Anyone else experiencing some level of depression during their 1st trimester?

Question

I'm just over 11 weeks and it hasn't been the easiest road to get here. I've been really sick and weak and have admittedly called out of work more than I'd prefer. But during my extra downtime I feel a complete lack of motivation to do much of anything, followed by crippling guilt as the day goes on for not doing anything. Anyone else experiencing this or just me? Open to advice from all :)

Answer

I’m currently 10 weeks and out of work since February 18th due to hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) I’ve been “housebound” since then and unable to do anything in the house, cooking or light cleaning.. 
I go from my bed to the couch (too much movement makes me extremely nauseous), I already suffer from depression and I do find this extremely difficult so I get where you’re coming from but we need to look at it positively.. Resting and not over doing things is pretty crap but it’s also good for baby 👶🏻 
I feel really bad for my partner because he does everything for me but at the same time he doesn’t allow me to do anything because he wants me to rest

Answer

I think the hormones, fatigue and morning sickness make it harder to feel super positive. I’m just so tired and sick feeling and I can’t eat as well as I want which is also making my mood lower. All I want to do is hybernate at home and not be bothered to do anything / be looked after. Try not to beat yourself up for resting at home. You’re taking care of yourself!

Answer

I am so so so incredibly thankful to be pregnant but the severe nausea/ vomiting / bloat/ hypoglycemia is really starting to overshadow it. I feel ashamed because I know im so fortunate but it’s so hard to stay positive while going through this 😢
