After I found myself pregenant with twins, struggled with the ideal of aborting the pregancey, but I didn't because of the horrible way I may have felt afterwrdsom people safelt after I had the first one. I know I'm responsible for my actions nad I know most people would say just get over it, or way didn't you use birth control, etc. I was already the parent of a 5yr.old , I knew what parenting entailed, and I was exciting about the possibility of having one baby. At 7weeks I found out I was having two continued the pregnancey, but 4 months late I 'm having PPD, regrets, questioning way I wanted anothe in the first place. When I was voicing my concerns to my husband , he stated that " this was all your ideal in the first place", I did mention to him that I did not force him or take his sperm w/o his permission. So anyway I haven't started on medication, but I tink I will Ihave been trying everything to feel better but I have gotten to the point were I can not concentrate on housework

While PPD is normal after child birth, that doesn't mean you have to suffer. Is there someone you can talk to? Do you have health insurance or a state mental health facility nearby? Having someone to talk to may help you tremendously, even if you decide to take anti-depressants. It has been found that talk therapy does more than just the medications alone.
Best of luck to you and I hope your husband is more supportive than he appears here.
