another hormone question

Ok so this is my first pregnancy and I am not sure what is going on but I am feeling very sad often and sometimes disconnected from my husband. This has never happened before and he is amazing and attentive. Are the hormones making me feel so all over the place emotionally? I know you can't blame everything on hormones, but my emotions feel out of control.

    That happened to me my first pregnancy. It was terrible because no matter what I felt sad. About. EVERYTHING. I had no idea why. I talked to my doctor, which I suggest you do, and she told me everything that could be going on. After that she monitored me closely and made sure that I was put on medication right after my daughter was born. It helped to stave off a lot of the post postpartum depression I would have had, which I still did, just not nearly to the same degree. Good luck!

    Very normal. This is my third pg and I recognize that everything is magnified when you're pg...i tend to take things very personally that not pg wouldn't bother me at all...namely anything my husband does.

    I over analyze alot of things and overreact alot...lol I just try to keep it in check when I realize its happening.

    Oh, and one thing I noticed is I don't just cry when I'm pg, I "ugly face" cry like a hysterical lunatic...over ridiculous things too!

    thanks guys! I feel a little better. I don't feel bad every day but it is good to know it is normal.

    Totally normal! My husband said "If we can make it through you (me) being pregnant, we can make it through anything!" and that was our 1st pregnancy, 4 years ago. We're on baby #2 (Pregnancy #5) and even though today was mothers day I still felt disconnected from everybody and "sad" or "mopey". I have my good days and my bad, usually it's connected to me sleeping and eating well, or sometimes it's totally random. Hang in there =) I'm sure he knows to be extra patient and super loving when you're feeling like this other little human has completely wrecked your emotional stability!

    I think the way you FEEL you can blame on hormones... But we can't use hormones as an excuse to go all out Mom(to be)zilla/preggerzilla on everyone

    Your hormones are out of whack and can cause a LOT of crappy emotions.

    thanks Katie, I agree even though I feel crazy I try not to take it out on others as much as possible......and if I lose control and cry or get upset my husband knows how to cheer me up :)
