Young mum nervous about 2nd baby!!!

I am 18 years old, and already have a 9 month old baby..I suffered post natal depression with him and found out this morning that I am pregnant again, another unplanned pregnancy. I dont think I can go thru with an abortion....any1 got any advice?

Like Nikki said, have a talk to someone. It comes as a shock when bubs is young and you find our another is on the way, and it's unplanned.. I think for some even if it's planned it's still "oh my god!"

Take some time, think through all the possibilities and let it sink in a little too.   I had PND pretty nasty after my 1st.. and was terrified I'd get it back, I didn't because this time round i made sure i had supports in place, I was honest with Mike about what i thought set it off last time, And i did everything i could to prepare myself emotionally for #2.

In the end you need to figure out what you can and cannot handle, who can support you (ask them , it's hard and can mean you have to admit that you DO need help, especially with another young baby to look after too) and go from there.

Good luck and keep us posted, the ladies here are all great for support no matter what you need advice or help with, any path you choose to take.

((((HUGS))) I to had a unplanned pregancy with my son kalem when i was 21 and was on my own but the best thing i ever did was talk to people.

I agree with all the 'get good support' advice, Anjel - if your family are the supportive type - GREAT!  If they aren't, look around at your friends and how supportive or not they are.  If there's lots of practical help and a few good shoulders to cry on, use them and use them good!  But don't despair if your friends aren't that kind either, because there's always places like Plunket, Barnados, Pregnancy Centre, Open Home Foundation, agencies out there that can put you in touch with kind and supportive people, and even groups for young mums if that's your kind of thing. 

If you've survived PND already once before, I'm guessing that's made you a stronger person now that you've come out the other end of it - I dunno if you feel strong at all or not, but I think you're bound to develop new strengths to get through depression, and you've got through it, girl!  Scary thought, that it could happen again, sure, but that doesn't mean that it WILL happen again. 

And when you're thinking about your options - remember there's more than 2 out there!  You'll know in your heart how you personally feel about abortion, so listen to that, because that's the same heart you're stuck with afterwards no matter which decision you make, so you want to be in agreeance with it!  Adoption is another option, and again, at the end of the day you'll know if that feels right for you or not.  Trust your instincts! 

oh anjel, you poor thing, you must be so worried!
it's a really hard decision to make, it would probably help if you did talk to someone.
i'm also a young mum, i got pregnant when i was 19, i'm now 20 with a lovely 10 month old son but i recently had a bit of a pregnancy scare so it got me to thinking about what i would do if i actually was pregnant. if you do decide to have the baby it would make it a lot easier if you have a good support network like friends and family, just lots of people to talk to and help you.
good luck with the decision and remember we're all here if you need any more advice or just a bit of support.
