Is it normal for me to be depressed, anxious and not excited about my partner being pregnant?

[Nathan1991]

So my partner is 12 weeks pregnant and I actually feel depressed, anxious and not excited about it to the point it’s making me not want it. Is this normal? She got caught pregnant while on the pill

I have 2 kids already with a previous partner and I already suffer with bad depression and anxiety.

I know this sounds horrible from my end but I really don’t mean it horrible at all. I just wanna know if this is normal because it’s really messing with my head and I feel like I’m going to have a mental breakdown over it 😔

I just wanted to comment as someone whose husband suffers with depression. I love my husband very much and we are a team. I would always much rather he talked to me about how he's feeling, even if that was upsetting to me. Because we're a team, and I want to be able to support him. I'm sure your partner feels the same way.

However, also I think it's very normal to be anxious - my baby was planned for and I still spent much of the pregnancy wondering at intervals what have I done?!

Perfectly normal reactions to an unexpected pregnancy.

However if you don’t want more children then you need to take responsibility for contraception and not rely on someone else when the consequences can be enormous as you are finding out.

Just found your post. How did things turn out Nathan?
