Second pregnancy and depression

[gigigig]

I'm 7 weeks pregnant with a planned second baby and feel so miserable. I just want to hide in bed all day. I'm snappy with everyone and struggling to connect with my toddler DD.

All i can think about is how much will be lost with this baby. I feel so sick and tired atm I can't look after my toddler properly, can't do my job properly I'm going to lose so much ground on maternity leave workwise, I'm going back to no sleep newborn, losing the parts of my life I've managed to clawback since DD was born.

I just feel hopeless and alone. I just want to hide.

Has anyone felt like this before? Did it pass?

I think when you feel so sick in those early weeks everything seems so bleak and such an effort. Just concentrate on taking each day at a time and getting through that and don’t look further than that. Do whatever helps you. Food, sleep, put toddler in front of iPad or tv. Hopefully the sickness will diminish about 12 weeks. If you are still feeling bad see the doctor. You can take antidepressants during pregnancy. It is initially a bit harder with two but in the longer term they will play together and amuse each other. Is there anyone who can help you out a bit?
