Is this normal?

Question

I am 27 weeks pregnant and in the middle of trying to move while my boyfriend and I are starting the process to buy a house. We haven't really talked about anything other than the moving or buying the house. I also have an 11 year old and an 8 year old that is not his. During my first to pregnancies I don't remember ever being this unhappy or sad. I cry alot. I kind of feel like I am losing excitement for this baby. I feel so drained and huge. I am measuring a week ahead of what I should be. I looked like I could be 8 months pregnant.  My head is just all over the place. I also feel like I can't talk to anyone about it because my family is very judgmental and so is my bf. I just don't know what to do!!

Answer

While it would say it's normal to an extent I would also encourage you to talk with your Dr about it.  Depression in pregnancy can get pretty serious and I believe it increases your chances for PPD.  It's always best to express these concerns with them so they can help you keep an eye on it and guide you through it.

Answer

It's normal. I'm a FTM and I'm 26 weeks and I have felt so depressed and sad this whole pregnancy. I feel like a failure to him already and he isn't even here yet. If you need to talk I'm here.

Answer

I had a mental break down the past two days or at least what I consider for myself a mental breakdown. I feel like I can't complain or be sad because everyone especially my mom is constantly telling me it's not good for the baby and I'm having a baby and that's all that matters. I love my son, more than I've ever loved something before and nothing isn't worth it if he is happy and healthy. However to not feel like I can't be sad about my body and weight gain, not feel like I can't have a bad day is just making me want to scream and cry. I just keep thinking about how soon he will be here and I can feel like I have control over my body and to be able to hold him. His other mami and him are the best things that have ever happened to me and I wish I could get rid of these feelings and soon I will be able to!! You are not alone on your feelings people can be very inconsiderate and forget that you are still a human being and only remember the one growing inside you

Answer

Thank you ladies.  I am very worried about postpartum depression.  I had it with my daughter. I am thinking I should talk to my dr too. I don't want it to get to hard.

Answer

Don't be to hard on yourself. Moving and buying a house are huge and stressful. I would think those added on top of  pregnancy would totally make a person feel as you do. There's nothing wrong with they way you are feeling.

Answer

Try not to get too down. This is my second and I am nowhere near as excited, we just moved, I'm stressed about money and how to afford time off for maternity leave, etc. I feel like this pregnancy has just been non-stop stress with very little focus on the baby. I don't even have any clothes for her yet

Answer

Awe, I'm sorry. Try to think positive thoughts, it could just be the hormones. Maybe find an outlet, like painting or just you time once a week. Maybe even relax with a tiny glass of wine & a bubble bath. Good luck.
