Hey all just need a bit of advice really I don't know if I have it or it's just the hormones but I'm really struggling to come to terms that I'm going to have another baby I feel so bad for even thinking it because I was over the moon to have my 2 boys and excited all the way through, I only found out a wk 1/2 ago Is it normal to feel like this with an accident? Iv been looking through pics of my boys when they were newborn and all I want to do is look away I keep telling myself them moments were the best thing ever and trying to recindle that love and feeling I had when I had them but all I feel is hate towards the poor thing and I shouldn't it didn't ask to be put their and I should thank my lucky stars I'm luky enough to have kids I don't think it's helped as iv been so Ill since finding out and completely fed up of it and it's reflecting on my emotions I just don't know what to think anymore I'm completely dreading my scan on Wednesday I don't even know why maybe because it means it's more real, iv had good thoughts about it to but today is a really low day is their a Chance I'm going to fall straight down the track of depression or is it normal with an accidental pregnancy?

Didn't want to read and run, so just wanted to say I'm really sorry you're feeling so low. It has only been half a week though, and you are probably still really shocked. Just because you are feeling like this now doesn't mean you will definitely get depression later... being so ill is bound to affect anyone's mood, plus you have your boys to look after as well.
Did you have problems with depression before falling pregnant? Do you have a DH/DP to talk to about this/any help from family or friends?
If anything, having some insight means you will be able to get help from the GP sooner if you keep feeling like this.
I have had an unexpected pregnancy, and it took a while to really accept that there was a baby growing inside me that I didn't officially mean to 'put' there, if that makes sense. The real happiness didn't come until later.
See how you feel after the scan, when you've seen your LO. He/She will be just as loved as your DSs are now. All the best and congratulations.
