pregnant and not sure what to do

[haylzp87]

hello,

I found out I was pregnant yesterday and according to my flo tracker, I’m 5 weeks.

It wasn’t planned. I have been on the pill a few times over the last 12 years with my partner and I’ve been off it for just over 2 years now. We have had a lot of unprotected sex so we assumed we couldn’t get pregnant.

now I am, I guess it’s a shock to both of us.

I’m petrified. We live with his mum as we can’t afford a place of our own. I’m torn.

I don’t want to do the wrong thing but I also don’t think it’s the right time?

According to his mum I could be further along as I’ve been feeling sick for weeks. She said we should go ahead with it but I’m scared.

I’m scared of giving birth. I’m scared of being pregnant and something awful goes wrong. I’m scared my dogs won’t like the massive change. They’re my babies 😭

I’ve registered the pregnancy with the hospital and I’m not sure how long I have to wait before seeing anyone.

I had an abortion when I was 18 because my Dad made me. It was such a horrible experience

Hey didn’t want to see your post and not reply, I’ve been in a similar situation myself and found talking to the charity BPAS really helpful.

They offer terminations in the UK, and offer free counselling to help you decide what to do. I did this and it really helped me confirm the right decision for me at the time. Giving them a call and booking to talk to a counsellor might help you.

Best of luck xx
