Feeling scared and alone

I know this May seem like I'm being ungrateful and selfish but I'm scared be although I'm happily married I feel so alone in these feelings. I have 4 beautiful child aged 14, 12, 7 and 19 months. I found out I was preggers with number 5, 8 weeks ago and had to tell my children as pregnancy knocks me for six in the first trimester, all day nausea and tiredness. I work part time and my dh full time. I'm scared, I don't even think I want another baby, I've got my scan on Wednesday and can't get excited. I won't tAlk about this baby at all and can't bring myself to think about it. I feel so depressed and alone as my dh and children are very excited and happy. I just don't know what to do. I've not told any family as what will they say, they thought we were mad having 3&4. I'm genuinely scared what family, friends and my work colleagues will think and say. I'm so down and he nausea isn't helping. I'm 12 weeks and 2 days pregnant but the thought fills me with dread. What is wrong with me, I'm crying as I type this as I can't think of anything but I'm letting so many people down and what if I can't cope. Any advice would be much appreciated xx

I don't think I can give you much advice as I only have 1 DC & he's now an adult, but I didn't want to read this & run.

You must not let what other people think bother you. It is none of their business & they are just rude to offer opinions as to the size of your family.

I would imagine you are feeling down as you've said early pregnancy makes you feel rough + all the raging hormones.

May I also say that you have posted this thread in a very 'out of the way' place on Mumsnet & you might find it useful to have it moved to Chat or one of the dedicated pregnancy threads where you will get far more replies. To do this press the report button at the top of your post & ask MNHQ to move it.

Sending you some Brew & Cake for now & hoping some wiser people with more experience come along soon.

PS You could also copy & paste your post & re-post it for your self -

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/larger_families Taht might be a good thread to re-post on.
