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

So sorry to hear that you had so much to bear on your shoulders during your pregnancy, but pls remember that you are not alone. There are plenty of helplines and organisations to turn to, have a talk about it and get it off your chest. Apply for financial assistance or subsidy if need be. You may not feel the joy yet now, but once the baby is here your heart will be filled with joy. Moreover your husband has fertility issues, yet this miracle happen. There are others out there who had went through a lot just to conceive a child. As long as there’s food and shelter provided, a child will not feel that they are suffering. A child’s biggest luxury is their parents love. Have a smooth and safe pregnancy, try to think positively, and this too shall pass. Parenting journey can be tiring, but at the same time it’s also fulfilling and rewarding. Stay strong and tough mummy! Hugs to you.
