Why aren’t you ready? I thought I wasn’t but life has been great w two- 3&1. Their dad and I are together and we have great income so I can’t complain but I know everyone has their reasons

well it’s your body and your choice, i’m not sure where you live but if abortion is an option for you there’s always that. or adoption but i feel like that’s just as hard as an abortion. whatever you do tho it’s ok as long as it’s the right choice for YOU

I wasn’t necessarily ready for my second at first either (I was only 4 mos PP with my first baby when I found out I was pregnant again !), but then it settled in a little bit and I got excited. My little ones are now only 13 mos apart, they are 2 and almost 1! But it’s actually not that bad because they’re into all the same things, I didn’t have to start over at all, etc. but like Sapphire said, I’m married to their father and we’re financially comfortable, so I’m not sure how things would be if that wasn’t the case. But just keep in mind that a lot of people don’t plan on their kids, but they figure it out and make it work, and you will too! Also, if it’s any consolation, I feel that becoming a mom and adapting to one baby was way harder than going from one to two babies! Others I speak to usually agree!

You have options! You can keep or not, totally up to you. I got an IUD so I don’t have to think about it

I was just pregnant with my third I have a 12 yr old with my ex and almost 1 yr old we don't live together but our new baby would have been born in August but I lost them on Valentine's Day I am sad because although I thought I wasn't ready i got excited and was gonna make it work

I make nothing at my job and it would be hard but I wanted my baby still miss them

Hope things work out for you

Sending prayers

As woman we are stronger than you think we can do anything

The best thing you could do is talk it over with someone who can give you all the options. Call your GP and work through what you might want to do. My friend recently went through this and opted for abortion in the end. She's found it extremely difficult, but knew it was right for her and their family. Do you have any other support networks? Friends/family? X

Sending you all the love ❤️
Thank you everyone, I unfortunately have social work for my little one due to her father being violent and what not, I’m scared that social work with interviene and something might happen?!
I feel as though I could do this but it’s all the other challenges I face

I'm so sorry your going thru that my ex pulled shit on me with social workers while I was pregnant with my second cuz he was mad and jealous I moved on even tho he was gay and cheating on me with men and abusive to me so yeah I guess I wasn't allowed to move on be happy and start a family with someone else ultimately social workers saw I was a good mom and he ended up losing rights after failing numerous drug tests and now he bailed on her and moved state

The truth always comes out

I'll keep you in my prayers also they can't take your kids if your out of the violent situation just so your aware

Sending you hugs and encouragement
