Postpartum Depression

unsure feelings?

when i found out i was pregnant so many things were running through my mind. Im already a mother of 2 small children (4 & 1). The main thought in my head was " am i going to be able to handle 2 kids plus a baby". Im a single mother from my first 2. I am engaged to be married but my fiance is in the military so i know i will be alone for this one some of the time. Now whats troubling me is whats going on with me. Im not happy about this baby i know how bad that sounds but i cant help the way i feel. I never felt this way about my other 2 kids. thats whats really scaring me. I dont have thoughts of hurting my baby but im like really stressed on how im feeling. Is it post partartum depression?

Re: unsure feelings?

  • Have you talked to your OB about your feelings? I am sure the nervousness is normal considering your circumstances. I would have to say that if I became pregnant again right after LO I would freak out. I would be happy to be pregnant again but at the some time so scared about taking care of two little ones when I feel so stressed about this one alone! Anyway, talk to your OB about your feelings.  I am sure they will be supportive and figure out a solution to help ease the stress.
