I've had a really hard year. I was sterilised 2 years ago and it failed within a year, but I had a gorgeous little boy in January. The problem was, he was my 6th and 4 of the others are autistic. My husband and I have been through a really bad patch - he was having internet affairs and downloading porn obsessively. Because of my children's problems getting worse, I've had to give up my degree - I was in my last year and I was doing really well. Anyway, the children have to take priority, so that's not so bad. The problem is that a few weeks ago I was really low about my degree and ended up having unprotected sex with my husband and now I'm pregnant again. There is so much prejudice against large families.
We're financially stable and have a very large house but I feel so upset with my husband because I still feel really low and insecure. We are committed Christians and are happy to welcome another child but I am sad and I think he resents me saying so. (Actually I feel better for writing it down!). I'm also dreading my friends reactions who've seen me through this patch with my husband. I'm delighted about the baby but a bit embarrassed in some respects. I know I'm incredibly lucky in most areas of my life but I could just use some (kindly) direction. We've just had an almighty row and now I feel rotten. Please help if you can.
