Pregnancy regret

[Isthisoneoknow]

Currently nearly 16 weeks with DC2. There will be a 15 month age gap between DC1 and DC2 (assuming everything goes OK).

I’m really struggling and regret trying again to fall pregnant. I had a miscarriage back in August at 9 weeks but fell pregnant again straight away.

It’s ruined work plans, I have no money and my relationship between me and DH feels strained. I feel so stressed and anxious and have convinced myself there is something wrong with the baby. Im dreading telling work I’m pregnant again. I had to cancel my midwife appointment yesterday as I had no time to go to it.

I feel so lonely and sad.

This was a much wanted baby so why am I so full of regret.

I feel the same. I am 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant, really wanted this baby with my partner more than anything, and now it is a real thing I am ridden with regret the more it progresses. Also low on money with a questionable relationship.

Although unfortunately I don't have a complete answer to help you, being new and in the same boat myself, I thought I could at least support you and let you know you're not alone. It's a huge thing and it's super scary! Sometimes it helps me, to think that I just have to take this in stride. The baby is around, I'm not one for abortion, so I need to pick myself up and really think positively about it. That this child could be the best thing to ever happen to me, that somehow I will make it through it all. I'm also going to arrange seeing my old counselor again, maybe it would help you too, I find having somebody to vent my troubles and worries to really resets me and gives me a clearer head of it all and it's really helpful. Even if it's just a really good friend.

I hope this helps you. At least to know you're not alone. I pray everything goes smoothly for you and you find so much happiness in this baby.
