Not coping with being pregnant

[MurderOfGoths]

I've been awake since 3am because this baby will not stop kicking, I'm exhausted and in pain, as if I wasn't struggling with the pregnancy enough. I haven't enjoyed a single thing about it, I'm just worn out and fed up.

I can't even take anti depressants as they will react with the anti emetics, so my choice is vomiting or depression.

I swing between wanting to self harm and wishing I was dead, I just want it all to stop. I want a break. I feel like this all day every fucking day now. And I've still got until the end of March until it's finally over, everyone else is so happy and excited and I just want to scream.

I'm terrified of giving birth again, I'm terrified of just waking up tomorrow still pregnant. Much as it makes me sound like a total bitch I long for a miscarriage, just to make this hell stop.

I hate everything about being pregnant, I despise this hideous bump that just aches constantly. I'm never comfortable. I just want to forget I'm pregnant, even for just 5 minutes.

I don't want to give you any advice as I would be completely out of my depth. But am willing to hold your hand and listen!

Have you been able to speak this frankly to anyone in RL??

I can't offer advice either, but it sounds to me like you do need to talk to someone in RL, maybe you should see the GP for a referral for counselling? It can only help to talk it through surely?

You poor thing. I felt like this during my 2nd pregnancy, I also was vomiting till the bitter end of the pregnancy. FWIW, labour 2nd time round was much easier. Mentally easier to deal with as I knew once I pushed and pushed she'd finally be born and I wouldn't be pregnant anymore!!

Mention it to your midwife. I really which I had.

Don't feel bad for feeling this way. I know many people talk about pregnancy being all floaty dresses and pouring over maternity mags, but for many of us it's a misery.

Sorry you having a tough pregnancy. Agree talking with midwife again may help. Hopefully things will improve for you.

I'm waiting on a referral to a counselor and don't see my midwife until mid Jan, my gp knows I'm struggling and has been really good, but there's only so much she can do

Sorry you are having such a hard time.
Were you on anti depressants previously?
You need to speak again to GP, depression in pregnancy is not uncommon and there are medications you can take.

You need to go and get some help.

Yeah, but they react with the anti emetics, so have to decide between the two, and if I don't take the anti emetics then I can't keep the anti depressants in my system anyway. :(

But not all do though and some like mirtazapine also have an antiemetic effect.

There should be someone in your area that is experienced in dealing with depression and mental health probs during pregnancy.

Speak to GP, be honest and say what you have written here.

There are most definitely other medication options but you need referred to someone knowledgeable in this area.

It's difficult because the only anti emetic to work for me is Ondansetron, which seems to limit my options

Would you like to meet soon sweetheart? X

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant and I’m on an emotional rollercoaster, honestly don’t know how to cope with it, my partner and I are really happy but I haven’t told anyone else (family) yet as it’s only early and I’m trying to get my head around it. I just wondered how everyone else coped first time and how they told people? I’m 21 and we feel ready but I’m terrified people will judge me and tell me I’m too young. I’m probably over reacting but I wish I had someone to talk to and reassure me. My partner is really supportive but I feel him saying ‘it’ll be fine, we’ll be great’ just isn’t enough to calm my nerves, also work is a massive worry for me, how they’ll react and how soon I’ll be able to go back because I feel like I’m letting them down too,

Sorry for the long post x
