Feel I'm not coping

[BaaHumbugg]

I'm about 7 weeks pg with my second but feel I am not coping. I'm severely depressed and have lost all interest in TV or just normal things, all I do is lay in bed all day and then throw up every night. I can't do anything with my daughter and my partner is having to do everything, thank god he is not at work.

Just don't know what to do, I don't feel I can carry on and don't feel any happiness about this baby as it's already taking so much from me.

Does anyone feel the same? Please no judgement

Hi @BaaHumbugg I'm currently pregnant with my second but so far I don't have any symptoms and I do not get a chance to rest as I have a 19 month old! But with my first I was ill I couldn't leave bed I never went to work I felt so depressed I hated being pregnant. But it did get better and he was so worth it. Rest as much as you want I would if I could lol. Is the depression from the sickness ? Or just in general? Did you feel depressed before you got pregnant ?

Thanks, glad you are ok. No not depressed before pregnancy, it's awful isn't it

13 weeks pregnant with our first and I've had the exact same thing, all I feel like doing is sitting under my blanket on the sofa watching Disney films... not like me at all and it's only been like this since about 6 weeks but being so poorly didn't help.

Just know that you're not alone in feeling like this. Pregnancy changes everything- your physical state, your hormones and mental health! It's a big journey but you're doing a great job and it will be worth it in the end (or so I keep being told lol!)

Keep strong and just reach out if you need help, don't suffer in silence! Sending positive vibes

I'm nearly 6 weeks, my second. My dd is 23 months. Was so excited initially but now soo tired and just sad. Don't know if I can do this. I hated pregnancy first time round but this time with a toddler, I just don't know. I love being a mom but have so many thoughts about how awful pregnancy is and how much harder it will be.

@firsttimemamax hopefully you are almost at the end of the worst part, I remember my first pregnancy 13 weeks was when it started to lift.

I really can't deal with it this time, If I remembered it being this bad I would have never done it again.

@jacky209990 I feel exactly the same, it's horrible isn't it

It really is. I just feel so guilty for feeling this way. It helps knowing I'm not alone in feeling like this.

I don't think it's helped my dp has told his whole family. He was soo excited but I think he's been really surprised by how low in mood and uninterested I've been to talk to about it. He's gone from talking about prams and decorating rooms to yes it's expensive, no sleep again etc maybe we should have an abortion. Which has just really confused me, I feel like I just need some time to think and wallow.

@jacky209990 it's even worse when other people know and you have to act excited. Hope you feel better soon
