[quote=Anonymous]Since I found out I was pregnant with my 4th, I've been riddled with anxiety and depression and insomnia and I feel almost paralyzed with the fear of unknowns. I've had three previous pregnancies where I didn't suffer from any of this. I'm so confused by my feelings but I know I am everything but excited. I spoke with a prenatal psychiatrist today who said it very well may be my hormones and perhaps I need medication, but I'm to the point where I feel my head is in another place when I'm with my three healthy children whom I adore. I don't want to get scortched here but I'm contemplating terminating this pregnancy -- IVe thought through this so much and never ever expected I'd feel this way, but I feel like I'm not in any mental shape to carry this pregnancy through and I worry about the effect on my three kids, and loving husband. I feel like the worlds most terriable mother and so guilty, but I can't seem to control these feelings. I'm really just wondering if anyone else has been through something similar. I don't know where to go from here. [/quote]
