Hi guys, I am around five or six weeks pregnant. I found out the other day due to me having really bad sickness so I decided to take a test and turn out. It came back positive. I took about five just to be sure and I’m definitely pregnant.
I already suffered HG in my previous pregnancies, but I had to be hospitalized every week
It wasn’t a very pleasant pregnancy. I got very sick.
And I’m kind of put off by it seeing as I’ve got these bad memories coming back from it I’ve had no time to brace myself for this. It’s come quite early. I didn’t get a morning sickness till about week 10 or 11 last time.
Anyway, I am on medication for weight loss called mounjaro and I’m on a weight loss journey and obviously it’s not safe to take this stuff when pregnant and I’ve already took it when I didn’t know
I don’t know whether it’s the right time for me to have another baby already have a send child she’s three years old but I don’t know whether to have an abortion or not. I don’t wanna have regrets afterwards. I’m kind of stuck. Because now it’s not the right time to have another child. My partner did cheat on me a few months ago and I just found out We’ve only just got back on track and I’ve only just started to forgive him
Anyway, I just wanted to rant to be honest. I don’t really have anyone to talk to about this. It’s just I don’t know if I have an abortion will I regret it it’s just financially I don’t know whether I can afford it and I don’t even know if I’ve got the space

Helly GreyCat, how are you doing? I'm so sorry to hear that your partner cheated and I hope that he genuinely is trying to make things right and be the father you and your child/children need. Does he know you're pregnant, and what does he think about adding another child to the family?

From what I have seen, the effects of mounjaro on pregnancy is not well known yet, but the main side effect seems to be lower birth weight, so not too serious in terms of birth defects. You might want to talk with a doctor about that before you assume the growing baby is "damaged" in any way. Also I thought I'd send a link about help with pregnancy sickness: https://pregnancysicknesssupport.org.uk/

I don't know a lot about your situation but it sounds like you're reluctant to abort, so I hope you can find a way through this that you can live with peacefully. Hope to hear from you again dear.
