Abortion

[BoyMoM2021]

Evening all.

Please don't judge, just after some advice from mum to mum, for those who may have been through it. So I've just found out I'm pregnant again, around 5/6 weeks. I'm not with the baby's father and it's quite a complicated situation. He's not ready for kids. I on the other hand want nothing more than to have children again. I currently have a boy who is 4 soon, from an old relationship. He's my world. How do you go about coming to terms with the fact that you're going to have to do something, you never want to do, and how do you live with the regret. I can't imagine looking to the future and being able to ever forgive myself for doing that. To me, every child is a blessing and never a regret. I feel so uncomfortable having an abortion, to a point it actually makes me want to be sick. Has anyone else gone through the same? How do you cope?

I can't settle that I'm doing the right thing in my heart because I know I'm not, but there's a few reasons why having another child isn't right, right now anyway.

Thanks.

Hello Boymom, what a tragic situation you're in. You want nothing more than to have another child, but circumstances feel stacked against you. Do you want to talk about the things that are preventing you from having this baby? Because when a person aborts a wanted child, I think that is the most traumatic situation to have to try to recover from. It's a situation that happens all the time on this board - only most of the time the mum only realizes after she's taken the pills that deep down, she would have liked to have had the baby. You already know you'd like another child so it's not even a question of what you would want to do. Is it purely financial, or something else? Hope you are getting through the days okay and not going to pieces. I'll be praying for you and there are lots of nice people here if you'd like to talk.
