DH and I have been a bit shit and have ended up with an unplanned pregnancy. We already have 3 kids (1 is mine) and our youngest is 10 months.
We have just started a business together, which we're excited about, we're just about to launch and everything is geared up to go. This will put a massive spanner in the works.
I'm feeling that we've just 'come out of the woods' with bb3, who had a difficult first few months - not illness, just major colic/screaming/relentless crying.
There is also only 18 months between bb2 a bb3.
We would probably plan bb4 eventually. I am currently 35 and the "2 babies in 2 years" has really put me through the wringer, physically.
We're not religious, but I feel a termination would be one of convenience, in a way. Although we could accommodate 4, in terms of our car and house size, the income from the new business is currently a big unknown. I also feel that I'm just getting back on track with my other kids in terms of giving them quality time and having our whole family back in balance.
What's my question? I feel sad that we have to go through this, and have brought this on ourselves through carelessness. I'm looking for reassurance of other adult parents who may have been in a similar situation and got through it.
