    That's what I thought but wanted to be sure. I noticed her signature and was thinking she was doing well in life with having a morgage at 15 too :rotfl: But then again she could have been using a shared username :D

    Hi OP, I don't exactly have an answer but I use our local family planning clinic (not through our gp surgery) I think it is called a 3 c's clinic now for contraception, counselling and care. They would be my first thought should I ever find myself in your shoes. I have two beautiful children and a husband and our family is definately complete. Our GP won't refer my husband for the snip until our DS is one (a few weeks away now:p), so I had a mirena coil fitted which I have found by far the best contraception so far (and I've tried a few lol).

    Maybe you could google 3 c's clinics for your area.

    Very best wishes to you xx

    Was that aimed at me or Kimberley?

    You.

    It's usually propaganda spread by pro life groups.

    Thank you all so much I have an appointment tomorrow morning. I feel so bad I have let this happen but we couldnt cope with more children.
    Try not to feel bad, these things happen, I have 2 children and I don't want any more. You haven't done anything wrong, a friend of mine fell pregnant again soon after her 2nd child and her and the hubby both felt a termination was the only option, she felt bad about it but knew she wasn't ready for a 3rd child

    OP

    don't feel bad about it, accidents happen, and the way I look at it is that the children who are already here have to take priority over any possible future children. If your family is big enough, and you know another baby would have a bad impact on you, then you are doing what is right for everyone. Your kids are more important than what is at the moment just a blob of cells.

    Hope everything goes through nice and quickly for you, best wishes.

    Just ignore the few judgemental twerps on here.

    But I'd also recommend sending OH for the snip so you don't have to go through this again. Quick, easy, cheap as well if you have to go private to speed things up (well, comparatively), best thing my blokey ever did! :-) Or sometimes it's possible to have a female steralisation at the same time as the abortion, so ask your doc?

    I am shocked at the lack of care people are showing in discussing this matter. were not talking about throwing away an old handbag. its ridiculous. this is a childs life, everything happens for a reason and you fell pregnant on the pill for a reason. luckily i live in northern ireland were abortion is illegal and hope this will remain. have u ever stopped to think how ur husband and kids would feel about u aborting their child/sibling/. as for the money thing... i havent a pot to !!!! in most weeks but my son is well looked after, fed, clean and clothed and above all he is loved unconditionally and although i cant afford fancy things or nice holidays i know in the grand scheme of things they dont really matter.

    What reason would that be then, as you seem to know.

    luckily i live in northern ireland were abortion is illegal and hope this will remain.
    This is the reason English abortion clinics are full of NI women.

    have u ever stopped to think how ur husband and kids would feel about aborting their child/sibling/.
    And have you considered excercising a little compassion?

    as for the money thing... i havent a pot to !!!! in most weeks but my son is well looked after, fed, clean and clothed and above all he is loved unconditionally and although i cant afford fancy things or nice holidays i know in the grand scheme of things they dont really matter.

    I'm sure you will feel better now you've got that lot off your chest. Don't judge, lest you be judged.

    What do u mean !!!!!!?!!! Children are the most perfect things anyone will ever do and to talk about them like a blob of cells is ridiculous! having my son gave me a purpose in life,completed me and God forbid anythin wud happen to him or an unborn child of mine. some people struggle for years to conceive. i strongly urge OP to consider her decision very carefully and definately feel she shud inform her OH and kids

    actually ur clinics are not full of ni patients, very few in comparison with ur english patients. people seem to hav a relaxed opinion about the situation as its legal were u live and is relatively easy to have done but these are kids and mayb opinions wud change if such services wernt so readily available which they shouldnt be as really the relaxed approach just means abortion is more or less a birth control method
