Been TTC for over a year... and now I'm unhappy. What is wrong with me?

Sarah • Mommy [ 2016 ] and [ 2020 ] ☀️ ☕️ 🙏🏻 🌸

I am definitely not feeling myself.

Maybe it's the 24/7 nausea.

I've been so happy and so excited about this baby. We've been trying for so long and it truly is a miracle. But today I woke up and I am feeling unhappy.

How can I feel better? I'm blaming this awful nausea. Nothing seems to be working. Please help me. 😢😢😢

I felt the same way at first. Like, I was excited when we first found out, and the more I started feeling bad, I suddenly was so depressed I was pregnant. I blame the nausea and the hormones too. I'm starting to feel better about things and I'm really hoping by the 12 week mark, that it'll be a different story altogether. Hang in there! You are certainly not alone!

Just be assured that it's normal, dear. It is completely understandable to have some feelings of ambivalence about pregnancy and bringing a child in the world, despite how long you have been trying. Emotionally, you will go through phases throughout your pregnancy. This is one of them! Don't feel like something is wrong with you individually. Recognizing your feelings is very important!

I've been feeling the same I'm 9 weeks today and finally had a good day. I just keep saying I can't wait to get to the 2nd trimester so these hormones level out. Every hour is different with my mood try to remind yourself the influx of hormones your getting and don't be so hard on yourself. There is a light at the end of the tunnel ;)

I've been setting my expectations small as well, my homes a mess I don't feel like cooking so I just make small tasks I'd like to accomplish instead of feeling guilty for not getting stuff done

You poor thing! Nausea is definitely to blame. It will all be worth it once you have your beautiful baby in your arms. Might be worth a doctor visit to help with the nausea.

Nausea is definitely to blame.... I've been there with my daughter's pregnancy. I actually looked up if abortions were covered under Tricare... That's how bad it was. I wasn't in my right mind. Talk to someone, talk to your Dr as well to see if they can give you something for your nausea.
