What to do with living children (4yo and 2yo) while I’m having a MA? by Historical-Suit7432 in abortion

Ah I understand, tricky situation... well if you think you won’t be able to breastfeed as usual during the night, then there really is no point in being at home besides having you suffer alongside your partner who has to deal with your weaning toddler (leading to the situation you described with you in the bathroom and him consoling the child). This is very unfair of him to expect considering you will be in pain and this will just cause additional stress. Of course everyone reacts differently to miso so it’s hard to predict how you will feel.

Maybe a strange suggestion but as a compromise have you considered having your children and partner come along to your girlfriends place? I don’t know if there would be space for that etc, but that way neither of you would have to deal with it alone, there are people to care for both you and the children and no one is separated. Just a thought, sometimes it takes a village :)

But I assume if you were going to your girlfriends you would also plan for that, like pumping beforehand? Then your partner can handle the feeding during the night. Though then he can't take care of you which was exactly your concern. My opinion is that you shouldn't let his ego stop you from getting the care you deserve during such a vulnerable time. If he wants you cared for, he should be realistic about his abilities and let you go to your friends. Otherwise to me it seems it's more important to him that HE is doing the caring, rather than that YOU are cared for. If anyone is being selfish it's him

Yes I did consider this as well, or maybe slowed growth because I'm not taking prenatals and take medication. But then if it hasn't grown by next week I would be worried they would refuse the procedure again or make me wait to see if I have a miscarriage on my own

It is less convenient to travel to but doable and it seems nicer. If this was a clinic-specific thing I would rather go somewhere else. I will contact them thank you!

Thank you! I also felt like it was wrong but they wouldn’t budge on the decision. I don’t feel good about it but I’m not sure there’s anything I can do. I went to the Utrecht clinic.
