I feel panicky whenever I think about having a second child

Dear all,
changed my nickname for this one...
On current plan, I'd be getting pregnant again in about a years time. Had a miniscare this week, and felt TOTALLY panicky. This would be a bad time for work etc, but more than that the thought of having another child at all got me reall scared. I had PND last time, coped, survived, now quite enjoy ds(2). DH definitely wants another. I can see all the arguments for (except financially...) but burst into tears whenever I think about it. Does this mean I should put my foot down and stick with one? Or is this normal? Will it be OK if I do have another? If I got pregnant tomorrow should I have an abortion?? (Please don't anyone comment moralistically on that last comment - I know, I know, but lets not go there, this is just how bad I'm feeling). Nearly crying just writing this - hoping this is just normal?...

Thanks everyone for your words of reassurance and support. I will cope. I will. And I will look back at this thread one day and think - how could I ever have felt that way about my boy???
