If this triggers someone I am sooo sorry, I just need someone to talk to who isn't my family.
I am 20 weeks pregnant with my second, and I hate myself for getting pregnant again.
We were trying and at first were happy, but then I started throwing up again (nowhere near as much as last time) and my partner suggested maybe we should abort because he was worried about my nearly two year old and my mental health.
I decided not to after a couple of weeks of thinking about it and I think I made a mistake. I'm terrified that I am feeling movement and don't care and that I won't love them when they come out. Sometimes I have thoughts like "I hope my daughter jumps on me hard enough that it dies", we were moving and I was lifting the heaviest boxes, that I normally wouldn't even try and I've only recently realised I was trying to miscarry.
The thing is my partner and family all know and are extremely excited, if I try to get an abortion now I'd be seen as a monster, and I fear I would see myself as one and would want to hurt myself more than I already do sometimes.
I am waiting for an appointment with a therapist.
Has anyone felt like this, kept the baby and felt love afterwards?
