My boyfriend doesn’t want more kids and is pressuring me to have an abortion

Viagra, fiance, husband

WHEN I told my boyfriend I am having his baby, he said I should have a termination.

We have two kids already and he has another from a previous partner.

I’ve booked myself in for an abortion but am heartbroken to have to put myself through this.

I’m 32 and my boyfriend is 34. We have been together for nine years.

I tried talking to him but he says he won’t help with the baby if I go ahead.

I have nobody to talk to about this and I don’t want my family to know. But I just sit in the bath and cry.

ADVICE: This is so sad. Has your boyfriend been taking precautions if he is so keen for you not to have another baby?

Think realistically about life with another child.

If you are sure you can cope, though, you shouldn’t have a termination.

My e-leaflet on Unplanned Pregnancy explains where you can find support to think this through.
