It’s been a week since I found out I was pregnant. Currently, it’s about 6 and a half weeks in. I feel sad and slightly apathetic about it at times. I think it may be early pregnancy depression, but I’m not sure. The fact that I am pregnant is not sinking in at all. My breasts are not sore at all, and I don’t feel any different. Occasionally I will have a stomach ache or get dizzy, but nothing else. I have this horrible fear that I’m not actually pregnant. Is this normal???? I have my first prenatal appointment in two weeks, and I am anxious and want it to get here already. I feel like something is not right. Help me understand this!!

Ok my twins have turned 11 months today, this has been the best year of my life. I love them very dearly but this last week I have been feeling so down and so miserble but i have no idea why.
I am snapping constantly at my partner, i know i am doing it but yet i still can’t lift my mood.
I’m finding the Twins harder now than when they were first born cause they are constantly on the move and need entertaining! they are fanastic sleepers so it is not tiredness.
I go out to visit people as often as i can and take them to playgroup once a week but i’m even starting to become lazy like i can’t be bothered to go out.
My house is a constant tip and i’m sure my partner thinks i just sit around all day having it easy.
I’ve talked to him and he’s been great, he even took over last night so i could have a bath.
But still this morning i have woken up in the same mood.
Could i be suffering from postnatal depression this late on??? Please help, i’m even crying typing this! what’s wrong with me?? I also turned 30 last week which i found quite difficult and it’s been since then, so could it be that?? although i don’t think it is

I never felt depressed when pregnant with my first child, I rarely cried and I was in a better mood than usual, but my hormones are a wreck this time around. It’s like a freaking roller coaster- I felt great for 2 days- and then for the last two days- i have been balling my eyes out. I hate the way I look and feel and I am dreading wearing shorts- meanwhile all my non pregnant friends are losing weight and looking good-I’m paranoid that my husband thinks I’m ugly- even if he’d never admit it… I was in the process of losing weight and working out when I got pregnant, and because I have had so many miscarriages in the past (4 total) I was told not to over do it- plus I am so tired all the time I feel like even walking wears me out. I haven’t gained any weight on the scale, but my belly is growing and I feel huge and bloated and I don’t know why I care- I am happy to have another baby- but why am I feeling so down and negative? I guess it’s hormones, but I didn’t feel this way with my first child, so this feels wrong. Does any one else feel this way?

I am now 21 weeks pregnant & I think I am seriously suffering from prenatal depression. I’m very embarassed and don’t know how to ask for help from my obgyn or my boyfriend/family.

I’m feeling detached, not happy & like I don’t care about taking care of myself in order to stay healthy for my baby. I find myself hating my body & the way it’s changing & watching birthing stories, crying at how happy these women are & wishing I can feel the same. I force myself to eat… I can’t sleep properly & have crazy dreams. I’ve started to hate my life & all those who love me… I know I love them inside but my brain is fighting my heart. I swear. I don’t want to leave my house and I fear the public.

Does this sound like prenatal depression? What can I do to cope until my Dr’s appointment on Monday & how do I go about bringing up my feelings and concerns to my Dr? Thank you very much for your (hopefully!) caring, non-judgemental responses.
