Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone else has been feeling low about their pregnancy?

I'm 16 weeks and 1 day pregnant and I'm still suffering from morning sickness, I'm really tired, I've got headaches and I'm just not enjoying pregnancy as much as I thought I would. I've also got some other embarassing side effects that are pulling me down and making me almost hate what should be a memorable and exciting time. I'm also so paranoid that someone will break into my house at night that it's affecting my ability to sleep and my DH's.

This is everything I've wanted for 18 months up to falling pregnant but I feel so blue. I've tried to talk to my DH about how I feel but he doesn't seem to understand what I'm trying to tell him. I feel like I'm sinking fast and I haven't really got anyone I can talk to, I'm so angry with myself for not being able to cope and for feeling like this.

Hun it's totally normal ...

I have had pregnancies from HELL, ill all the time, down in the dumps and sitting there going "why am i doing this" .... BUT

It IS worth it i promise you, Have to talked to your MW about any of this?? She isn't there just to keep an eye on you physically ...

I hope you start to feel better soon!

Imi is right hun. Have a chat with your MW. I had a great pregnancy physically last time, but mentally I really struggled. I have sinced realised that I could have done something about it, and am well aware of it this time around.
It is really common to feel low, and combined with feeling ill its a lousy feeling.
Big Hugs to you x

aww hun you're not alone!

when you have your head down the loo and you're so tired and you cant help but feel miserable!

im not gonna say it will get better because for some of us (imi and myself included) it doesnt. but here's hoping that your morning sickness will ease off soon!!

Join the club chick, Im feeling blue and Im not enjoying my pregnancy at all. I have not enjoyed it from the word 'go' and I really wish that I could.
Im full of anxiety, depression, you name it and ive got it.
Im almost 35 weeks and for me it just seemed to get worse and worse!
Whilst it's enevitable that almost all pregnant women will feel down at some point, many suffer more than others do, but im guessin that depends on your state of mind and positivity BEFORE you got pregnant!
Personally for me, I may have chose the wrong time to have a child, but thats not to say that I would turn the clock round and write it off like it never happened- I love my little one to bits already, but the stress and worry can get way too much to handle.
Your symptoms will get better and hopefully your sadness will too, but like me, (if you dont mind me saying), you seem to be a little more on the paranoid side of life!
I live like that most days, I convince myself of things that I have no control over. I loose sleep over it, I worry myself stupid sometimes...
Other days I sleep the hours away just to pass the time!

I know I wont be happy until I see my little boy- Im not saying this wil be the same for you, but dependin on just how paranoid you are, you may not stop your worrying until baby is born, and even then, im sure you'll find something else to wittle over! (if you're anything like me you will)
I cant tell you to try and enjoy your pregnancy (well I can) because coming from me its going to be way too hypocritical, but what I can try to advise you is, talk to someone about your worries etc:, about your paranoia. Talk to your MW/DR etc: I know their not there 24/7 and it's hard to get through things when theres nobody around to understand you, but if you want, you can always PM one of us on here if you simply want to chat!

I wish you all the very best with your pregnancy!!! x

Your OH may not understand you, but I can put my hand on my heart and say that I do, 110%.

maybe your drs can see this and thats why theyve offered you extra care hun

its just you made it seem like they were offing you care because of your mothers behaviour and not yours! sorry if i misread.

im sure they dont mean to make you feel psycotic

you say theyre not bothered about your anxiety but you just said thats why they offered you extra care? sorry hun but you're not making sense.

if you continue being stressed/depressed it can have an affect on your son so you have to be careful.

you think that you will be happier after your son is born? thats not always the case hun and if the extra care is there i would take the help just incase you get PND

(not that im saying you will)
