pregnancy can definately make women a little depressed.
your sister is not alone, when my son was around 3 months old i found out i was pregnant again i went through all kinds of deression and i was saying the exact same things as your sister i was also saying i hated this baby!!!!!
i now have a 13 month old and a 6 week old, i love them both to death and i still take it quite hard sometimes.
your sister is definately going to be busy with her 2 babies,
she is probably shocked that she is pregnant again so soon this was probably not a planned pregnancy like mine.
i cried at the DR's when i found out i contemplated abortion too!
if your sister decides to keep the baby which i hope she does, offer to help a bit if times get rough like maybe tak eher eldest baby for a couple of hours so she can bond with her new baby or even stay with her and look after both so she can get some rest!
i am 24 in a defacto relationship and have 2 babies, my fiance helps alot but sometimes his parents take the boys for the night and it really helps me catch up on rest and also have some quiet time with my fiance.....
your sister is really taking it tough just let her know you are there for let her know she can do it! and offer to help even if she is like me and doesnt like to admit she needs help she will appreciate it !!!
she can always talk to me if she wants:

Sounds like she is really stressed out with the 5 month old baby, her body is not really healed yet from the last pregancy, and her hormones are all out of wack. She needs support right now, extra sleep and alone time. She isn't going crazy, this all sounds normal considering the circumstances and the second pregnancy was a surprise. Round up family and friends and create a loving support group for her!

It sounds like your sister is experiencing a severe case of Post Pardom Depression. I think she should speak to her dr. about how she is feeling because she probably needs to go through counseling and/or start taking some anti-depression drugs.
Many women experience what she is feeling and now a days it is becoming more acceptable to talk about it. Good Luck and be there for your sister and try to encourage her to get some help for her sake and that lil baby she gave birth to 5 mos ago and the one in her belly too.

This happened to my sister to. She had a baby then got pregnant like 3 months later. My sister was depressed as well, but we just had to support her. She found her way through this with love and support from us all. My sister never talked about dieing, this may be due to postpartum depression from your sister having her first baby. Lots of women experience this because while you are pregnant your body produces high amounts of hormones, but as soon as you give birth the hormone immediately drop drastically. I would highly suggest to your sister to seek help, possibly medication. I would also suggest to her to get on the pill once she gives birth to the second child. Women are very fertile once giving birth and can get pregnant extremely easy.

I'd say she is probably sleep deprived and stress over her baby and adding that she is pregnant again won't help. She needs someone to talk to a professional would be best. If need be you should sit down and talk with her and ask what you can do to help the situation. Maybe she'll open up and ask for help then.

it is spelled abortion. She is probably stressed over the first baby and being pregnant doesn't help. You should try and help with the baby. And tell your sister that every baby deserves a good healthy life, even if it means adoption. Good Luck!!!!!

it could be her hormones. she may need see a dr. getting pregnant so soon after having 1 baby could be hard on your body. she could also be suffering from post partum depression.
