The blues...

in Pregnant after 35
Anyone else having the blues during pregnancy? I feel guilty for feeling this way but definitely sad a lot, overwhelmed and stressed (hopefully just hormonal) about our baby, my changing body and lifestyle adjustments. Please let me know if you've felt this way, if it's normal and what you do about it. Thanks!

    I think mood swings are normal, and I have definitely experienced some during this pregnancy. 

    Your body is changing a lot, as is your life, so I think it's perfectly understandable. It's nothing to feel guilt over! 

    If you are really worried, definitely talk to your OB or midwife about it. 

    HUGS.

    Totally know what you mean.  It's very overwhelming.  We are here to listen - and make sure you don't beat yourself up over feeling this way.  Hormones can also do very powerful things.

    It's normal for emotions to ebb and flow throughout pregnancy. However if you feel like it is too much or lasting too long make sure you talk to your doctor. It's better to address it early.

    Glad to hear you're feeling better.

    For what it's worth, I've experienced the same. After years of trying, crying, praying, you name it, I finally got the BFP I'd been longing for.

    But now I can't help but have moments where I wonder if I'm ready to get back into diapers, feedings, middle of the night wakings, etc all over again. DS is 6 and I'd sorta become resolved to the idea that he'd be an only child. I'd also started taking care of myself again, had lost some weight, was feeling good and as much as I can accept that the changes to my body are temporary and wonderful in so many different ways, it's taken some adjusting.

    It is a huge change, but I keep reflecting on the little one on the way and how wonderful it'll be to watch him develop physically and emotionally and I find it helps.
