Antenatal/postnatal depression
Anxiety about being pregnant

Hi, just joined here. I'm 26 and have a 6yr old and a 2yr old. My partner desperately wanted another child, I was never 100% but then grew to the idea so I came off the pill and totally shocked to be pregnant within 3wks. I'm now feeling really unhappy, I feel like I now want a career and to earn better money for the family! I go from feeling excited to completely not wanting to be pregnant! I'm suddenly thinking I am happy with my life my boys are my world so why change it and have more, how will we cope etc... And everything my partner does is irritating me which I can't seem to contain either! Sorry I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice? Or in the same situation! Thank you x

If you thought that babies were all done with no wonder you feel so confused. I had prenatal depression and hated my second pregnancy (when I acknowledged I was even pg)
Could it just be the shock of it happening so quickly?
