Am I going mad?

[Henners1]

Hi, i'm 16wks pregnant with my first child and 4 days ago I was overcome with an overwhelming feeling of sadness. I just feel like crying all of the time. I can't stop thinking about the people around me dying and also about dying myself. The rational part of my brain is telling me to snap out of it and why worry about something that I can't do anything about but unfortunately the irrational part of my brain is taking over. I feel like i'm going mad, i'm worried that this isn't something to do with the pregnancy and is just me losing it. Everything seems like an effort at the moment and I can't even pretend anymore to be happy in front of other people.
Has anybody else ever experienced anything like this before?
I have had 2 miscarriages so far this year and feel like this should be the happiest time of my life after everything we've been through to get here but at the moment it feels like the worst!

Hi- I had similar negative feelings wrt to being pregnant, even though it was very much planned etc..

Mentioned it to my Gp who said it was nothing to worry about. I had hyperemesis, two other children so was exhausted and had also miscarried quite recently, so I was a bit afraid to get my hopes up.

I think basically your hormones just blow any negative thoughts or worries out of all proportion. Maybe mention it to your MW at your 16 wk appt.
