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!!
