hi,firstly you have a major event happening in youre life right now,youre 1st baby.that alone provokes so many different emotions(even for someone who has no issues!)we all fear we wont cope with our 1st child,panick we are not ready for such responsibility etc,and of course there is the matter of those hormones.they alone will have you up@down,its good you say you have a kind@loving man,does he know of the abuse?are you able to trust@talk honestly with him,im sure if he was aware of youre feelings/fears he would reassure you.the fact you have memories come to mind that you dont know how to deal with makes me wonder if you are recieving any councelling?if not,perhaps it would do no harm to arrange some?try to remember that you are a SURVIVOR,perhaps an inspiration to others in the same boat,you had the courage to go to court@charge youre step-father,now that was very brave indeed.its normal to have low self-esteem in pregnancy@no,you wont pass this on to youre baby.try to tell yourself each day how brave you were,that you survived youre ordeal,that youre abuser did not beat you,you won,you have a loving partner,a beautifull baby coming@a wonderfull life ahead you,i hope this helps you@everything goes well for you from here in because you deserve this.jkatxxx
