I've always wanted to be a mother. I've
been pregnant before, but with out
success. I'm pregnant again now. And
inside I feel like i'm drowing in my
fears. I want this baby, it wasn't
planned, but I want it anyway.
Only problem is I can't fight this
depression. This is surpose to be the
happiest moment of my life. I
was a heavy smoker before I got pregnant
and quit cold turkey. I had one slip over
the weekend.
I'm so scared of whats in store for me.
Am I alone in feeling like this

This is somewhat normal but you might want
to talk to the doc about this. Most
pregnant women fear of losing or having a
not normal baby, have you always been
anxious or depressed, these are things
that you should talk to the doc about.
Sincerely,
sandy

My pregnancy was unplanned too and I was
so paranoid at the begining about
miscarriage as I had 2 previously. Once
I reached my 2nd tri, I felt better. Now
I have about 3 1/2 weeks left before my
due date and am super paranoid again that
something will be wrong with my son and
about sids. It is completely normal to
be scared and unsure. If you are with
the baby's father, talk to him, talk to
your doc/nurse. They will reassure that
it's normal feelings/
good luck

The most important is talking about it.
Don't keep your feelings in, that is not
healthy for you. This stage should pass.
It did for me. I had the depression
too. A child is a big responsibility so
of course your going to feel anxious.
Mine was unplanned and now he is 5 weeks
old and nobody makes me happier than him.
Good luck

jlee!!!! Hey girly! You haven't been
on here in a while! By the way jr's pics

Unplanned or not, if u love ur child,

I do, i'll be there for my baby no matter
what.

Jessamyn suggested zoloft..... Do not do
that!!!!! I have been reading a lot of
studies on anti-depressants and
anti-anxitiey meds and they are harming
the babies before and after birth. The
baby can have a dependency to the med
after birth and it can cause their
seretonin levels up majorly. We are here
for you to talk to and your docs. And
nurses are just a phone call away also.
This in time will pass I have been through
the depression and I have had days that I
was afraid of getting out of bed for fear
of doing something that would cause me to
have another miscarriage but I am doing
fine now... I still worry but it is
normal and you will come out of the
constant worry. It just takes time
