Hiding pregnancy, happily married, I am a terrible person.

I'm ready for the backlash about how I should have told DH and how its wrong, but I hope you may see some sense in what I have done. I found out I was pregnant three months ago, we have a 15 month old daughter and are just getting by, but not well off financially. I have also suffered severe PND which I hope I am coming out of.
I am now 22 weeks and about to have my scan, I have had my nuchal fold scan and blood tests, but not mentioned them to DH. DH does not know I am pregnant yet because I know he would have insisted on a termination which I just cannot go through with. I'm now starting to show and I know the deception has to end, but how can I do it?
Writing this out I cannot believe I have done this, I am in an honest and good relationship but I just know how DH would have reacted and couldn't deal with the pressure to assert what I want. Am I bad that I have now left it too late that we cannot talk it over and have I been a cow to essentialy force him into this?

Oh, have only just seen this thread and am so happy for you! Bless your dh, how lovely of him to suspect but not say anything because he suspected you weren't ready.

Don't blame yourself, think it was the PND that made you act so oddly and have these thoughts. Hope you get better support from health professionals in future.

Ditto edam.
He must be a pretty special bloke to give you the space to tell him in your own time.
Your happy ending has made my day! I was so worried for you all.
Wishing you all the best for the rest of your pregnancy and life as a family of four!
