Please before you come at me I completely and utterly grateful I can become and carry a child. But I am feeling a sense of sadness & regret. I am coming up to 12 weeks pregnant already had a scan and seen baby. & in that split second my heart feels with so much love and happiness but when I’m back to reality of being a mum to my 4 beautiful wonderful children I’m like I can’t do this. It’s taken a toll on me I suffer with anxiety and overthinking anyway. But I left a toxic relationship with my 4 children’s father & i met my now amazing partner who I have known since childhood. & we are pregnant. It’s his first child & I also feel guilty for feeling this way & telling him about it. It should be a magical time for him & me but it’s just not, I suffered bad postnatal depression after my last baby. Which led to meds and therapy it was a really rough sad time in my life that I try and block out. As well as lack of support from their father & mental abuse.
im no longer in that relationship or mindset anymore but a shadow of what if having this baby throws you off & you don’t come back from it is in my head every single day! :(

Firstly, congratulations.
secondly, It's OK to feel like this. It's good you recognise and acknowledge that you're struggling. Do you have anyone you can talk to - family and friends? Or maybe even your GP?

Is there any possibility you can sit down and talk with your partner, tell him exactly what you told us? Remember, he's not your abusive ex, he's someone you love and who loves you and he should know what's happening so he can support you in any way he can.
