6 Weeks - Unsure on termination.

[AnnaReid]

Hi there,

I know this is such a trigger subject for people, but anyway.

I was being really really careful, used condoms, etc, checked for signs of ovulation.. and somehow, on my PCOS riddled 50 cycle, I'm suddenly 5 weeks pregnant after finishing my period on the 6th of oct. So, I guess I ovulated around a week and a bit after the bleeding stopped.

Partner and I are about to move to Swansea from Scotland! We don't have a place of our own yet, but we do work, albeit not a lot of money, probably about £30k total from the two of us.

It's a bit of a shock, to be honest. Whilst we'd love to have a child, we don't feel as though we could give it our very best at the moment, so I am considering a termination.

I don't know what do to! My feelings are all over the place. Help.

That's pretty much it! Panic panic panic!

Oh, and I was being careful as we'd decided we'd wait a little while to get settled in the new place, save up a little cash here and there. However, it's happening really fast now and I'm not sure how to cope.

I think I'm now panicking because it's *real* after having lost a baby and recieving negative tests. I really really need to think about this long and hard.

To those confused about my previous posts, I had lost a baby and think I suffered a little, as my body went through a lot and I was *convinced* I was pregnant, therefore it upset me a little when I found out I wasn't!

You are extremely lucky to be able to fall pregnant without medical assistance with policysic ovarian syndrome.
I am slightly confused by this post too.
You sound like you could give a child a decent life. My husband earns peanuts unfortunately but we are both very good parents and no matter what we still find ways to give our children a good life.
At the end of the day you will do what is best for you. On a forum like this nobody is going to agree with you on a termination..its a decision only you can make

I can honestly say I would cry everytime I had a negative pregnancy test, now I'm pregnant and (This may be anxiety induced) and am doubting everything! Will I be a good mom? Will my relationship be okay? no one is ever ready with their first child, planned or not no one is ever ready. It's a life changing decision, but then I think about being able to hold my child, and being called "mommy" and watching him or her grow. it won't be easy and your life is going to change forever, but if it wasnt meant to happen then you wouldnt have gotten pregnant. and i strongly believe that.
