Pregnant again and twins are 23 months old (tw mentions abortion)
So I’m pregnant again which has come as a huge surprise. My husband doesn’t want a 3rd at all but doesn’t want an abortion however he said he wants to come around to the idea.
I’m so unbelievably lost, I would love another baby but I dont my twins to get less time with me. I am a stay at home mum so it would be me, a newborn and 2 2 and a half year olds. I’m scared I’ll regret the abortion. Sorry not sure the reason for the post just feel very alone in this decision.

I'm sorry that you're battling through some intense feelings right now. Only you and your husband can know what's best for your family.
Obviously going from 2 children to 3 can be a bit of a jump as it may have implications on housing, car, ability to afford holidays etc.
But what I will say is, the "less time with me" thing is only a short term impact. When the baby is small, yes it'll take some of your time and attention (not as much as newborn twins remember) but in the long term, that sibling will add to the lives of your other children. Playing together, supporting each other and growing the love of your family.
I hope with some time yours and your husband's feelings will become clearer and you can have some more peace, whatever decision it is that you make ☺️
