Low mood - feel like I’m walking round with a rain cloud above my head!

[Sparksi]

Planned baby, first DC and it’s our rainbow after an early loss at the beginning of the year.

I have a lovely DH, supportive family and a few friends I can really count on. Nothing about my situation has lent itself to feeling low, but I do! It feels like walking round with a rain cloud above my head at the moment. I am just fed up and feel all the emotions x100 which I guess I have hormones to thank for.

I did start off the pregnancy with a lot of anxiety about baby’s viability and wellbeing. After a couple of good scans I am much more chilled about that but it seems I am now just down in the dumps. I’ve lost interest in work and need reassurance more from everyone, worry I’ve annoyed people etc.

Blah! Anyone else feel this way? I’m 11 weeks tomorrow.

Yes I do. In work feel like I’m second guessing myself all the time and extra sensitive about any comment people make. Came home after my last shift and bawled my eyes out.

Hi
I hated pregnancy…every single week of it and I was miserable. Remember you have so much going on right now it’s a lot to take in. My DS is 14 weeks on Wednesday…it’s worth it hang on in there :)

I don't think it would hurt for you to talk to someone if you are feeling down like that constantly and have lost interest in work etc , maybe go or midwife ? Just talking about it with someone might help rather than worrying about annoying people just get it all off your chest x

Yes I have this, it seems to come in waves. Some days I'll be OK and others everyone and everything annoys me. I feel really bored and irritable constantly. Just know it won't be like this forever, I try to find comfort in knowing sometimes we need to experience it all, the good and the bad, although it's not very nice at the time.
