I'm so tired of this life. My best efforts have never been enough, why would my best be enough for a child.

heck no. do not let yourself be pressured by what other people think in this situation. you stopped as soon as you found out you were pregnant, and this is a LIFE we are talking about. not something trivial. its important and its your choice. babies dont come with directions, everyone makes mistakes once theyre here, but you can get help to learn if you end up needing help. needing help doesnt mean you have to get an abortion. **** those people. get a replacement obgyn and have faith in yourself. you CAN do this. (edit, yes going off your meds can be risky for you, but its vital for the child that you not be on them...theyre teratogens at every stage of development, but certainly during first trimester...)
