FTM - Hormones/Mood Swings! 1st trimester

Hi there,

I am about 6 weeks pregnant, found out last week and I’m very scared, but excited ❤️

I’m really struggling with my hormones at the moment, it’s my worst symptom right now. I’m really scared of it getting worse as I have PTSD/Depression and I’m really scared it’s going to make it worse. I have my partner to confuse him but I don’t want to overload him as he’s still processing he’s going to be a dad 😊 Yesterday my mood was up and down every half an hour I would say, and when I felt good and excited I kept thinking but my mood is going to get worse soon enough. I’ve also stopped vaping because I’m pregnant so I think that will be adding to it as well!

Has any got any tips/reassurance/advice? I’m hoping my mood stabilises soon but it’s making me dread everything, even to the point where I’m panicking that I’m not going to have a clue what I’m doing if and my partner is going to leave me to do everything and moan that he’s tired 😂 when I have no reason to think that because he’s a first time dad as well and helps me as it is ! It’s just the thoughts and worries are taking over and it’s getting me down

thank you :) xx
