Question and Advice

I wasn't sure where else to post this, but is there a such thing as pregnant depression? I often find myself thinking that I'd be happy if I went into labor today just because I hate being pregnant. I never thought I would hate it. When the dr told me I would have difficulties maintaining a pregnancy due to an incompetent cervix, my world was crushed because I always wanted to be a mom and experience pregnancy. This pregnancy, however, was not planned and I have found that I've pretty much hated being pregnant for all but maybe 2-3 weeks of it. There was a short time where I was happy with being pregnant. Otherwise, I hate my body, the way it has affected my marriage, the way it has affected my lifestyle, pretty much everything except feeling my lil guy move. Any advice?

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone (sorry you feel the same way I do though!)

 I'm sick of feeling like I could cry at any second, I'm sick of feeling like my husband sucks when he doesn't do anything but give me the world! I just wish I could be done with this roller coaster!!

The worst part of all is that I've had a relatively easy pregnancy. Aside from aches & pains and heartburn it's been great health wise.

 

I'm just scared this is the begining of post partum depression!!

I would talk to your doctor about it at your next appointment.  I have the same problems, so I mentioned it to my doctor last week and she went ahead and put me on antidepressants.  She wants to try to avoid PPD.  She said if we can start taking care of it now, my chances of suffering real bad from PPD would be minimized.  And trust me...get it taken care of now if you can.  Once that baby comes you will want to be as stable as possible!
