Hey , personally I have always been against abortion , however i also strongly believe it is a personal choice , you need to do you and do what would be best for you and your family , the only thing i would say befor you take any decision is to talk so someone( a professional) as you said you had a traumatic birth , but unfortunately so can be an abortion or the aftermath Get some support and as i said in the begining do what it best for your physical and mental health

Sending hugs🤗 I'm not going to tell you either way, as this is a decision that you {& maybe your partner} need to discuss. However, I can point you in the direction on how to get support for your PTSD from your first childbirth. https://www.nct.org.uk/information/life-parent/wellbeing-mental-health/traumatic-birth-and-post-traumatic-stress-disorder You are not alone & there is no 'right' or 'wrong' answer. I hope that you're okay & have support around you x

Hey, feel free to message me about this. I don’t want to divulge too much on here but I may be able to help x

Hey, sorry to hear you’re having such a tough time. Looks like you’re uk based so you should reach out via your midwives or health visitor and you should be able to arrange a debriefing session all about your first birth with the team you were under (this can be with the dr if you want a deeper dive into what happened/why/future implications). You can then also discuss this new pregnancy with them and the options and have some time to think it over. At the end of the day all you can do is make yourself informed and then make whatever decision works best for you and your family ❤️ good luck
