How far along are you, Lovie? Have you
spoken with your doctor about how you
feel? You should. Some of it can be
attributed to hormones, but sometimes a
deeper depression can lurk in pregnant
women.
We hear a lot about post partum
depression, but women are also at risk of
depression during pregnancy.
Please talk to your doctor about your
feelings.
Good luck! And remember pregnancy is not a
joyful time for every woman and it is OK
to feel that way!

i just found out i was pregnant 2 weeks
ago. according to the doctor im about 7
weeks pregnant now. I havent had my appt
with my GYN yet. I thought about talking
to my doctor about it, but i dont feel
there is any basis for me feeling this
way....i just do! a lot of things going on
right now, so many it has something to do
with my the stress in my life....but this
void is unbearable now. I feel like the
doctor or my husband are just gonna tell
me to deal with it, or wont believe that i
actually do feel crappy all the
time...day-in and day-out.

NO basis for feeling this way? Lovie, you
just found out your life is going to
change forever! Not to mention you have a
zillion hormones running around your body
right now.
And you need to tell your doctor and be
insistent about how you feel. You need to
be an advocate for you!
It doesn't make sense to say, "Oh, they'll
just tell me to suck it up so I'm not even
going to say anything..." Why suffer in
silence? You have a right to feel crappy.
It is also a perfectly, 100% normal to
feel what you are feeling. I felt it too,
despite wanting pregnancy, and wanting the
baby so badly, I felt like my life was now
over. And that was with my SECOND child.
Tell someone. ((hugs))

aww...thank you so much! it makes me feel
better that someone can actually believe
me. i kinda mentioned it to my husband,
but he laughed and told me i wasnt allowed
to 'play that card' as of yet. this was
about a week ago, and i wasnt feeling as
upset as i do now, so i didnt respond to
his attitude. I will tell my doctor about
this, but I dont think telling my husband
is gonna do any good, it'll probably just
aggravate me!
my sister in law used to be nauseous all
the time when she was pregnant, and I
would tell myself, I'm gonna fight it, its
all in ur head. But now feeling this
way....its actually REAL! i'd rather be
nauseous!!
