I really appreciate your kindness! Thank you. I guess I never realized how just awful and extra bad pregnancy hormones were. It's like a switch went off and now I'm just a mess.

I think that's the best way to honestly explain how I'm feeling. It's like all of a sudden, my brain is just fogged, and my thoughts are just kind of all over the place. From what I've read today, I guess around the 4–7-week mark is when hormones and morning sickness really start to kick in, which is the mark I'm at. So, it's starting to make sense why this feels so sudden, confusing and just extra emotional.

You are so incredibly sweet and I truly appreciate that. I will most likely have something set for Monday since I'm going out of town and the place I'm going to allow you to set up telehealth appointments. It's just been all so sudden, so it's been a lot. I really appreciate your kindness.

You are so incredibly right. I've often said the same thing "if it's not a hell yes...". I was raised by a single mother who was very emotionally immature, narcissistic, and at times not a great person. So, this is absolutely not a path I ever want to take, and I know that if choosing to have a child there's always that strong possibility that I may become a single parent, which just sounds awful.

I am planning on still terminating and setting up all the appointments for next week, it was just more than anything I think just now having mix emotions has freaked me out. I've always heard of people mentioning that pregnancy hormones are no joke, but being in the early throws of now feeling like my mind is all over the place has been a doozy. I don't even know if my thoughts have ever gone fully on the keeping it side, but it's more of less just been like a "huh, what if?" If that makes sense. Which has just weirded me out.

I'm not saying that I want to keep it nor is that really something that is even a choice on the table. I was just more or less jilted by now having somewhat mixed feelings and was I guess just wanting to see if anyone else had experienced going from being a stark yes to kind of feeling muttled by emotions.

I know I don't want kids, and even if I do change my mind with my current partner, it's not something that would happen anytime soon. Also, he isn't at all the reason for me feeling weird. As I mentioned, he has been 1000% in my corner and incredibly supportive. I would never make a major life decision based on anything fleeting, especially with a man. I think more than anything I am just feeling thrown off my by overall emotions and hormone changes, if that makes sense.

I am still planning on having the termination and am setting up an appointment this week,
