My Girlfriend (28F) and I (26M) have been together for over a year and found out she was pregnant this past Wednesday. 5 weeks. She told me a few weeks ago that she had lost track of her ovulation cycle and we were at risk of pregnancy and that if that were to happen she would want to terminate the pregnancy as she isn’t ready yet. I told her we should probably talk more about it when we know for sure. We now know for sure and she immediately said she wanted to sign up for the pills to come by mail (she lives in Florida) and terminate the pregnancy and I told her I’d support her no matter what. The wait for the medication to arrive has been the hardest part. We’ve been using all the time to talk so much about the guilt/regret we might feel afterwards. We agree that the feeling may dissipate when we are ready to start our family and succeed with a planned pregnancy but I’m beginning to wonder if that’s true. I feel guilty because I want it to be over so we don’t have to weigh the decision anymore but feel like a coward for even feeling that way. Any advice on how to navigate these feelings during the wait for the medication and advice for the grief/regret that may come after? I’ve been ready so many posts on this sub since this became a reality and your support for one another, and clear direction and perspective of your experienced have helped me realize how normal this is, but I need help not feeling guilty.
