hi
i have recently found out im pregnant with number 4! All previous 3 were cesarean deliveries and the last one was hard. This has come as a surprise as i was on the pill however after having a stomach bug for a few days the effectiveness obviously wasn't where it should have been. I have come to terms with the pregnancy but my husband is against continuing and can only think of the negative side effects this will have. Am i being selfish in wanting to continuing?
Am i being selfish in wanting this baby?

I don't think you are being selfish. I think termination is an incredibly difficult decision. I don't know ALL your personal circumstances or what your doctor said after the last baby. So only you and he can decide together what is best for your family. I don't think he is selfish either BTW.
I was in the same position with number 3, my husband did not want the babe and I did. I ended up terminating and grieving for the babe i wanted and would never have. that was 3 years ago and i still get upset when i see other people pregnant or newborns. I had to stop working due to my severe mood swings and even now i do not cope well going out in public for fear of seeing a baby. i am hoping this will go away but i hate that i put my husband first. i am hopeful one day i will get another chance but it will be by accident as my hubby is very careful. i do not re-sent my hubby as i am the one who booked the appointment and went in there and did it but i hate that i could not stand up for my unborn child and say i'm keeping it. he/she would have been 3 on the 21st of June :'(
