Feeling trapped

I am currently 16 weeks pregnant with 2nd baby. Ds is 3. Dh did not want any more children and after ds was such a difficult baby I too did not want any more. Then a year ago I decided I did want a second child and I spent 6 months trying to persuade dh. He finally agreed and we started ttc but after 2 months I decided that my work was too full on and a baby was off the cards. Then found myself pregnant by accident . The last 3 months have been shit. I am tired and queasy, my bp is low .I can't work full time, my training is suffering and this will go on for the next 4 months due to the physical nature of my job . Then I have 6 months of a screaming baby and sleepless nights to look forward to before going back to work and attempting to combine a stressful career with sleepless nights and a weekend with 5 am wakes and monotonous days of building towers.
What the fuck have I done? Dh has taken ds out to give me a break and I have eaten a large bar of chocolate and still feel miserable.

Hi, no words of wisdom unfortunately but just wanted to say I understand a bit about how you're feeling. Am 28 weeks into an extremely unplanned second pregnancy and scared stiff about coping with it all. Sending hugs & more chocolate x

I'll take it a termination is off the cards? If so then sending massive sympathy and flowers your way (well virtual)

Good luck

No a termination is not for me unless there was something really wrong medically. I would probably be really sad at the same time if I were to miscarry. This was a wanted baby for a long time I had just forgotten how crap pregnancy is.
I have just had a long sleep thanks to dh taking ds to the cinema and I feel much better. Thanks both for the sympathy and flowers. I am hoping that the 20 week will help me feel a bit more joyful.

Please remember babies are people, and all people can be quite different
