Pre-baby depression
We found at we are pregnant and due in March 2018. My husband, my 10 and 12 year old, and I are so excited. I've already told my parents/step parent because this is going to be tough. I already have depression, anxiety, migraines and trouble sleeping (not to mention I am 3 years post bariatric surgery). I have completely stopped taking all medications/ vitamins except those that are necessary for my health. I'm doing very well for the most part. However, I've received no excitement from any of my parents. We had a bit of a falling out 2 months ago which has totally killed me because it was my mouth that said some things that I can never take back. I apologized sincerely. I am completely ashamed. The only person who expressed any joy for this baby, this pregnancy, was my sister who is also trying to get pregnant. She has helped me immensely along with my girls. I just found out today that my step brother and girlfriend are expecting a baby as well and due early January. I am so happy for them. Another niece or nephew will be wonderful. I'm not upset about that. What has brought around the sadness is that my parent and step parent are over the moon. I hurt. For the pain I caused my parents and sadness for this baby. Scared because I'm doing this again, in worse circumstances, without my parents support or help. I have my husband and my children and my sister which is more than a lot of women have, and I'm grateful. I still can't help but hurt.
