anyone else is feeling depressed in PG?

[ranirani]

I know it is most likely hormones, but for the last three days I have been feeling so dow, cryong non stop, feeling so emotional and needy, my weight is an issue - extra 2 st ands I am only 26 weeks PG.
It is not feels the same, I do not feel the same person as I was before: confident, strong and happy. It just freaks the hell out of me, everything weight, my neediness, weather, yuou name it. Feel so tired and exhausted, how will I be able to go on for another 3 months!!Saying that, my PG was fantastic, no health issues, morning sickness, baby seems to be doing fine....even shopping does not excite me anymore!!
any advise and moral support pleeease!

Sounds normal I'm afraid, and I don't have any advise - sorry
I feel like this a lot. This is my second though, so I knew this was coming. The way I get through it is to remind myself that for this 9 month period all I expect of myself is to keep going to work as normal and to look after myself and the baby. I do as little as possible other than that, and aim to spend as much time as possible watching TV/reading instead of doing all the jobs that really need doing. Having a bit of time to myself to relax does seem to help.

Hi ranirani

I completely sympathise. I feel the same quite a lot of the time. I'm nearly 22 weeks, this is my frst baby. I was very ill earlier and the vomitting is still hanging around for me and I had a gastro bug.
I get very teary and overwhelmed and feel totally unprepared for being pregnany and having a baby. I am knackered, not sleeping and have a very dull temp job which is adding to me low self-esteem. I finding eating a chore at times too.
I have been to see my GP who has referred me to a psychologist for a few sessions to try and unpick things and help me feel more positive about things. Maybe you could try the same? I'l let you knowow it goes.
I dont want to be depressed or dependant on a psychologist but am open to giving it a go.
take care, I think it is normal. Don't be to hard on yourelf. Big hug

i am at the end of pg3 and have terrible depressiong through out all my pgs.
it is really awful, i am surprised there is so much talk about pnd and nothing ever mentioned about during pg depression - for which i am not sure you can take anything.

in all three pgs there has been nothing to do but have it, it meant lots of nights crying, difficulty taking care of myself! and my other dds, etc etc

the wonderful thing is, which is what helps me through it, is that - the moment you give birth, it all goes away and you feel much much better

good luck and don't be hard on yourself it is not something you can control, its the hormones! try to get any support you can from your dp/dh/family etc

Thanks ladies for all your support. I think the half of my problem that since getting PG I started working from home, and because i get so tired in the end, the little I manage is to go for a walk round our little town/village, and nothing else! (but still it is so much better than to run to work every day) Sometimes when I am too tired or the weather is not inspiring, I just sit at home, and watch telly. there is nothing there to watch these days really I watched so much of it lately that it makes me sick really. So it is just me being stuck at home and there you go: food! anyway my DH is very very supportive, but I can't clinge on him too much because everyone has a limit. I have been rather moody and temperamental all this time with bursts of positive enregy, and my DH is and has been amazing; he is very positive person and so after so much talking to me, obviously he will expect me to do something about it ( as I would myself expect if i was in his shoes). My life is quite great: i work from home, whenever i feel like it, do not need to worry about anything, do not need to cook much and clean, got pregnant straight away from second attempt ( I am 34 though), no problems in PG so far, so it is really silly why i feel so down. But here the hormones come in I guess. Yesterday went to town, did some shopping, and went to a caffee to read lots of trashy magazines and am going to do the same today, and then cinema. Hopefully this will cheer me up!

Littlemisskiwi, good luck with your sessions, keep in touch.
Thank you stayinbed and cookiemonster2!
