5 weeks 4 days pregnant, abortion pills are in the mail. I have a question

Has anybody here changed their mind once the pills arrive through the post? I thought maybe seeing them in person makes it all real and perhaps I won’t want to go ahead with it?

Right now, getting a termination feels right but I was wondering if my mind could change once I’m holding the pills in my hand?

Im about 4 weeks pregnant.
today was the cherry on top and I shan’t say what somebody said to me (I don’t think I can on here) but it was so so hurtful. I had my first at 19, I’ve always looked much younger than my age and people judge me for it heavily.

This would be my third child at 24, unplanned and completely unexpected this time round. I was happy with 2 kids and I wasn’t planning on having any more.
Maybe it’s just hormones… but I can’t get termination out of my mind. I’m already treated horribly for having 2 children so how will I be treated if I had another?

Am I a bad person for considering abortion for this reason? Ive been made to feel unworthy of having kids.

I have a 3 year old girl and a 1 year old boy, turning 4 and 2 this year. I just found out I was pregnant again. It was a shock because it happened so fast, the others took quite some time to conceive. I am happy having 2 kids because me and my partner aren’t outnumbered, I still get one-on-one time with both my kids, and I have one of each sex so I didn’t want any more children. I feel like I will struggle to give the attention they need. Financially, whilst no.3 was really young, we would be fine. But once they start eating more and going to school, extracurricular activities, Xmas, birthdays, holidays etc … we are going to really struggle and my daughter and son won’t be getting near the amount they get now. They have enough toys, clothes etc but splitting it even further with a 3rd?! I think that’s my tipping point. I was thinking of prioritising myself, going to the gym and improving my education as my MH has been bad at times. Another child is the last thing we need and want right now.

Anybody else in the same situation or something similar? I am on the fence about this pregnancy.
