September 2015 Moms

Bittersweet

Good morning September Mommies. I woke up today in another rut. It hit me, I am both upset and happy I am pregnant. I've been crying for a long time to be a real mother. It randomly happened at a crazy time, during crazy situations. Idk why this happened but it did. I thought baby blues only happen after birth but I have been a depressed hermit, crying and all that stuff. I have my happy moments where I'm like go me!go me! Ima woman! Than I am back to look what I got myself into and what the heck am I going to do? Lol. Hot mess! What the shizz. I have been wanting this, it surely didn't happen the way I want it but it's happening.

  • I think it's normal to have a mixture of emotions for any pregnancy. If you feel they are overwhelming you all the time talk tob your doctor. Women can experience post partum when they are still pregnant.

  • Thank you. I think I will have to.
  • I'm the same way.   I totally wasn't expecting this pregnancy.  Was going to get married on the beach this summer, going to start school in the fall, was going to go skydiving in april for my 30th bday... and now all those plans are gone.   I know it will all work out and be just fine.  I got to see baby Tuesday which helped a little... and just being on here with you ladies helps me know this is real and baby is coming.  I'm sure once we tell my family I'll get more excited because keeping it a secret has been a pain as well and been hard to not talk to friends and family about it.

  • @megewy oh man. I feel like that. Plans out the window! Seeing the baby does help and this cyber community. I would be feeling more in a slump if I didn't have that.

    Same here.   We are telling his parents tonight and my parents this weekend....I know they are going to be super excited which I know will help me too.   Just don't understand this "slump" though.... I wanted another one... I guess I'm just too much of a planner!  haha   just need to let go!

  • I feel you ladies. I've battled depression since I was a kid and have managed it without any medications the past 4-5 years. Before I got pregnant, all that was on my mind was having a baby and the idea made me so happy..even euphoric. Now that I am, I hate that depression has hit me back kind of hard. I'm still ecstatic for this baby, in fact I want the next 6 months to hurry up so baby can be here. But many days now I've woken up feeling that despair and sadness. I worry a lot.. worry about how my husband and I are going to do it.. If I'm going to be able to give my child the life I want him to have. I also worry that if I already feel depressed..am I going to get post partum depression even worse? I know part of this is hormes..but blah.
