Anyone else feeling down whilst pregnant?

[TitsalinaBumSquash]

I feel like a real cow writing this, so many people can't have children, I myself have had many miscarriages and want this baby so much.
This past couple of days I have been feeling quite down, I have stayed in my room feeling rough and eating everything to keep the ms at bay.
DP is keen for us to go out and socialise, for me to meet some of his friends I haven't yet but all I can think of is how horrible and frumpy I look, I have put on quite a bit of weight already at only 10 weeks purely because they only way I can stop the sickness is to eat carbs so none of my clothes fit, my boobs have grown a couple of sizes so i look even bigger, my face is unrecognisable from acne, it's spread over one entire part of my face. I look hideous.

And yes I know this is what happens during pregnancy, I was of course expecting all this so I don't know why I'm moaning, it's just everything is really getting me down atm. I think when people know it might be easier, I have gone from a social butterfly to a recluse and people must be thinking awful things about me.

Sorry for the self indulgent whinge.

Hi
don't worry now's the time to have a little self indulgent whinge :)
I'm 9 weeks, so just behind you and been feeling the same. Pg not planned and came as quite a shock plus had awful MS, especially at night so not sleeping making me very cranky.
Last week i had a little (ok huge) cry to my mum about it all. I think at this stage we're having all the horrible symptoms but its stll not real, haven't got scan photo, not feeling movements, haven't got bump , won't dare buy anything. Once you get past this bit you'll start to feel differently, even if feeling bad still you'll have a little flutter/kick which will remind you why.
Don't worry about other people, they probably aren't thinking anything - i've cancelled every meal/night out i've had plannned the last few weeks, figure they'll all know why soon enough :)

Thanks plunkett I think a good cry is in the horizon. This is the first time in doing this without my Mum and that's proving harder than expected. DP is wonderful, I feel bad though because he is missing out on stuff because he doesn't want me to be left feeling like this.
I haven't the energy to do anything at all. I wish I could just snap out of it for a day or 2.
Glad to know in not the only one though.

A good cry always clears the air I think. Any plans you or DP (he sounds really supportive btw) have missed will be a distant memory soon anyway. I just keep telling myself I can't feel like this forever! I missed my friends b'day meal on fri and felt terrible, but my lovely friend (who knows) talked about all the days out we'd have with the baby - then it didn't seem like such a big deal.
I went and got some baby catalogues the other day - don't want to buy anything yet but having a look through when down reminds me what it's all for.

Hope you feel better later

knowing about horrid things happening to your body isn't the same as actually having them happen.
I feel the same, fat (I'm usually skinny), spotty, frumpy, nothing fits me and not because I am developing a bump (I haven't yet).
I haven't felt like going out either, all in law family want me to be centre of a cooing session but I just can't bear being fawned over. I am beginning to get narked that nobody will talk to me about normal things. Had a bit of a breakdown yesterday that I have another 6 months of people judging my size, giving advice, knowing looks, pestering me etc, husband desn't get it at all that I just want to carry on as normal. GAH! I want it over all already!
You're not alone!

I felt the same and felt awful for whinging about it, but you can't help how you feel. However, what did help was getting out, getting a bit of light exercise, eating a bit more carefully too, I know what you mean about the carbs, but this will pass! DH is right about getting out, but it is hard when you feel rubbish and shattered, are there times of the day, like sunday lunchtime perhaps when you feel a bit better than going out in the evening?
