Hormones or Prenatal Depression?

Keshia

Let me first start off by saying that we wanted this baby and after trying for a while and finding out we’re pregnant, the initial “happiness” and preggo fuzziness has somewhat worn off and that makes me sad.

This is my second pregnancy and I’m 17 weeks pregnant. My first pregnancy I was excited all the time, talking and singing to my baby and so sociable. But with this one sometimes I’m less excited that I’m pregnant and feel sad for no reason, very anxious and antisocial. I honestly don’t know if this is normal the second time around or it’s just because we’ve had a crazy two years (and still do) with Covid that I feel this way. I also have multiple fibroids which do mess with my hormones so it would be great to hear if anyone with a similar experience is going or has gone through this please!

Not looking for judgement … just wanting to know if anyone else is experiencing this? Is it just hormones or something more?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks 😊
