We don't want the same thing *trigger warning*

[MooseBreath]

DH and I currently have one DS, 21 months. I would love to have another child, but DH had horrendous depression (suicidal) after DS was born because of the change in situation. While DH's mental health is more under control now with a lot of medication, he does not want another child for this reason. I have been on the pill since DS was 3 months old. Thing is... I'm pregnant despite having dutifully taken the pill.

DH wants me to have an abortion. He thinks another child will push him over the edge. And I completely see where he is coming from. It was terrifying seeing DH as he was and I don't want him to have to go through that again.

But I don't want an abortion. I want this baby. What do I do?

Just updating in case anyone was interested.

I have decided to continue the pregnancy, as I think my mental health would severely suffer if I didn't. DH is worried but being as supportive as he can be, given the circumstances. A re-referral to DH'S psychiatrist is in the works.

Thank you all for your help. It is very much appreciated.

Thank you for the update @MooseBreath. I wish you both health and strength for the future.❤
