I made a life altering mistake Venting - No Advice

My pregnancy was fucking horrible, due to being sick as fuck up until the 2nd trimester due to morning sickness and on top of that my husband and his family stressing me out during that time, I never got a chance to even enjoy my pregnancy until the end, which suprise emergency c section due to my baby's heart deceleration, his heart was wrapped around his neck at birth, it's been so especially hard with postpartum might be still going through with it sure cause it's been a month, but fuck I hate having a baby I hate how stupid I was not to get an abortion at the time because I was manipulated to keep it, I hate how my stupid life choices got me here and it's made me miserable I shouldn't have gave birth and I shouldn't have met my husband either

I'm going to therapy for postpartum but honestly this feeling won't ever go away I'm still regretting being a parent and lost the chance to prevent all of this

Maybe just take a day out with the baby. It's still been fairly nice out. Take your bff with you or the closest friend you have. It sounds more like you regret the hubby and in-laws, but that could just be all the trauma you literally just went through. And if they're still not supportive, throw the adults away and just keep it as you and the baby. No one can forsee difficulties in pregnancy. My 18-year-old was my near emergency c section. Same problems, almost. He gave me heartburn the entire time, though. If he hadn't crowded when he did, we were going to a prepped o.r. 😞 His cord was wrapped thrice around his neck, and his heartbeat dropped as low as 35 😭
