Pregnant and not happy
I've just found out this morning tha I'm pregnant and my initial reaction was to burst in to tears and horror. I do not want another baby. I have a 3 year old and my DD has just turned 1. I am content with my life as it is. i've told my DH, and while I thought he would "tell" me I'm having the baby, he considered my feelings and we'll be talking about it tonight.
I'm about 6 weeks? What happens with a termination? Am I still at the stage where they give me a pill to take?

I just wanted to add that I had depression during my pregnancy with my 3rd child and was put on Zoloft, which helped tremendously. I'm not an advocate for traditional medications, I normally won't even take a tylenol for a headache. But I would start crying for no reason... Zoloft, as my doctor put it, was safe to take during pregnancy and while nursing. Good luck with everything. ♥
I read all these posts and just felt I had to comment. I had an abortion at 18 (I am now 50) and I have never, ever forgotten it. I have forgiven myself for having one, but I didn't forget. I have since had 5 wonderful children, 2 miscarriages, so I have been through alot. It was definitely your decision to make and a very tough one too. I would think that you will be able to find help for your PPD - just make sure your doctor is aware of that. I wish you all the best and I hope that you will find much joy in this child. Take care.
Thank you.
I've made my appointment with the midwife - next Friday. And I saw my GP today and spoke about my worries and concerns regarding depression before and after the birth. He's suggested that I speak to a professional and was really supportive. It may prevent any PND and if he doesn't he said he will be on standby to help me immediately if I need it. So I'm feeling so much more happier and hopeful. Even bought my first maternity top yesterday and got quite excited! I'll keep you all posted and have to say again at how touched and thankful for all of yoiur support.
