SUBJECT: 5 MONTH OLD AND PREGNANT AGAIN!
I have a beautiful 5 month old daughter nbamed Savannah. However, my husband and I just found out last week that we're having another baby. We are always careful but twice the condom broke, and now here we are. He never talks about the situationa nd if I ask about it he always jokingly changes the subject. We are going to have to talk about it eventually. The thing I am most terrified of is telling our friends and family. I feel so guilty too. I feel like I am taking attention and "baby time" away from my daughter. I wasn't ready to get all fat and amotional again and now I have no choice. I could never adopt out or abort, leaving me with having another baby. I can't stop thinking about how hard it will be to raise a 14 month old and newborn simultaneously. Has anyone else ever been in this situation? I have also read its unhealthy for me to be having another baby so soon, and that my pregnancy will have to be monitored closely. Is this so? Plus, to top it all off, my dr who delivered my daughter is nowhere to be found. She had probs with her office landlord and moved her office to nowhere. Her home number isnt listed. There's no forwarding number from her office. She stopped delivering at the hospital she delivers at and they say they have no info on her. What am I going to do? She was perfect when delivering my daughter. I had noe nema, episiotomy, nothing. It went so smoothly and I just loved her. This is such a mess. How can I stop feeling guilty about any excitement for my new child?-Danielle
