Who else has got the first trimester blues??

Question

I feel soo guilty writing this, I have wanted to get pregnant for so long and I’m 9+6 now and I feel really down and fed up :( I never expected it to hit me like this, and when I say hit me I mean like with 40 tonne lorry, because that’s how I feel! 
The nausea is getting too much, I have vomited at least once every day this week (all at different times of the day as well which is lovely!) 
I’ve been signed off work for two weeks by the doctor but I’m pretty sure all my work colleagues just think I’m faking it and I hate it that people think that of me, if I’m one thing I’m definitely not a ‘faking it’ type of girl, I usually work through all my illnesses! 
The exhaustion is ridiculous! I struggle to even do the most basic of things. 
Obviously I do not regret getting pregnant, I just want this part to be over with, I’m so fed up and depressed. I’m also pretty sure the at first super excited dad to be is getting bored with hearing me moan and be so negative. I feel bad that I’m not my usual self :( 
I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling this way, but would love to hear from people who can actually sympathise with me and genuinely understand how I feel!

Answer

Thank you for speaking out. I totally hear you. I pretty much begged my husband to agree to start a family, cried nearly every month for a year when my period started, and at 9 weeks pregnant I feel guilty saying how miserable I am at all! I work 10 hour days and can barely stay awake in the evenings, let alone do anything fun. He tried to take me out for dinner for my birthday last week and I cried at the table because I felt so sick. I couldn't eat anything. I, too, look forward to when this part ends. You are not alone!

Answer

I don’t even think it’s depression, I think it’s just being sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time LOL
I’m in the same boat...7+5 and I am nauseous all day every day. I never feel like myself anymore. I try so hard not to fall asleep at work and everything I try to eat makes my stomach so upset. My poor husband all I do is complain to him!! I’m over the moon to be pregnant and do not regret it in the slightest and can not wait to have our baby in my arms :) but oh my lordddd I’m sooo ready for this part to be over!!!

Answer

I had prenatal depression with my second daughter. I didn’t even know that prenatal depression was a thing. I had to be honest with my husband and help him understand how I was feeling. He was extremely supportive and helped me whenever I felt overwhelmed. I also have a mom that experienced postpartum depression so she knew how to help me. It was especially hard because I had a 1 year old that needed me. I surrounded myself with people that I could trust and I knew would support me. Be honest with your doctor, we honest with your spouse and with anyone else that you can trust to support you. Hang in there mama! You’re not alone. It will pass. By 20 weeks I was much better. You got this!

Answer

Morning sickness makes our life so miserable, that we can’t even think happy anymore. I feel that anyone who has this slow long term exhausting hangover will get depressed. I feel super down every day, the only thing that keeps me going is knowing that it will hopefully stop soon. We are strong! We will enjoy our food again! (;

Answer

Yep, I am 7 weeks and I've been bed ridden for the past week. I can barely hold down any food or water, and the medicine they gave me for nausea makes me sleep all day, and doesn't even help that much. I feel AWFUL and I'm already so over it. I'm cramping all the time, my tummy is achy from vomiting so much, I'm weak, tired, and I just want to eat and spend time with my daughter 😭😔 poor thing has a three day weekend and she's stuck sitting next to me in bed all day while daddy works.

Answer

My first trimester and first half of my second were horrible. I had morning sickness super bad up until 18 weeks. I'm 20 weeks tomorrow and I have a lot more energy, motivation, and excitement about being pregnant now. Plus a bump!! Don't worry, it will get better.

Answer

It’s completely normal to wanna be over it. I’m in the same boat. We just need to look at the finish line. Which is hard to do when you’re miserable. I keep imagining my baby in my arms 💕 wish you the best!

Answer

It's very very very common to experience slight depression during your pregnancy due to the hormone fluctuations. I'm not sure why not all clinics are this way, but my doctors office has me take a depression screening every 2 months during my pregnancy, and if I need help they arrange the appointments for me to get screened and some possible medication to help. It's nothing to feel guilty or ashamed about. It's super common! Talk to your doctor asap. :)
