Depression

I am currently 8 weeks pregnant with me SIXTH child...(I was on the pill for four years, took a round of antibiotics around the first of March that apparently interfered with my pills)...on top of being hospitalized twice with morning sickness, every bad thing possible with my husband, the other kids and their thousand activities, and work...I just stay in tears.  I try to see it as a blessing, but I always end up thinking I didn't want this.  I havent told anyone yet ...I don't want to here all the negativity so I have no one to talk to...idk what to do, or how to do it

I'm 32 and also pregnant with my 6th child. On top of finding out my mom had just passed away a week before. I was so sad my husband was really happy and joyful I wanted to kill him. But now I'm 15 weeks pregnant and am only OK. It does get better. Good job at not going through with the abortion. I'm proud of you

I know exactly how you feel. I have a 6 year old and a 20 month old. I'm pregnant with my third. My husband and I were apart for 2 &1/2 years for personal reasons. During that time, things changed so much and there was a lot of fighting due to trust issues and the distance between us. I couldn't travel to see him often due to work and then due to being pregnant with our son and health issues due to the pregnancy. I had to quit my job while pregnant with our son and I was forced to live on the savings we had. When my husband finally came back, we were always fighting as well and since I had been raising the kids my way for the time he was gone it was hard for me to see how he talked to them and the things he did with them and how he "spoil" them. He has never been mean towards them, but like I wouldn't give the kids chips just because and he does. If the he kids want whatever for breakfast is fine, he gives it to them even if it's not a breakfast item. To make the story short, I got pregnant withing 2 months after he came back and since things were so bad between us, all I could think about was not wanting the baby. I felt like my marriage was over and also like my life was over with me being pregnant again, how was I going to take care of 3 kids all by myself. It was awful, I had never felt like that. Well, I am happy to say that things got better, we moved into our own little place now since we were staying with my parents while my husband was gone and still when he came back. We are both really working things out. Things have changed and still are changing for the better. I am now happy and excited being pregnant again and can't wait for our third child being here with us completing our little family. With time and patience things do get better if you really want something. Keep your head up, no matter what other people say. God bless both of you!

Thank you so much.  I really needed to hear this.  I scheduled an abortion but knew I could never go through with it.

Don't feel bad. I'm 34 going on my 8th baby. I was just separated from my husband and was going back and fourth about going back to him, i had a bf i was dating and i was still seeing my husband. I ended up pregnant and i thought just like you, wth am i going to do. I don't want this baby to complicate my life anymore than what it is and i was MISERABLE for the first 2 trimesters. I actually went to the abortion clinic and parked. All.i had to do was get out.of the car and walk in. And i am so against abortion for convenience. I thought and thought and drove away. My now ex husband has moved on I have made things official with my bf now fiance, but i have SOO many other issues its ridiculous. This has been the most depressing stressful pregnancy. But you know what, I don't regret it AT ALL. I am so excited now. And i heard the comments and judging and even.from my mom the opinions. But its YOUR BABY. Its such a blessing you need to realize that you are not a bad person because you have a lot of kids. It took.me years to figure that out. You are an exceptional person because no one can handle what we moms of so many kids do.. Only you know how important it is to keep your family going and what only you knkw what it takes to keep order and peace. Don't be sad. Its gna take some getting used to. Talk to your kids and when you do be enthusiastic about it. Be happy and remember God doesn't give you what you can't handle. He believed you are one of.the few of us moms who has such a huge load to bring another baby in this world because you're obviously doing a great job raising the other babies. Have faith and don't be sad plz. If you ever need to talk message me. God bless you and I hope I helped you a little.
