Is anyone else expriencing extreme lows? I find myself at least once a day crying my eyes out to the point where I'm feeling suicidal. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow for my first appoinment, is it worth mentioning this or is he going to think I'm a silly woman young woman?

I had a 'meltdown' at work at about 6 weeks and experienced a few mood swings. mention it to your Dr - you wont think you're silly - he'll reassure you that its normal.

I was gonna post the same thing near enough.Been fine up til today then today felt so tearful all day,was almost in tears in work because i was so cold and even asked to go home (which isnt like me),Then when i wasnt relieved at work until 30 mins after i was ment to be,i was pretty irate even voicing my unhappiness.Got home and outta nowhere started on my oh even getting physical with him(which id never dream of)hes my soulmate.Also on a real downer as im covinced today this pregnancy will go wrong like th other and i realy couldnt handle that.Spoke to a friend tonight who had her baby on fri and she seems to think its a good sign feeling like this as it shows the hormones are kicking in properly lets hope so.

Hormones are very powerful and i do remember feeling very tearful for no obvious reason in the first trimester. Would not say I felt suicidal though. No harm in mentioning it to gp if you are going anyway.

I felt very low 2 days ago and couldn't stop crying for around 2 hours. I felt so guilty and felt like I didnt deserve to be having a baby.

Just try hang on in there and hope for it to pass.

Unfortunately, I think these hormones rear their ugly heads all the way through! I was crying all weekend cos I think I'm going to be a crap mum! And on and off I want to punch OH...! Poor guy!

Im hoping they are normal as ive been a right monster lately ! It doesnt take much for me to cry and when i do start i cant stop, big heaving sobbing.
I have spoken to midwife and she said its my hormones and to try and relax. Easy for her to say ! ha ha
Im sure it will pass and keep thinking about the end result, it will be worth it

I would go ahead and mention it to the doctor. Anytime you have suicidal thoughts, personally, I think it's best to seek a professional opinion. Your hormones are going crazy right now and a lot of women go through depression during their pregnancy.

You should for sure tell your dr. It is normal for you to experience emotional swings, but suicidal thoughts should always be shared w/your dr. You may be able to take some meds to help through the early stages when your hormones haven't adjusted. You should also make sure you have someone around who knows that you have been feeling extreme low so you can call/talk to them when you are having horrible thoughts. Take care of yourself and baby!
