3rd Trimester

Im Confused

Hi there, Im in my 3rd Trimester, and due in a couple of months. I have an 11 year old and 8 year old. We were totally surprised by this baby, and I even took the morning after pill which didn't work.

I am really struggling emotionally with having this baby, I am trying to put on a happy face for my kids and husband, but as it gets closer, the more emotional I am getting, If I could I would give this baby up for adoption, but my family won't allow it. I love the kids I have and just really really am having a hard time with the thought of starting all over again. I know I sound selfish and horrible for those who aren't able to have kids,

Can anyone help me or give me some words of encouragement.

  • Obvious fake.  MUD

  • If this is real, I'm sorry for your situation and suggest you see a counselor ASAP.

    Otherwise, peddle your MUD elsewhere.

  • If this isn't just some stupid MUD, then all I can say is put on your big girl panties and deal.

    Some close friends of mine are going through the exact same situation...only with THREE previous kids. Number four was a total surprise (she had an IUD that came out and she took the morning after pill as a precaution). Even though it was a shock and a major financial blow they saw it for what it is...a blessing. You even said yourself that you know it sounds selfish because some people can't even have children of their own. Honestly, I'd say the baby would be better off being adopted (because obviously you don't want it). No child should ever feel like they were not wanted...even if it's true. I know you were taking precautions, and yes, I can't flame you for that. But what the hell do you want..a freaking gold star? Lots of people take "precautions" and end up with children. Suck it up and appreciate this miracle G-d has graciously given you. 

    Sorry but this post really strikes a nerve with me. I never felt like I was wanted by my own parents so hearing this kind of crap makes me want to pull my hair out. Thank G-d DH's parents always showed him love so he knows how you are supposed to treat your children. 

  • Wow so I have never posted anything on something like this before, this is not a joke or MUD as some have called it, I am really struggling right now and was just hoping that I could find someone who may be or have gone through something similar who could help me. Thanks for the kind friendly advice I got from some and the other advice was hard to hear, and Im sorry that you can't understand what Im going through. I will never post anything on this again especially when it comes to my feelings about this baby. All I really wanted was for someone to talk to and help me, not critisize me, or make me feel worse than I already feel about having these feelings, don't you think I want to pull up my panties as you have said and do the right thing here. It's hard when you aren't in the same situation I am, and have no idea what is going on in my life. Sorry I wasted your time.
