[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am so grateful to you who responded with encouraging words, similar stories, and good advice. I'm so torn up about this. My oldest asked me tonight why my face is so swollen (from crying). I have made an appointment with a prenatal psychiatrist and will see a therapist. I have tremendous guilt ... like I am not feeling the motherly or protector role with this little one (saw heartbeat today at 7 weeks) that I feel with my three other children. I wish I could envision getting thru the pregnancy the birth and the newborn stage, but I feel so paralyzed with fear at this movement I am unsure how to even get through the week... and I feel terribly guilty that I'm being so absent-minded to my children right now and stuck in my own head.

I just want to say I'm sorry OP.  Whether you terminate or not, I know how awful anxiety is and am sorry you're going through this.

FWIW, whatever happens, none of this means you're a terrible parent.

Hang in there.[/quote]
