Does Anyone Else Feel This Way? Posted: 08-15-05 11:56am
I am 27, been married for almost 2 years
and 5 weeks pregnant. This was a planned
pregnancy.
I should be on top of the world, but I
feel quite the opposite. I have problems
with anxiety, but over the past few months
have gotten it well under control. About
2 days before I found out I was pregnant I
started to feel my anxiety acting up and
it has gotten progressively worse since.
On top of that, my moods have just been
dipping lower and lower. Yesterday I
cried for 3 hours straight.
Everyone around me is absolutely elated by
the news. Everyone except me. I want to
be. 90% of the time when the topic of the
baby comes up it makes me want to cry, the
other 10% of the time I feel almost
indifferent. I just don't get it.
I talked to my doctor today and she
recommended I go back on zoloft.
Unfortunately though it takes weeks to
start feeling the effects from that.
My husband is being supportive, but I just
would love to know that I am not alone
with this. Can anyone here relate to how
I am feeling?

Feel Better... Posted: 08-18-05 08:26am
I am sorry that you feel like this.I am
going into 7 weeks and I felt just like
that but in my 5th week,i started to feel
better and not cry so much.But I had to
pray and ask god to help me feel better!
Trust me it worked.Then I read the bible
more often.I am just telling you what I
did because I felt like I was loosing
control! I would not take meds for this
because it is kinda natural to be
emotional during the first trimester of
pregnancy.If it was just us,then just
about all pregnant women would be taking
meds for it.I hope you truly feel better
soon...God bless
