I’m too old to do it again
i I have 5 children two are young adults!
I had pnd and anxiety after the last quiet bad
i had a small prolapse last time (ok ish now) and very bad morning sickness which I needed tablets for in the last ones
I can’t go ahead can I? It would be soo stupid but i feel stressed and anxious
if anyone had any kind words of wisdom? I have no one to chat to with this in rl.

@WhyWomen26 hi hun I hope your okay I'm so sorry you have no one to talk to. I can tell by your mesages you have your mind made up . I had a termination but very diffrent story . I was single 38 first time being pregant and dad didn't want to know and I wasn't working. So completely diffrent . But for me personally i went into a very dark depression I begged and prayed after I took the tablets that somehow it would fail and my pregnancy would be there . It wasn't . The doctor who gives the termination said you will get your life back in a week . I still want to slap her in the face to this day over that comment . I did not get my life back in a week . Took me a long time to smile or laugh again I couple even listen to music for moths the guilt I felt . I don't say any of this to scare you or upset you as we have two completely different story's and life's . But I want you to make sure you are 1000% sure because I wasn't and i rushed it . I'm 39 now dating someone new but very early and I pray god is good to me and I get my baby back. You have your babies so I understand it's totally diffrent . But please see counselling before . I don't think there is enough known about the after affect . Some women are fine and have no regrets . Think deeply. Sending you a big hug xxx 🩷

Thank you for your message that sounds horrible and I’m sorry you suffered so much
nothing is an easy decision and reading up on it there’s certainly a lot more stories that are very similar to yours
many thanks for taking the time to respond to my post
im actually 44 just gone! My post was a typo and can’t change it now
so thats a big worry for me as the health implications to myself and the high risk of defects is quite worrying
