Need some support

Emily

Hi All,

I just found out this week I’m pregnant— guessing about a month along based on dates of unprotected sex. I’m so conflicted...

My husband (he’s 33) and I (I’m 32) have been married almost 5 years and both want kids, but we literally just started thinking about it seriously in January. I stopped my birth control in January and figured it would take a while for me to get pregnant because of irregular cycles and possible PCOS. Well, surprise, I’m pregnant after our first try.

When I first found out I was super excited but over the last few days I’ve been doubting myself more and more. I am still relatively young in my career and while we are financially stable now, I worry that when we add a little one things are going to be more stressful. Also we have no family and hardly any friends where we currently live so I am worried about not having any support to help us through this new period in our lives.

I am considering terminating the pregnancy but am so scared I will regret my decision down the road. I also think what if we have trouble getting pregnant later on... maybe this is our only chance?

I just don’t know what to do! I have an appointment with my ob-gyn next Monday to confirm the pregnancy. What questions should I ask about termination? How did any of you ladies decide for or against terminating a pregnancy??

❤️❤️❤️ to everyone!
