Hello all.

I'm a Mum to 3 gorgeous kiddos and recently found out I'm pregnant. I do not want another baby and have had heart issues in the past which pregnancy only exacerbates.

I've been to BPAS this morning. Single pregnancy 5+4.
I've taken the first tablet

I am going to take the other tablets vaginally tomorrow.

I am absolutely petrified
I really would like some positive stories to help me through this as my anxiety is through the roof.
I'm worried about the pain and especially being sick (emetophobe here) I do have some Cyclizine in the house.

Positive vibes please ❤️

Don’t worry, having had many MC and terminations for medical reasons both first and second trimesters, you will be fine. It’s like period pain at that gestation. It’s more painful the further into pregnancy you go. Hope that helps. Good luck x

Thank you so much
3 hours in and it's just period paid and heavy ISH bleeding
Thank you ❤️

How did you get on Jodie? Hope everything went well for you.

I’m in the same situation, three lovely kiddies and a total contraceptive fail has found me pg again. I can’t have another baby, and DH is dead against but I’m feeling heartbroken at being in this situation. I’m going for a scan on Friday but anxious about when I can actually take the pills as we have a very busy weekend and then DH is away with work 😢 Feeling pretty stressed!

Thank you for sharing your story.

Why can’t you have it? It’s sounds to me like you are following your husbands wishes and not yours maybe? Are you sure?
Coming from someone with 3 kids too, I know the prospect of 4 would be daunting so I can appreciate how confusing it may be for you. Sending hugs.

My last pregnancy was really tough and I don’t want to do that again. I also feel that between my three children and working two jobs, I’m already spread so thin I’m not the parent I want to be. So it matters a lot that DH is certain he doesn’t want more as I feel it helps me to be certain, iyswim? He has said it’s my decision ultimately, and he’ll support wherever decision I make. Thank you for asking though.

Bless you, that’s tough!
wishing you the best of luck!
