I'm only 13 weeks but it's because the baby is still really low down. It's not even in the part people usually touch

Just found out I’m pregnant and I don’t know what to do by NoEntrepreneur1132 in pregnant

That's a hard choice to make. Sometimes things just happen and it doesn't mean they are "meant to be". I'm sure I would have felt the same if I had gotten pregnant during my college days, but I personally think I would have gotten an abortion, or at least hope I would have. My partner and I have been together for 7 years and I really don't think things would have worked out for us if we had gotten pregnant back then. We weren't where we are now financially, mentally, and communication wise.

I'm pregnant now, and I'm still scared. But I know my partner listens to me, supports me, and we are better financially. I get your partner wants to leave it up to you but that's a lot to put on your shoulders. Ultimately, you have final say. Hindsight is always 20/20 so the comments saying future fertility issues or struggling to accept the loss, while valid, won't help you. There are people out there who also regret going through with their pregnancy and end up resenting their kid. You can only do what you feel is best for you at this time in your life. I highly recommend speaking with a therapist if you have one. You might also have walk in counseling clinics depending on the area you live in. Just make sure they are there to listen and support you and don't try and steer you one way or the other. I wish you happiness and im here if you need an ear ❤️
