is this normal??

Question

Is anyone else going through this??? I am excited that I am pregnant and I know I am blessed. My boyfriend is amazing and I love him to no end. I just feel like something is wrong with me. I keep getting down and gloomy. Is this normal? Last week I was giggling and smiley. Today I want to cry because I am worrying about every single thing. I feel like I am back and forth with my emotions. Anyone having a hard time feeling happy all the time? Dont get me wrong I am happy but when I feel down, I feel guilty because i am not bouncing for joy. please anyone have advice?? is this normal?

Answer

I'm the same way. I have really been depressed since the first trimester and I am almost in my third... but that doesn't mean you are depressed!! However, its natural and caused by hormones to have mood swings, plus you have so many life changes going on that could cause you to have mixed emotions. I would also suggest you pay close attention to your emotional health throughout your pregnancy because it is very common to become depressed. It isn't your fault, and it's also pretty normal, but it also needs to be addressed so it doesn't consume you! I am definitely going to keep in touch with my midwives after having the baby because I know I'm susceptible to PPD. You can always talk to your doctor about it to see if it's just normal mood swings, or something more serious like depression. Either way, remember it doesn't make you a bad mama, and it doesn't mean that you aren't also happy about the baby if you are depressed! Don't feel guilty! 🙂

Answer

totally normal...its your hormones.. they are going crazy and if a cloud in the sky is shaped wrong, it can cause us to cry...  it usually goes away after the first trimester...i hope so anyway cause i am usually not a cry-er, but dang, anything makes me cry right now.... especially if it has to do with animals... chin up sweetie... what you are feeling is just hormones... nothing is wrong with you... you arent sad or depressed or anything... you are just.....pregnant
