@Alaina what if it doesn’t go away though? What if the baby is born and I just don’t want it?
yes!! this is exactly how i feel we were trying only for abt two months when we got it. Now it’s like im having the most aweful thoughts sometimes. I can’t even function anymore i have to force myself out of bed. Just hit 12 weeks yesterday.
Yes, I felt this way. It’s prenatal depression. Similar to postpartum depression. Hormones are wild during pregnancy
I think our hormones tend to play tricks on us and make us feel unsure and freaked out a little bit. I think you need to take a day for yourself doing things that you use to that you throughly enjoy and maybe having that breather will help you feel more aligned and in tune with your pregnancy ❤️
It’s the hormones I promise it gets better! It should shift by week 16!! Xx
Being pregnant sure can be miserable for a lot of people, myself included. It doesn’t help that the media makes it seem like pregnant women should be glowing and bouncing around with joy. Many of us feel very sick, and the hormones and life change can make us depressed too.
i keep telling my girlfriends im in a depression bubble lol i feel you, i wanted this for sooo long but i’ve been so sick that i’m like why did i even want this? do i even want this???? but it is what it is now and im just trusting that its hormones and eventually i’ll be super excited like everyone says… but for now yes the doubt, scared, regretful feelings are real but i just tell myself its hormones! Definitely doing something that makes you feel good gets it outa my head for a while so i forget im pregnant and tell myself im not going to loose who i am just because i become a mom. goodluck girl you’re not alone 💕
We had a loss last December and now I’ve just hit 12 weeks. I felt just like you’re explaining for the entire duration up until a few days ago. You’re not alone! 💕 I truly believe it does get better. Just hang in there and chat with others who can relate and give you support. It’s rough and I don’t think it’s talked about enough. It’s okay to feel this way!!
