Depressed or happy during/after baby?

Question

I know everyone is different but i’d just like to see how others are! I’ve had a very hard pregnancy, mentally, and all I want is for the baby to be here! I feel like I will feel so much better having him with me. But am I just setting myself up pretty much? Will I actually be as happy as I think I will be?

Answer

I had a hard pregnancy too. I don’t know if I felt depressed, but I didn’t expect to have a good outcome and I guess I just accepted that. I was surprised when things worked out. I wasn’t really depressed after the birth, but had a hard time connecting over the first few weeks and didn’t feel the way I thought I should be feeling. It took me a few weeks. Good luck with everything.

Answer

I had a rough first pregnancy and after baby came I felt so much better. This pregnancy is going great but I’m still so ready to be done. I’m just not a good pregnant person 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
Rather just have baby here.

Answer

As soon as all the damn pregnancy/new mom hormones left my body and I had an idea of what I was doing, it was great. But just know that the first few weeks after baby is born are hard mentally in a lot of the same ways that pregnancy is. Just remind yourself that those crazy emotions are coming from the hormones and they'll be back to regular soon and you'll be good.

Answer

I had a very cruisy first pregnancy but went two weeks overdue and found those last weeks so hard! I was seriously depressed, I felt like crap and just wanted her out with me. Once she arrived I was so happy, I had never felt love like that before for anyone! Having said that, I really struggled with the transition into motherhood. I knew it would be hard but I just didn’t even feel like a person anymore. I was there 24 hours a day purely to keep this little person alive and happy. I was obviously happy to do that but did struggle as things I’d taken for granted before were just so hard! Like taking a shower without rushing, eating a hot meal with two hands free. Even just going somewhere alone! I didn’t realise how much I didn’t feel like “me” anymore until my baby got a bit older and slightly less dependent on me and I could do those things again. I would have never changed anything for the world though ❤️

Answer

I had a very emotionally rough pregnancy but I was still always happy about my little bean and he has been the light of my life ever since he was born.
