Afraid for myself.

I feel like this is a bit selfish to say, but I have no one to talk to about it.

My pregnancy is making me depressed.

My pregnacy is making me notice that I'm losing my identity as an individual to become bounded to my child and marriage. I love my husband and I'm falling in love with our baby, but once upon a time ago, I was someone who had goals, ideas, and ambition. Now, I feel like all I'll ever be known as is someone's wife or mother. Now my opinions are being questioned because it's not what my husband wants or what I should be doing for our family. What about me? Do I have a right to have an opinion about what I want to do for my family or am I supposed to sit there and become some robot, numb to having emotions or a brain?

They say to enjoy being pregnant. As much as I'm trying, I get stepped on every waking minute on what's best for my family. Making me feel worse than what I do because I don't have those expectations.

I'm lost and I have nowhere to turn. I don't know how to feel.
