[quote=Anonymous]I have three other children, oldest is 11.

My husband does not want a fourth child but says the decision is ultimately up to me. He is trying not to pressure me.

I’ve always wanted more children but once I was late, I was freaking out. It’s important to me that my husband would be fully on board. Pregnancy test positive, but faintly. I have a history of miscarriages after faint positive pregnancy tests, so not sure it would take. But if I decide to terminate, I want to do it before 6 weeks/heartbeat. Currently 5 days past expected period. So waiting and hoping for a miscarriage feels passive. If I want a miscarriage, why wouldn’t I proactively terminate before it develops more.

I am pro-choice but never thought I would go through it myself. All my other pregnancies were very much planned and hoped for.

I know my husband would really prefer not to go through with the pregnancy because it will take away from our time and resources that we have for our existing children. I completely understand his concerns and they are very valid. Financially, we are just making it by but could sacrifice a lot to make this work. These decisions are very complicated and I would appreciate some perspective and kind advice.  Please do not make this political.

Thank you.
