Am really struggling with this one. At this stage of my first pregnancy I couldn't wait for my DD to be born. But this time round, twins (or three children in all) is just NOT what I want.
It's sooooo important to me that I can give my DD all the love, support, and attention in the world to see her through her entire childhood. Now that is just not going to happen. I am wishing that we hadn't tried for a second child (who is turning out to be a second and THIRD child). I never ever ever once in my life wanted to have three children.
And it's just not fair on the twins that they will be compromised too. I fear that I'll be spread far too thinly to be the Mother I want to be. I'll just have too many children.
I feel so sad for my first born. And I feel so sad for the twins that I don't feel that overwhelming joy I had when I was pregnant the first time around. I feel them moving and kicking, and I smile but I really wish this was one baby and not two.
I spoke to a Perinatal Counsellor about all this and she had very little to say that was in anyway helpful. Not sure what to do know but can't get past this.
