Would your partner be ok with the abortion? Try talking to him about you not being ready

Whilst this won’t help you in the immediacy my advice would be to figure out a contraception that works for you if this keeps happening when you’re not ready.

My love I’m speaking with all the love in my heart, if you fear the repercussions of abortion please don’t do it, that fear of feeling guilt won’t get better, I’m not telling you this to cause fear but please do warn you, I’ve seen so many women break after abortion, it’s not talked about enough, I fully understand you are in a difficult place, but I promise you in 10 years time you will be sat with an 11 year old and a 9 year old and be so thank you for them. I promise hard times are temporary, you will get through this. This little blessing in your belly will bring you so much future, if you need financial or emotional advice please message! I can try and get find places. Your little one is so safe in your perfect womb, please think of them and your future self ❤️

Speak with your partner and discuss the option of an abortion. Also discuss what your lives would look like with another baby. If you do decide you don’t want to go forward with the pregnancy that’s okay. Abortions come with a mourning period for lots of people. And that’s okay. It doesn’t mean it’s the wrong choice. No one I know who has had an abortion has regretted their decision in the long run.

Do the right thing by yourself, whatever you think it is.Talk out both scenarios with your partner and of course, consider whatever he thinks, but ultimately YOU decide.

1. is your partner or just your boyfriend?
2. if you’re not ready that’s okay to acknowledge because no matter what you would be the default parent don’t raise a child you’re not 100% excited to have

I fell pregnant 9 months pp. Even though it was planned I didn't feel ready and freaked out for a few months. Until I felt baby kick and I realised the baby was the same as the one I have and just fell in love with it. I'm now approaching my due date and can't wait to meet my baby. I love him as much as my first and my first baby will have a sibling/friend close in age for the rest of their life which they'll both thank me for.
The way you feel now may not be the way you feel later. Give yourself some time to digest the information. If you wanted more than one kid, a closer age gap imo is the best! My dms are open x

Contraception is a good idea to look into going forward if this is how you’ve felt about both pregnancies👍🏼
