Depression

[littlehelp]

Hello just found out I am pregnant today and my feelings are very mixed.
I currently take antidepressants and I can’t help feeling I don’t want to have another child or that I will cope well at all with a baby.

My husband works a lot and so do I plus all the child caring school runs house work etc

I’m mid 30’s and I feel selfish for saying it’s my time

I’m not looking for any negative comments I’m just a little lost

You've literally just found out......don't be hard on yourself......

When do you think you'll tell your DH? X

Hello... I could have written this post.. found out I was pregnant with my 3rd child and it’s spiralled me into such depressive thoughts.. I don’t know how and if I will cope.

You have options though.. if you don’t want to do it, don’t..

Although I know it’s not that easy..

@Lemonnhoney thank you I have 4 already and this wasn’t planned

@itsme1978 thank you I guess your right

@Lemonnhoney how do you feel now you have 3

@littlehelp how are you feeling this morning....? X

@itsme1978 hello thank you for asking I’m not as overwhelmed but still trying to decide what is best for everyone it’s so hard!! X

Have you told anyone in real life? X

I found out I was pregnant with #3 after swearing blind I could never go through with another pregnancy. Birth #2 was very traumatic and left me with PND and PTSD, that baby is only just 2 now.

When I found out about this one I panicked and booked a consultation to terminate. Long story short I changed my mind and I'm now 18 weeks.

Feeling alot more positive about things now but do still have wobbles about whether I'll cope. That being said, I'm glad I kept him.

Good luck with whatever you choose OP. It's entirely your decision.

@itsme1978 yes only my husband knows he is fine from a large family himself

@Hannah941 that’s really reassuring I don’t think I can terminate as I’ll be kicking myself.

I’m sure I’ll adjust and will be a happy part of the family
