Pregnancy Info HOME

How far along are you?? I just want to say that I'm married, I like my job and my Mom is always here for me BUT up until about 3 months ago I felt really depressed as well. My friends were all going out and doing things w/o me. People stopped calling. It's like b/c I'm pregnant I'm disabled. As long as you're not having any suicidal thoughts or anything I think you're fine. I hope you can find someone to talk to and I do feel for you. I just wanted to tell you that it does get better. I think it's all your hormones taking over. When your baby gets here I feel like you'll realize it's all worth it and you'll be full of love and hapiness. Good luck to you.

Thanks Gena...I'm 5 months and hopefully it will get better but yeah like you said...friends stop calling...like they dont even care that i'm pregnant and i feel like i have to force my fiancee to stay home and hang out with me and I just feel so over whelmed and so alone...who knew being pregnant would be so depressing?

I know that this might sound mean but maybe the people you thought were friends are really not true friends. I just turned 20 and I am 24w along and all my friends think that this is the greatest thing. Sorry if that makes you sad but it might just be the truth coming out. I really home hope you feel better. Fiancee wise I am right with you, I can't stand him andget mad at him over stupid c___p I just hope he relizes that I don't mean it and that I really do love him! if you want to talk my addy is pigletcamm (at hotmail dot com)

I def. agree that when you're pregnant you find out who your true friends are. Some were jealous of me for being pregnant b/c they were having trouble ttc, but it took us 16 months so it's not like it came easily. And I think that was part of the depression for me b/c it took so long and then it happened and it was such a shock. I hope you feel better soon shygirly, just know you're not alone.

I feel depressed sometimes too. My husband will ask me why I'm crying and I usually can't give him an answer because...I DON'T KNOW WHY!!! Just hormones. I had a friend that I grew up with and she used to always get mad at me for absolutely nothing. She was happy acting when I told her that I was pregnant. She sent me a congratulations card and because I did not call her and thank her for a card within 5 days, she has nothing to do with me anymore. We are both 25 years old, but it makes me feel like we are in high school again. Unbelievable!!!

shygirl! You are feeling SO normal. Its a big deal being pregnant, your body is changing, hormones fluxing and your life is about to change..but I promise you...its for the better. There is nothing more joyful than being a parent. Its not joy, like when youre out having fun, being carefree...its work...but its fun and pure joy too. Its what you make of it. So relax...and do something for YOU. Please. Take a prenatal yoga cla__s so you can talk to other preggos! You need some comraderie. Dont ask your fiance if its okay...just sign up and do it. FOR YOU..b/c you deserve it mama.

You didn't make a mistake. My emotions get really intense at times too! Some of my friends stopped calling me too, and it makes me feel sad because it makes me think they view me as a birden because I can't drink and party anymore. I found out that one of my friends was upset because she doesn't have a stable boyfriend and all her friends are either getting married or having kids. Sometimes I feel sad and i don't even have a good reason why. My bf is very supportive but he still doesn't completely understand my emotions. Try to be optimistic and everything will work out great! Just remember that you are growing a miracle in your body, and try to praise the good things like your fiancee. I spend a lot of time focusing on what I believe are the negative things in my life, when there's so much to be thankful for. I talked to my bf and everytime I feel sad I'll call him, my mom, or his mom and they do a great job of saying something nice to make me feel better. Maybe talk to someone you can trust about your feelings, that you can also call whenever to help with your sadness. Hope this helps!

I'm figuring out that i've gotten way to emotionally dependent on my fiancee and i guess it's because he's really the only one that i have around who keeps me company. And when he has something else that he wants to do without me i get soo upset and i hate when he's not with me, i get so lonely. and i'm not usually like that at all. I'm usually VERY independent but i just feel like i have nobody else. My friends will call occasionally and say they want to hang out but when the time comes something else always comes up. Just everything in my life, i feel so sad and depressed about and when i get angry, especially if i'm angry with him about something i just go over the edge and want to hang myself. I know these feelings arent healthy and i'm afraid i'm hurting my baby because they say it can feel the same emotions that you feel. Should i go on anti-depressants or something? I dont want to feel like this. I try not to be and i try to be happy and i swear i was never a very depressed person but i want to cry almost everyday and i dont know what to do...i'm just so sad and overwhelmed all the time and i'm 5 months now! :(

sorry i dont mean to depress anyone else...this is just my way of venting...you can ignore me
