Anyone else dislike being a mum

Hi guys. I’m not enjoying being a mum, I’m pregnant with my 2nd child and don’t particularly want it. Is there anyone else like this? All I ever hear is oh I love being a mum I love my child blah blah. I miss my life before having kids and our son makes both my husband and I feel like shit cos of the lack of sleep etc. I’m fed up and accidentally got pregnant again and looking up about getting an abortion (which I probably won’t do because the baby doesn’t deserve that and I don’t agree with abortions)

I agree with Lauren's post. Both talk to your GP about about general mental and/or even self refer to Mind.

If child number 1 is under 1, both you and your husband would get priority in terms of support. As you are pregnant, you may also get bumped up the list.

After my first child I had a bit of post natal depression, Perinatal mental health team and mind helped xx.
