It’s okay to change your mind

We planned to have a baby in a couple of years but my partner begged to start trying now. He promised he’d be by my side and we’d raise our our baby together. I thought why not if we were going to have one together anyway. When I instantly fell pregnant, it all changed. All of a sudden, it wasn’t the right timing and I’d be raising our child on my own. He was hinting abortion without wanting to be the “responsible” for that decision. I’ve always been pro-choice for everyone else but pro-life for myself. I took the precautions not to get pregnant unless it was planned. I cried at the thought of termination but realised it’s okay to change your mind, even if it’s planned. Things change. People change. And situations changed. If I couldn’t depend on my partner then how could our future child? I’ve decided to own my decision, my choice and my body.
