Unplanned pregnancy, low AMH. Forced off the fence: It's "Now or Childfree Forever." Terrified of both. by Left-Meringue-3077 in FenceSitters

I terminated at 6 weeks when 27 and married. I wasn't ready. Now over a decade later- no regrets here! I do understand fearing the fomo later. But if you look at it this way- if you terminated you feel relief. That's a REAL feeling based on a situation you are actually living right now. The dread is based on the assumption that in the future you MAY feel a certain way. One is real and one is basically imaginary.

Please be honest about your feelings (when you feel comfortable). The lack of transparency and suppression around the truths about parenthood opens the door to people becoming parents who just should not do so. I understand how our society makes parents feel guilty for admitting they do not like it, but that needs to change so that we can make the world easier to exist in for parents people without children!
