I’ve been in a loving relationship with Mark for the past five years. For the first three years of our relationship, I got pregnant three times. We had dreams to chase, careers to build, and a life to live. Also, we didn’t have the resources to cater for a child, so each time it happened, we had to make the hard choice of letting it go. Currently, we’ve been together for five years, but there’s a catch.

As time passed, I started noticing changes in my body as a result of the excessive intake of pills. I needed to take those pills because I didn’t want to accidentally get pregnant. After letting the last pregnancy go, I realized a lot had changed inside my body. I had sleepless nights and also found I couldn’t get pregnant again. I felt burdened by everything that had happened. I was scared I wouldn’t be able to get pregnant again.
Just last week, I found out I was five weeks pregnant. The news brought me many feelings—happiness, fear, hope, and worry. Mark is extremely happy about this and wants us to have this baby, hoping that by the end of the year, we will settle down.
At the same time, I also got a great job offer from a well-known company with a much higher salary than what I earn now. This company is set to start operations in the first quarter of 2026. This job could help me take care of my mother and younger brother, who depend on me heavily.
Here’s my confusion…
Keeping this pregnancy might mean that I could lose the job because I am not sure a company starting operations would like to have a pregnant woman on board. They will likely prefer someone who is vibrant and energetic to push for the achievement of goals. Secondly, I am worried about what people might say if they find out I am pregnant out of wedlock.
What do I do now? I want this job so much that I am thinking of letting this pregnancy go, too. On the other hand, I’m worried about what people will say. I’m thirty-two years old. Please advise me.

Please find an article here and read. Maybe you will be able to make a choice. Its title is, “after six abortions, she is a lonely old woman” or something related to that!
You are just lucky that God keeps blessing you with those Babies. Go on and let it go. Remember you are 32 and have said in your story that you realized you couldn’t conceive again but this one came!
I mean, “After six pregnancies, she a childless lonely woman” read it and take a decision
You don’t need any advice. One day the man will go behind you and look for someone who can give him children.
What is the guarantee the company will hire you even if you aren’t pregnant? Like you said you find it difficult to conceive. This alone is a blessing. Stop the excuses so that you will stop murdering innocent babies. Like the other comments said read on the story of the lonely old woman. Keep the pregnancy and face the world because the world will still judge you regardless. It doesn’t care about you so please love and care for this pregnancy. Not every one gets a second chance like this.
These frequent killings of unborn babies by so called career oriented people must stop. I don’t care about your ambition or anything. If only your mom had aborted you…
All lives matter
You want to terminate a pregnancy because of a new company, a company you don’t know if it’ll grow or fail, a company that may retrench, a company with an uncertain future.
