How can I find happiness this pregnancy?

This is my husbands and mines fifth and last child. We always wanted a big family and this baby was very much planned. From the moment I found out I was pregnant though I just felt sad. I had extreme morning sickness for 10 weeks and then got through that. Things were starting to look brighter and I started trying to feel connected to baby only to be told this week at 14 weeks I have complete placenta previa that may or may not resolve. So now I am terrified. I have never had a c section as all my other babies were natural birth center deliveries. I feel like I have no control over what is happening to me or this baby. I feel so disconnected from this pregnancy when people ask me about the pregnancy or baby I literally feel sick and hate talking about it. I’m just completely miserable at this point no matter how hard I try to pull out of it. How can I feel happier and less terrified and disconnected? I want this pregnancy to be my best yet since it’s the last time I get to do this.

Sorry you’re having such a tough time Flowers

I think you might find a chat with your midwife or GP would help. You might have antenatal depression, it can happen to anyone no matter how wanted her pregnancy was. It’s okay to ask for help and support.

You're ok, shush calm. Have you got someone right at this moment?

I have struggled with depression/anxiety in the past so I probably do have a touch of it now. Yes my husband is here and is so supportive. I feel bad dragging him through this with me since he is over the moon happy.
