Antepartum?

Question

Besides having an awful first 8 week appt....my doctor said "oh your more antepartum" .....I looked up this word meaning : before childbirth...(well duh haven't had it yet).....anyone give me some clarification?

Answer

I came across this when I did the following Google search, "does pregnancy cause depression" 
https://www.everydayhealth.com/depression/guide/pregnancy/
I was always looking forward to being a mother and experiencing the whole process leading up to child birth. Problem biology. Well now I'm about 5-6 weeks pregnant with my first. But everyone one else is more happy then I am. At first I thought it was shock or denial. We conceive on our first try. I understand not everyone is as fortunate. 
Sadly I've been feeling so down and removed. On top of being sick and barely being able to to continue with my day to day without needing to lay down. Consistent headaches make me loose focus. I just want to sleep all day. I pee 4x a night. Loosing sleep.
Just expressing this I feel like a sore sport. I mean this IS what I wanted. I feel guilty for feeling negative too. I hope it'll pass and I'll be back to my peppy self. I imagine once I see a heartbeat for the first time and feel baby moving about I'll feel more connected and more apart of this experience.
