"How could I cope with two if I couldn’t mentally or financially cope with one?"

This story is published at Shout Your Abortion.

I already had a son. I suffered with PostNatal Depression for a while.

I was on contraception and we were just about financially managing to send him to nursery and get the bills paid. He was 10 months and an awful sleeper. I love him but he’s hard work!

There’s not much help for parents with under 5s in the UK. If I gave up work, we wouldn’t get the bills paid or food on the table. I want the best life for my child.

I found out I was pregnant. I went for a termination. I found it was twins. How could I cope with two if I couldn’t mentally or financially cope with one?
