Pregnant and devastated

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant. Likely only 4ish weeks.
I am devastated to say the least. We have done fertility treatment 3 times resulting in our two DC and one miscarriage.
I am definitely done having children, and usually we are very good with protection but this is a result of a one time slip up.
I have very irregular cycles and don’t usually ovulate naturally so this is just a total shock.
I know in my heart that a termination is the right thing to do. I just feel so sad 😢

I’m in your situation and i am equally devastated. If anything has solidified my decision I do not want more children this is it. I have thought about continuing but my want and thought is about that lovely time when the baby is small and cute and cuddley but then it switches to the sleepless nights , contact illness and juggling work , a husband , two children and a dog already. I already find it difficult to squeeze in a trip to the loo without having another child. I’m also incredible anxious and always think if something goes wrong with this I wouldn’t forgive myself as it would disrupt my children’s lives so much and I want to give 100% to them. They are my world and matter to me more than anything I know I could not give them that if I had another. This is what is right for me but you do what is right for you. It is not unusual to feel deveststed because you know even though babies are lovely they are are massive undertaking for not just you but the whole family. X
