Hi everyone,
I'm really struggling with the thought of having to cope with another child. I understand how horrible that sounds but i'm unsure how else to put it. I'm 9+3 and I've know i'm pregnant for just over 5 weeks and I just darn't think/talk about it. I do suffer with depression and I have a life long illness (which the baby has a 50/50 chance of having :'( ) I have 2 children already and a step child that lives with us full time and doesn't have contact with the other side of his family. I just feel so tired and i just can't see how i'm going to cope on my own (dh works away) I'm so so worried about everybody else's opinions and what they are going to say. I feel like such an idiot but I can't keep pretending this isn't happening. I'm so scared of losing the people I have left in my life. I understand this isn't the baby's fault which is why I just couldn't abort, thats just against what I believe. I really want to be happy, I just don't know how and I'm so scared of letting everyone down including this baby. How will I cope? This sounds ridiculous coming from a 28yr old married woman with a job/house/car etc
thanks

OP you are not alone in thinking how will l cope and I've only got one! I think it's the hormones. I remember feeling a bit flat when pregnant with dd when l started having to go to bed at 8pm in summer because l was so tired!

You want let your baby down Flowers
