What is wrong with me???

Question

Honestly, I thought pregnancy was going to be such a blissful time and I would feel nothing but joy all the time. 
I'm an emotional wreck, I have been crying non stop last night and today and I honestly dont know why. I know I'm probably stressing the baby too but I just dont know how to fix my brain. 
I am either just enraged and mean to everyone for no reason or I'm crying hysterically for hours. 
I just don't know what to do anymore.

Answer

With my first baby I had a really hard time adjusting to the idea that pregnancy is actually harder than people make it sound. I kept feeling like something must be wrong with me because I wasn’t happy at all, much less blissful. Now that I have my son in my life, I wouldn’t do anything different and I love him so much. But it took a while even after he was born before I started to feel better. Looking back on it, I’m pretty certain I had postpartum depression. Counseling really helped me see that there’s nothing wrong with me - my experience is normal and doesn’t always get talked about openly. Kids are great, but the process by which they are created and born is REALLY HARD work for mom. You don’t have to like being pregnant to love your baby. Your feelings are valid and normal. There’s nothing wrong with seeking help as well. Where I live, there is free counseling available through non-profit organizations for those that don’t have access to mental health care through insurance. There’s also a state program where a public health nurse can visit moms and babies to help, or just be someone to talk to. If you feel up to it, maybe it’d be good to find out if these tools are available in your area or maybe ask a trusted friend or family member to find out for you. Hang in there. It does get better.

Answer

9 months pregnant? Bliss? Nope! Try torture lol
Seriously though, your body is going through A LOT getting ready for labor, your hormones are all over the place and your body is uncomfortable. 
Try increasing self care. Drink a ridiculous amount of water, make sure you're eating well including natural sugars, rest more. The more taxing you are on your body, the more cranky you'll be.

Answer

Pregnancy is hard. Hormones are no joke! It’s normal to not feel sunshine and rainbows all the time. 
However, if you feel overwhelmed or like it’s more than you can handle, it could be prenatal anxiety or depression. I know this says postpartum, but you can experience these things prenatally as well. If any of this sounds like you PLEASE mention it to your doctor. It’s totally ok if you’re going through this, but you can’t do it alone. It’s ok to ask for help.

Answer

Me TOO! 😬 i feel like just crying today normally I am happy but I feel really overwhelmed, agitated, and a little angry.

Answer

I have never had a joyful bliss this is my 4th and all I can say is pregnancy sucks but that baby is worth it. The emotional rollercoaster does end I guess it different for everyone with me it not until a few weeks after birth.
