Hi,

ive read through some of the other posts and replies on here and they were helpful and yet not.
i'll start from the begining:

i already have 3 beautiful kids 5, 2, and 19mths a girl and two boys all unplanned but all definately wanted and loved. my youngest 2 are very close in age (my youngest was born 12mths and one day after my now 2 yr old) my youngest also has a medical condition where his organs are a mirror image to ours (situs inversus with dextrocardia) and along with that he has immobile cillary dysknesia. it freaked the crap out of me at first because he was in and out of hospital for the first 5 mths the first 2 and a half mths was straight he came out a week before xmas 09.

long story short (sort of) when he was 6 mths old i found out i was pregnant again and i felt with the circumstances the way they were it wouldn't be fair on them or the child i was carrying to continue the pregnancy, i regretted it ever since (it also didnt help that the same day on the show packed to the rafters she had her baby. let me say here as i haven't as yet, i was in a domestic violence relationship that i had been trying to get out of for a year and a half, i was at my mum's at the time as i had finally gotten up the nerve (again) to get out but yet again i went back cause it seemed easier. halfway through last year i got the courage up again and got some community help - they gave me emergancy housing and i didnt tell him where i was (it was also a condition of my lease due to privacy of previous and future tenants) - then a few weeks ago i moved into my own dept housing house.
im jumping the gun abit here, so he could still see the kids i took them over to the house we used to share, he also had them on the odd occasion so i could go out with friends (though the condition was i had to stay there as he had to work the next morning) - doesnt sound like it was that bad i know but i have learnt that he can be nice and sweet and sucks me in everytime with it. well it happened again in about Feb when i was very drunk and i got back there had a moment of drunken weakness and gave in to him.... i have just found out (a week ago) that i am expecting i have worked out i am now approx 14wks and one day.
im scared and confused as i have been trying to get away from him (he knows im pregnant) he tells me he wants to move in here - i have absolutely no intention of letting that happen - non of my friends or family know, i feel ive pushed them away and i know they are going to be so disappointed in me - oh and to top it off my "perfect" sister is pregnant with her first (and it turns out due the day before me) mum's doing everything for her and im feeling extremely hurt because 1: she didnt do anything for my first (and her first grandchild) and 2: she didn't even see DD until she was 3 weeks old!
ive always been the big disappointment in my family - though my dad (stepdad - but always treated us as his own and still does) said when i told him i was due to have my 3rd so close to my 2nd - Darl whats another year out of your life? very true - but now i feel im being selfish - as i dont know i want another one but i do - i dont know im so confused - im scared - dont get me wrong i know i can do it on my own - which is alot easier than knowing you have a partner there but the are never actually there to help if that makes sense.
i like to think i dont care what others think or say about me but i'd be lying as i do care.

sorry if that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever i am so confused.
any advice any one has i would be extremely grateful :freakingout:

But hugs

I'm sorry Hun. It sounds like you have had a hard time.

Just because you are having his baby doesn't mean you have to go back to him :hugs:

Your 14 weeks so you only have the option of accepting this pregnancy or adoption.

By the sounds of your Mum, you probably won't be getting any help during this pregnancy or after bub is born from her as your sister will no doubt "need it more being her first" :rolleyes: do you have any other family or friends you can use for support?

I would also try and distance yourself from your ex, don't let him guilt you or play you into going back especially being all pregnant and hormonal.

:hugs:

hey,

thanks think its more help than advice, i know i definately wont be letting him weasle his way back in, the kids and i didnt go through the trouble of getting help to leave to have it go backwards.

i know i can go to my dad though am still worried about his reaction (and im 30 lol) i have close friends but not sure how they would react as i feel i have pushed them away - though not exactly sure how i have done this as i have been trying to contact them with no answer etc also in saying that they have 6mth olds of thier own and i know how busy life can be with even one bub.

have decided to do the rounds tomorrow and tell them.

oh and i havnt had an ultrasound yet but will be booking one in asap - i feel im bigger than 14wks as i didnt show this much when i had the other 3 - or its twins then i will really :freakingout: lol there are twins on both sides (and my youngest was a twin according to drs - i had a confirmed MC and was still pregnant plus they said with his condition it usually happens with twins though not always)

thinking about it i think i am excited but at the same time scared that i wont manage.

Don't have much advice but just want to send you some hugs.

It sucks your mum isn't supportive and you don't have a big support network. I think it would make it harder staying away from your ex without others to lean on, but you are right in thinking you cant go back. He will try, there'll be times you want to, but be strong. Your kids (and you) deserve a safe and happy home.

Good luck with everything

My advice to you would be to keep the baby and get away from that man. He's doing you no good or your children, if he's pestering you get a restraint order, don't let him boss you around. It's for your own good and the good of your kids.
It might be hard at first but in the long-run I think u will be so much happier.
