[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I would a) go and see a therapist and b) wait until the end of your first trimester before terminating. I felt this exact way for the pregnancies of my second and now third. I actually called the OB around week 7 of my 3rd pregnancy (I am now 22 weeks) and asked what my options were because I felt enormously regretful, scared and dreading the birth. This is a planned pregnancy, and as soon as I found out I was pregnant, it was like I completely switched and didn't want the baby AT ALL. Right at the end of the first trimester, just like with my second pregnancy, it was like a switch flipped and I felt better. I am now super excited about the baby and excited to have 3 kids, and I NEVER would have thought I could say that based on how I felt those first several weeks. Try not to feel guilty. It is the hormones. Find someone safe you can talk to - tell your OB - tell a close friend - anyone you can in order to air the feelings out. You are not alone or unusual and I swear, i tell everyone about this type of thing because no one talks about it, and  I think it's more common than we know.[/quote]
