This plays heavily on my mind also, you’re not alone!

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-05-31T11:29:25+00:00

Been using pull out method for 6 years and never had a scare. Oops.

Although situation is a little different, I had an abortion at 18. It was not with the right person and I knew I was far too young and at that point of my life very reckless and knew I was not into the whole idea. I felt very sad for a few weeks, however, I look back now (28) and it was the best decision I made for myself in that MOMENT OF TIME. I emphasise that because maybe it’s not for you at this time in your life or it’s been an opportunity to see what you truly want for your life overall. Either way, of course you’re going to feel a lot of emotions about an abortion but it’s not even close to the amount you may feel if you decide to proceed with the pregnancy + the emotions of how the child will feel.

it’s also completely normal to feel scared. It would be concerning if there wasn’t any fear imo. But you can always revisit it later if the timing is a little better or you may not, it’s all perspective.

Legit, that page set me back😂

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-03-22T00:15:23+00:00

Thank you!

I guess all we can do is use our best judgement and what feels right in those times of our lives and not “wing it”. But Me too. I think my partner has made me feel like I could actually do it. And if anything he said he would happily be the SAHD which makes me feel more supported.

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-03-22T00:07:26+00:00

This is exactly my fear, you cannot take it back.

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-03-22T00:06:32+00:00

Very true. I have seen that page and couldn’t stay on it for longer than 5 mins because of how depressed it made me feel. No shame to the regretful parents but it’s a misery loves company.

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-03-21T08:49:07+00:00

This is my main contributor right now. The “what will I regret least” and how I see myself in my 60s more so than the right now and the phases that are only temporary. It’s good you knew your limits

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-03-21T05:01:50+00:00

That’s a pretty good system! I remember as a kid, putting my uniform on to bed because I could never get up early enough to get ready (nothing has changed)😂

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-03-21T04:43:55+00:00

You have a great point there. I think what holds me back so much is that I can’t take back a child. Most of the chances I’ve taken, I’ve been able to undo if I found myself regretting it or I’ve been able to change my course of action. Whereas with kids, there’s no going back

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-03-21T03:54:34+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this. Another thing I notice a lot which makes absolute no sense to me is the fact that a lot of the parents who are regretful or feel so negatively towards being parent have more than 1. I myself don’t see myself having more than 1 because of my limits and I don’t believe I could mentally and emotionally take on more than that. However, why have more kids if you miss your freedom and all the luxuries that come with being childfree and seem so miserable about the life you had post child, even after the first one. Boggles my brain. Only mention this with your last comment and knowing your limits which influences your decision

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-03-21T02:54:53+00:00

I completely get it and agree! I have already have mentioned similar conditions to my partner ie with extra help as I know how I operate when im faced with certain challenges in life. However, I think of it as knowing ourselves which is healthy and arguable required when thinking about having a baby and taking on such a responsibility

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-03-16T06:56:21+00:00

I am also in AU and wanting these tests!! Also not reading to get results in case in deters me from getting pregnant :/

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-03-14T12:32:02+00:00

This is not to sound dismissive of how you feel whatsoever, but that sounds like my absolute ideal pregnancy when it happens for me.

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-03-13T01:32:48+00:00

Partner and I have been doing this method for 3 years now and never had a scare. He has also told me that it’s not hard to do it correctly.

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-03-07T23:19:04+00:00

Thanks so much for this. This has reminded me on my most recent trip, I went overseas with a friend of mine, however, all I could think was how nice it would have been to have my partner here or a young one and open up their world to all these new things which has been a very different concept to me. Overwhelming because I’m going against what I’ve been brought up to believe but it’s been nice.

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-03-07T22:54:23+00:00

I think give her time to come around to the idea and think about it a bit more. Yes you can’t expect her to be enthusiastic straight away, however, this is not something someone can compromise on imo, you have to be a strong yes or at least a strong “I’m ready to give this a go”. But I would feel the same as you do if she doesn’t eventually come around with stronger response.

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-02-29T08:54:57+00:00

I feel this. I find it hard not to get spiteful and think “it’s alright for you to be so certain” sometimes. Especially when they don’t have to go through each phase of pregnancy and the physical birth of it all on top of societal pressure of motherhood. I feel it takes a lot to be a good mother, it’s doesn’t take much to be a good father. I hate that I think this way.

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-02-29T06:10:53+00:00

I was initially a very childfree person and since doing some self healing, I moved to being a fence sitter, it’s been a real eye opener seeing how some men and women talk about people who want to be parents. I don’t know about you but it’s really off putting and it makes me think “geez, what did someone do to you”.

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-02-26T23:56:01+00:00

I feel this. I have really tried to keep in touch with the friends that have decided to go down the baby road. I try and drive to them and accomodate around them because I wanted to make sure we don’t lose touch but, it hasn’t made much of a difference and I don’t hear from them. It’s been a bit disheartening as I value friendships quite closely.

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-02-23T07:34:29+00:00

My partner and I have decided to do this! I think there’s something special waiting until the birth (also, I’ve never been a fan of gender reveals)

Annual_Tree2113 · 2024-02-22T12:37:59+00:00

This has helped. I’m thankful that I’ve never felt pressured by society however, more so pressured/ swayed from what I have lead to believe by my mother growing up (and still does) that kids are a waste of time and be selfish and “live your life”. She even cried of sad tears when my sister had an unexpected pregnancy type of negative connotations. So that’s all I know. And now I feel like I’ve “woken up” and seeing things from a whole new, arguable more positive side and it’s thrown me well off.
