8 weeks and don’t know if I want it

I feel terrible. I cry daily at the thought of having this third baby and then I cry daily for having those thoughts. The life I want to live does not include a third child financially. I’m scared to talk to my husband because I wanted a 3rd at some point but it was a surprise and I held our friends baby and felt so disconnected like I don’t want to do this again. I always said women should have a choice but I wouldn’t abort but now I’m contemplating it and I feel terrible

Please ignore Bethanys immature and unhelpful comments. Start by talking to your husband and getting it all out on the table. The way you feel is normal! I'm pregnant with my third unexpectedly too and it's scary especially when you were close to deciding to be done! Whatever you decide do it with your husband. Good luck! 🥰

Oh 😣 to be honest I would wait till 12 weeks before deciding anything. The first trimester is shit and really makes us irrational. So once you get to the second trimester discuss how you feel with your hubby and if you still feel the way you do and take it from there. 🖤

Talk to your husband. Think it tough together and whatever you two decide, do it together.

Just so you are aware and I’m sure you are since this is your third baby. By 8 weeks your child’s heart is beating. What makes that baby any less of a human than your other two children? You mentioned financial reasons, what’s to say the finances you have today won’t be gone tomorrow? What’s to say the finances you could have tomorrow are more than today’s? There is no way to predict money, because it comes and goes and nothing is ever set in stone. But I can guarantee you that you unborn child would be born looking for love not money. There are tons of resources for help in that area if needed. You probably didn’t feel connected to your friends baby because it wasn’t your own..

You don't get to Shame women sorry but no. Whatever choice she makes its not up to you or how you feel about embryos. Your reply is unnecessary.

Yes I agree make sure you talk to your husband about this because that is his child too and he would be helping financially as well if you guys have that type of relationship. But make sure it is what you both want and won’t regret later on. Goodluck 🤞💙
