www.nucleusinc.com This 3D medical animation depicts an amniocentesis procedure to test the amniotic fluid during pregnancy. This is performed to let doctors detect or rule out problems with a baby’s health long before birth. An ultrasound is to create an image of the fetus and nearby structures on a computer screen, before choosing a safe place to insert the needle. A thin needle is then introduced through your abdominal wall, into your uterus, and into the amniotic sac to withdraw a small sample of amniotic fluid. ANH0009
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?

The resulting depression–how it is experienced, and how it might be relieved–is the subject of Natasha Mauthner’s insightful and compassionate book, which recounts the stories of new mothers caught between a cultural … More >>

I feel extremely lost and alone. I know in the rational part of my mind that I’m not alone, but I have these feelings and thoughts that are starting to worry me. I went to the ER last night and was diagnosed with hyperesemis. I can’t help but think that NOBODY has had a worst pregnancy than myself at JUST 6 WEEKS. I’m sad and I dont feel like I can function. I feel like I’m on the verge of losing my mind and if I do my husband will leave me…he has laughed and told me time and time again that he’ll never leave my side,. but I’m starting to feel alienated and this feeling like I’m not myself anymore. I don’t know what to do or how to get support since I am not on any health care system as of now. I have temporary medi-cal but I don’t know anything about it and I am getting scared for myself. please, some words of encouragement. I cant stop crying…I don’t feel like I’m ready for this baby, even though it’s all I wanted before I was pregnant. I suffered a miscarriage 6 months ago, and here I am. The pregnancy is healthy as far as I know. Before I had no pregnancy symptoms and now I have every symptom in the book. I’m alone and sad. help plz. it will be SO much appreciated.
Thank you diana…I read what you said over and over and I really appreciate it

I’m 20 wks pregnant, today we was suppose to be finding out what we was having, and have our first ultrasound.. I’m on passport.. When I got to my dr.s office she looked up at me and told me I can’t be seen today unless I have 200 hundred dollars for my ultrasound, I asked why and started to freak out.. Today was a special day for me and my family. This is my first baby.. After constantly crying I called passport myself I was signed up for a 3 month passport that lasted from Feb-April, but in March I went and signed up for the real deal passport/Medicaid. Instead of “fusing” the temp passport and full term passport they canceled it.. She told me it would be reinstated within 24-48 hours.. So I had to make my ultrasound scheduled. 9 days from today.. I know I will still get it, but I’m so upset over it.. I cried all the way out the door, all the way home, I cried myself to sleep, woke up with bad dreams crying about that baby.. I went pee crying, and ate my dinner crying..
Everyone keeps saying my depression is bad, but I think it’s their fault that I’m so upset about this..
Should I mention this to my Dr when I see her and get on some medication? I looked it up, and there is depression medication for pregnancy.
I get these waves of sadness to the point of where I cry and cry for no reason what so ever, it happens whenever I am home alone. But I don’t see why I get so upset over nothing when I am so happy with my life. I live with my amazing boyfriend that is my whole world, we’re having a baby together (I know it’s not hormones from the pregnancy, because this would happen pre pregnancy as well) and everything is great… could I have depression??
