Periods 5 days late - terrified

Hi, I'm not quite sure why I'm posting this, I think I need a handhold really 💐

I'm 21, with a 6 month old baby. I have absolutely no plans of having another baby soon , after having my baby I went on the pill but had to come off it as recommended by the dr as I was undergoing medical investigations. We then started using condoms, the odd time didn't use one in the heat of the moment (really stupid i'm well aware) but dp has never actually finished inside of me of course pulled out. (Also well aware this is seriously silly for someone who does NOT want another baby yet) anyway... my periods returned 4 weeks pp and have been regular ever since, until now i'm 5 days late and I am terrified, I am genuinely shaking with anxiety and fear.

I wasn't able to get out so I ordered pregnancy tests that are arriving today. My heart is beating out of my chest , I am not okay. I don't have any symptoms of pregnancy, with my baby I had loads even before my missed period. But that doesn't mean anything.

If the test comes back positive today I will be genuinely distraught. Absolutely devastated. Consequences of my own stupid actions!!! Abortion isn't an option for me.

I will come back and update , if it's positive I will really need a handhold and some advice. I am SO scared!

I know it's so hard to do but try to calm yourself down if you can, deep slow breaths and sip some water. If you are pregnant and wouldn't want an abortion then it is what it is - you will be ok. It will be hard work but your baby will have someone to play with, you'll definitely have your hand in and know what to expect. You've got this.

OP you do have choices. Pls don't rule out abortion because you feel you should.

Best of luck

Dont be scared , even if it turns out to be positive think of it rationally, by the time you give birth your 6 month old will be 1year plus and I'm sure in future youll be happy it happened so x or periods juat got messed up cause you were on the pill for a bit x thats a possibility
