I am. My husband is worried about me because Im sinking into it badly. Mine is made much worse by the fact that we are in limbo right now waiting to hear if our baby is going to make it (measuring very small at first ultrasound). I don't even want to move because I just want to sit here and wait for whatever is going to happen to happen.

I am having mood swings, but I would not describe it as depressed. When I called to make my initial appointment they asked me if I was feeling depressed...so I'm sure it happens but it could be concerning. If you're concerned about it, I would talk to your doctor. Pregnancy hormones can do a number on our emotions.

Hang in there mamas!

Yes !!! I was going to make a post about thks as well...idk what is going on with me, I am so depressed but a week ago was crazy excited, my bf is becoming a littlw frustrated bc he doesnt understand why I am so down, and I am so easily ticked off bc of how I am feeling...its a roller coaster that is for sure! My first two were not this way, I was just nauseated. ..good luck! Maybe talk to your dr? My appt is nov. 6th I am going to talk to mine.

Normal occurrences that usually don't bother me, are bothering me and I am much more emotional. I do feel the same feelings as you...swinging from mad/sad to happy/all-is-right-with-the-world mentality. It's the hormones fluctuating as others have said. Regardless, if you are concerned, call your doctor. With my previous pregnancies, this feeling only lasts the first trimester. But, everyone is different!

Yes Im fighting depression. I had bad prenatal depression with my son. I can feel it coming on again but much earlier this time. I may ask about it at my 8w checkup.

Yup, it just hit me in the last couple of days... Not feeling well physically + mood swings.... It feels silly, but it's getting to me. I'm starting to feel that "nothing is good, life is just hardship" mood more and more.

@carolyngrace I'm exactly at your point. Last night I was just sobbing because I've been so darn sick, and just feel "dark". Even though I really have NOTHING to be sad about! I googled prenatal depression and realized it is actually a thing, and then I found this thread.

How on earth do so many women have babies and survive the experience? NOBODY warned me about all of this stuff!

It really hit me tonight. I've been frustrated because I have a cold and can't just take normal cold medicine like usual. Along with that, just being scared because this is my first pregnancy. I have no clue what to expect and it just made me emotional all night. These hormones are no fun!

Yes, prenatal depression is very real! Postpartum gets the most attention, but out hormones are going all sorts of ways right now, and sometimes someone may get prenatal depression instead of postpartum (or even both). Pay attention to yourself and how you're feeling. Don't be afraid to talk to your ob or other provider, especially if you are
Feeling hopeless or like harming yourself. No shame in finding help!
