Antenatal/postnatal depression

First trimester & feeling down

Hey, so I'm 17 and 9 weeks pregnant. We found out about a month ago and at the time thought we were about 8 week, meaning we'd be 12 weeks now. We had our scan and it turned out way earlier than we thought. I've been so down lately, I don't feel a connection to my partner, I don't wanna work, I don't fit my clothes with the weight I'm putting on and feel so miserable. I don't think it's helped that I feel like I've been thrown back and having to do the first trimester again (sounds silly I know)
Anyone else feel/felt like this?

Hello, just logged in as I am 16 weeks and feeling really depressed. I realised no one had responded to you. Just to say you aren't on your own feeling awful.

Hey I'm 12weeks + 4days the exact same happened to me! I thought I 6 weeks but turned out I wasn't and it made me feel really low and kind of angry ( don't know why ) me and my partner are having issues as well just don't feel respected at all and I've put on a ton of weight. I went from a size 8 to now being 12-14 so don't worry you're not the only one. Just think it will all be worth it in the end and you'll be able to get back in to them clothes soon!

Hi, you’re not the only one op. For various reasons pg is physically and mentally very hard for me. I’m 17 weeks today and I’ve barely managed to leave home since week 4. I have long periods of feeling depressed and anxious but I don’t know if that’s bcause of the situ I’m in and just reacting to how rubbish my body is at being pg or if I’m actually depressed. I’ve got an appointment with a mental health nurse next week which I have already postponed as I couldn’t make it to the hospital for the last apt and I have a feeling I’m going to have to postpone it again but I really need it. I’ve put on 2 stone already because I have to eat all the time for nausea. If I try to eat less I feel so awful all I can do is lie in bed and sob. I feel like I’m caught in a nightmare that won’t end until I give birth. I hate this. But I know in the long run this will just be a memory and I’ll recover from it but it doesn’t help how hard it is right now.
