Feeling so low - 7 weeks

[Summersun1991]

Hi guys - I think I’m possibly looking for reassurance.
I’m 7 weeks pregnant and the sickness has started but the low mood has hit me like a tonne of bricks.
I didn’t expect to feel this way at all. I have been so excited up until this point but now I am doubting that this is even what I want. I almost don’t want to acknowledge that I’m pregnant and don’t want to speak or think about it. I have lost any excitement I had and it’s just dread.
Is this normal? Will it pass? I have never felt this low before, I just hope it goes.

Sorry youre feeling this way OP.

I'm currently 14 weeks and although this baby is very much wanted, I have some health issues brought on by pregnancy (which I knew I would have) and thought I was prepared for. But when the sickness hit and feeling so unwell took over, I too experienced doubt and low mood around my pregnancy. It sucked the excitement out and I felt a reluctance to even announce my pregnancy. I felt like a fraud having to feign excitement. But I'm glad to say, the nausea has subsided and that doubt and dread has gone with it. It's so hard to feel good when you feel so unwell and exhausted, and then add into the mix hormones playing havoc with emotions and I think it's totally normal to feel how you are feeling. That said, it might be worth mentioning to your midwife and see if talking it through helps. Maternal mental health doesn't get talked about nearly enough in my opinion, it's such a big event in your life you're going through. Don't suffer alone x

Whilst we hear a lot about post natal depression, pregnancy depression is also a thing. If you’re feeling consistently low speak to your GP, or the midwife’s - your booking in appointment should be soon

My sicknes instantly brings me down
and i was sad all day everday but i know it doesnt last for me and 15/16 weeks i was back to happy excited and not sick.

12 weeks scan is a great milestone
but i had private scans to basically cheer myself up! And give me something to look at as a reminder it is worth it!
