So. I'm 47. I have older teen/adult children. Never wanted more. I'm done. Was done a long time ago.
I'm menopausal. Or thought I was.
Until I found out I'm pregnant.
Within ten minutes I'd booked a consultation for an abortion.
For many, many reasons I can't have a baby.
Never ever wanted another.
Not fair on my current kids.
No space in the house.
Not equipped for a baby.
Can't afford it.
No idea how I can keep my job and have a young baby.
Not with the dad. And he absolutely will not be supportive.
Don't want to be a single parent to a baby.
Far too old.
Have happily had an implant for years, so getting pregnant wasn't remotely on my mind.
But now I am.
I know in my heart the only real option is to terminate. I have an appointment on Tuesday.
But somehow I find myself thinking, what if?
I never ever thought I'd be in this situation, and I guess I'm just wondering if all these random conflicting thoughts are normal?
