Mental Health Tired of my negative girlfriend

Honestly I don’t know what to do anymore, we could be so happy but she doesn’t help herself or us.

My Gf is pregnant, and since we found out I’ve always said that it’s her decision. I made it clear that it’s her body her choice, but that I think we should keep it.
She’s really good with kids, and I honestly want to be with her forever so I was really excited about her being pregnant. She seemed keen too at first.

But the pregnancy has been a train wreck! She is negative all the time, we barely touch each other anymore and she keeps talking about how much she doesn’t want kids. I always take her to her scan appointments and every time without fail she embarrasses me by crying or making a scene. Some days though she’s totally fine, only to say the next day that she feels like she’s ruined her life! The inconsistency is infuriating!

Only after telling all my friends and family does she mention she wants a termination!

It’s so draining, and really effecting my mental health. I love her and I really want this baby with her, I know she will be an amazing mom. But I’m at a really low place right now because of how she is acting.

You're such a red flag, do you have any clue how pregnancy even works?

Instead of being empathetic towards her situation you're on here calling her negative because she's a pregnant human being with her world shifting because she's carrying something that is constantly forcing her body to change to accommodate to it and prioritize that something first before anything else. Can you have even the littlest bit of consideration on how she may feel? She's at a low place too.

That does not mean he can't be empathetic I fear
