Depressed and full of regrets?

I am 28F and both my parents passed away not too long ago. Actually my mom had passed just early this year. I am currently at 16W and I haven't been eating right nor on time. I have to take care of the house and my brothers (have mental issues) and work shifts (day & night). My husband is also busy w work as well. I am having regrets about bringing another being into my life because I really don't want my baby to suffer. I miss my parents every day and it hurts that I practically have no one to depend on. I'm a frontline worker so work hasn't been forgiving either. Initially when I found out I was pregnant, I didn't want to keep because of my lifestyle and work. My husband and I didn't plan for this and it just happened. We don't use contraceptives because he has fertility issues and this whole pregnancy thing came as a big surprise. Any moms here feels similar way? Any moms here end up keeping the baby despite your circumstances? #pleasehelp #firstbaby #1stimemom

I'm sorry that you've to go thru this and I'm in no position to give any sound advice but I always feel that baby is a gift and moreover, it still happened even when your husband has fertility issues. it seems like the baby is destined to come into your life and it could be a blessing! just imagine how much joy and happiness that the baby would give you when they are finally out to see the world. the baby will not suffer if you don't let it happen, right? it can all be avoided because it's a choice to stay happy and be positive. also, there are many aids/assistance available from the govt, you could always go to them for any help if needed. I hope you can tide thru this!! all the best and take care of yourself! :)
