6 weeks pregnant at 39 - termination next week. So alone

[Jen686]

Hi, I'm 39 and unexpectedly fallen pregnant. I feel so irresponsible, I came off the pill due to Gynecology issues waiting on a long referral.

My partner of 3 years knows and is supportive of my decision but I feel so alone and guilty.
I'm terrified of the procedure and have to go for a scan due to bleeding on December which I thought was my period. I've had to wait 2 weeks on the appointment and since taking the test I've felt so nauseous which makes things real.

I don't know how to get through this, I've been at work and noone has a clue. The guilt is immense about what I'm going to do.

I have an 8 year old daughter to a previous relationship and my partner and I don't live in the same town.

Hi, I am going through this now too. I plan to take my first tablet today. I have had them since Monday & put it off due to anxiety eating me alive. I am 33 & have a 7 yr old. I had a surgical in 2023 & I was awake and a lot further along (11 weeks) it wasn’t bad just afterwards I had bleeding & cramping which wore off after a day or so.

I am 7 weeks & 3 days at present and have terrible health anxiety due to a traumatic birth with my 7 yr old.. hence why I feel I can never do it again. I have felt so poorly, exhausted, sick at most smells and foods. Do you know how far along you are yet? I just seen your thread & I thought you might need a virtual hand to hold and someone who is in the same position as you. I am here if you need to talk about anything x

Thank you so much . I think I'm around 6 weeks so by next week when I have the appointment I'll be around 7+3 too.
I have to have a scan which I think is making it worse also just waiting 2 weeks for the appointment.

I'm the same , feel rubbish and feel very sick most of the day. Situations sound quite similar 😬

When do you think you'll take it? I hope you have some support? It's a horrible situation 🙁
