Prepartum anxiety/depression a thing?

Katelyn

Hey mamas

I wanted to ask and see if any of you really struggled in the beginning of your pregnancy after finding out? I’ve wanted another baby for years, my oldest is 8. We weren’t trying necessarily but weren’t not trying. I’ve always envisioned having a second baby and thought when the day came I’d be so joyous. But I feel mostly stressed, worried, sad and then guilt. Only sometimes excited. Is this just a phase? Any advice or tips on how to help me navigate these feelings? Does it get easier later on? I don’t remember feeling this way last time and I just want to be able to enjoy this pregnancy.

(I’m 5 weeks so all very new and lots of hormones going on)
