Does anyone else feel really down?

Basically, I am having a couple of complications in the form of an SCH/ECH and a lot of pain which has stopped me from going into the office and I am having to work from home so I know that these are contributing factors to my general low feeling but I don't know if it is normal?

I feel like I cant really get excited in case something else bad happens and I worry that I have turned really boring and my husband will get sick of me not being able to do anything. I don't really want to go out and I'm not interested in watching films or anything on TV and I can't think of anything to talk to him about as my head is so taken up with the baby and worry. It is my friends wedding in a few weeks time and I am also going to see my favourite show in London the week after, both things that I would normally be really excited about, but I'm just not and I don't know why. I'm also filled with worry that I will be a really bad mum when the baby (hopefully) arrives and I wont be able to cope.

I wanted pregnancy to be a really exciting time and thought I would carry on as normally as I could, go to all the pregnancy groups and be all 'glowy' and instead I just feel a bit hopeless and dull.

Is this just hormones playing tricks on me and is there anything I can do to snap out of it??

I'm 14 weeks pregnant and I went through something similar over the last few weeks, not wanting to do anything really and struggling to do the small day to day things like making meals, washing etc. I spoke to my midwife about it as I knew it wasn't like me and I haven't felt it before. She suggested going to the doctor for guidance and perhaps counselling if needed. So I would def talk to your midwife and go from there. It's hard as you know it's hormone related but it doesn't help how you're feeling day in day out. This feels like the longest pregnancy already...! Smile

That's how I feel! But then I feel guilty for feeling like that! I have an appointment with my midwife on Monday so I will talk to her about it then.

I'm sorry your feeling that way too. If you need someone to talk to at any point just post on here and I'll be there for you! x
