Not really an AIBU but posted here for traffic.

I have 2 DDs aged 10 & 7. Shortly after DD2 was born DH & I decided we didn't want anymore DC so DH had a vasectomy.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, I started getting a bit of breast tenderness but thought no more about it. This was followed by a bit of cramping so I thought it was just my period starting. I'm now 4 days late with my period so, on my way to work this morning I bought a pg test and poas in the toilets in work. It was positive Shock!!!

I won't see DH until about 7.30 tonight and tbh I'm having a really hard time coming to terms with this. I'm sat at my desk shaking & trying not to cry.

I have so many doubts about another pregnancy but don't know if I could bring myself to have a termination. Am I too old (I'm 42), will the age gap be too big, can we afford another baby, will I be able to cope (I suffer with anxiety & MH issues), do I want to go through the baby stage again, will I be able to continue with my anxiety medication during the pregnancy, what if there's something wrong with the baby... Aaaarggh.

Sad

Thanks everyone. DH is, as expected being very supportive but I still feel like shit. As I said, I suffer with anxiety anyway and I've had quite a bit to deal with this year already so this is just about tipping me over the edge. Feeling drained so off to bed now. Hope I can get some sleep

Glad duh is being supportive, regardless of what happens he needs his bits. Being redone.

It's very early so you have time to make a choice.
