Feeling pretty alone

This is my second pregnancy and was not planned. My partner did not want this baby for financial reasons- we both have good jobs but just have large outgoings and wanted to be able to give our LG a great life. I couldn’t go through with an abortion mentally or physically the thought terrifies me. But now I feel really alone my partner has said it will just take him some time to get used to it but he doesn’t want to tell anyone until our 12 week scan but I would like to tell our parents. He doesn’t want to go for an early scan and I just feel like he just wants to pretend it not happening. I know he may need some time but I would like to start enjoying this pregnancy now that I have my head around it and especially after such a stressful start. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I also love my partner he is my world and I’m in a very happy relationship!

Am in same situation and also it’s my 2nd pregnancy that I couldn’t go through with abortion . I would give him some time to process everything

And enjoy pregnancy as normal

Also a second pregnancy but we were the other way around. My partner is super excited about baby no. 2 and it's taking me a while to get used to the idea of having 2 under 2. I don't want to tell anyone about it till 12 weeks but because neither me nor my partner currently drive it's not feasible. He wanted to tell people as soon as we found out with our first (at 5 weeks) and I said OK mostly for the reason. We found out I was pregnant the day his grandad died and his funeral is Tuesday. It just feels like poor timing to tell anyone about it

I feel alone. I fell pregnant with my 3rd with my partner of a few months. We decided to split beginning of March, found out I was pregnant end of March. I went to an abortion clinic, I just couldn’t go through with it, I don’t like the thought of it either. Now I’m going to be a single mum of 3. Financial situation isn’t a problem but I’m so nervous, I’ve only now started to get excited 😅xx

@Ellie am in same situation I’ve been thinking about abortion I just doesn’t sit right with me

Am 7 weeks

@Porcha I just keep thinking I wanted one more, this will be my last one even though the situation is shit and I’m doing it alone. My 4&5 year old will be helpful I’m sure 😂 But then I also think who the hell is going to want a single mum with 3 kids so I’ll probably be single for the next few years 😅

My first LB was IVF so we really wanted him. He is only 10 months old and we are unexpectedly pregnant again. We had already had a talk before we found out and decided to wait till LB was in school due to financial reasons and how expensive nursery is. Fast forward and here we are. I’m nearly 8 weeks pregnant. Took my partner a while to come around and myself too tbh. Because of everything we went through to get my LB we both always said we could never get an abortion so we knew we had to do deal with it. I don’t think I could have gone through the past few weeks without speaking to people about it. Is there no one you trust to talk to that won’t blab their mouth?xxx

@Ellie the dads will come back round , I did t plan have no more just the one so it was really unplanned but babies are blessings , that’s how I look at it that my son will be helpful he’s 6
