Just found out I am pregnant and I don’t know what to do. Please no judgement
My self and my partner have said we’d like another baby but wasn’t going to start planning until late next year maybe even after that. Both of us do not know how we feel or know what to do. We’ve considered termination but I’m scared of that whole process and feel like a hypocrite for having one baby already and then wanting to get pregnant in the future. Unsure of the effects it’ll have on my body and future fertility. I’m worried if I keep the baby I’m just not mentally ready to go through that whole journey again just yet. Never thought I’d be in this position and it feels weird writing it all down. I just feel lost

Please don't feel like a hypocrite. You have the knowledge now of what having a baby is like so you're making a very informed choice. You've got to do what is right for you at the moment, whatever that may be. As far as I'm aware it has absolutely no effect on your fertility.
I've just had another baby (nearly 5 months ago) and the impact is huge! I recommend having a second when you're confident you want another as we wanted another and it's mentally breaking me!
Thank you for being so sensitive and kind. I feel awful at the moment but I know we’re both just not ready and it would be unfair. I’m sorry to hear you’re finding it tough with 2 and I hope it gets easier for you!
We were planning to have a second baby when my son starts school but i got pregnant when he was 9 months old. My son was a very demanding and difficult baby. Always wanted attention, had severe sleeping problems and tantrums etc.. I was unsure about the new baby as i had no family in the uk and no support from friends. Pregnancy was very difficult with a demanding toddler but thanks god i had my baby girl now. She is completely a different experience. Things were difficult only for first couple of months and now we all settled. My daughter adores my son and my son loves to care her. Knowing that my kids at least will have each other in this world and never feel alone in the future make me feel happy. I think it is worth every pain i went through
