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

Your parents would be happy to know that you’re having a child. The child didn’t come easy for both of you, so do Consider well before making any decisions about he or she. Life will not be easy taking care of a young one but any mum if you interview them, will say it is rewarding on hindsight. Now because you’re in the thick of your own challenges and struggle, that’s all that you can see in front of you. Please get support from social services, go for counseling if needed as they can watch out for you emotionally and financially too if you qualify for certain subsidy schemes. Take good care and reach out whenever you need a listening ear!
