am i suffering pregnancy depression?
My boyfriend thinks iam being silly, but i found out a was pregnant with my second child last week, i am only 7 weeks pregnant and we’v decided to keep it which is what i want to do. But i feel soo different from last time i was pregnant i was so happy last time.But for some reason now i am extremely irritated by everything and blow my head of at my boyfriend if he says sumthing like ‘did you wash my black t-shirt’ i just go mad and think hes saying iam a bad houswife.I am extremely tiered. yesterday my daughter stayed at her grandparents 4 the day and ijust slept all day, i woke up by a phonecall at 4 0 clock asking if i want my baby back yet. i felt so awfull. I cant be bothered to eat,food just seems boring to me.i dont know why. the tiniest jobs seem massive and i get so upset and cry over the washing up etc.I dont want to talk to anyone.I hate it when people start talking to me and i dont know why cos iam usually very sociable.iam very angry. is this just pregnancy hormones?

I too am 7 weeks and I cry heaps, and feel ike crap. just worry heaps. Im only 20 and this is my first. My partner is always on the bad side of me and i dont know why and when he says stop beign so hormonal i just blow up. Its normal you’ll be fine. you’ll find your happiness.
you’re not a bad person, you just need your space at the moment.
Girl, I am the same way..I hope it’s just pregnancy hormones. I blow up at my Fiance for everything..and I don’t even mean it. He cheated on me a couple weeks ago and I feel like it’s totally my fault for being such a frikken bitch =[ and that has just made me even more depressed. I am 37w+5d pregnant now, and ever since I’ve gotten pregnant I am easily irritated and upset. It has pretty much torn apart the good hapy relation ship I had with my Fiance. =[ It makes me sad. All we can do is hope and pray that things will work out and gett better.
Good luck and congrats on the new baby!
It is just your hormones going into over drive. don’t worry. it will get better. i was that way with my second child. it could be because you were surprised by the pregnancy and it was just unexpectant you know things happen just remember everything happens for a reason. time heals everything.
it sounds like depression – maybe it’s stress related as well as hormonal though and you need time to adjust to the news. If you have a history of depression I would consider talking with your dr though as it may only get worse and make homelife miserable since your logic is working fine but your rationality isn’t. Hopefully it’s temporary and/or due to hormones bouncing and you just need time somewhere in that big brain to digest your news.
I know exactly what you are feeling. For the first few months of this pregnancy I was scared of myself. I would become volatile over the stupidest things. I was depressed and I didn’t know how to snap out of it. It sucks all the excitement out of being pregnant. My Dr. prescribed me medication but when I researched and saw all the side effects I refused to take it. I told my husband that I didn’t want to take the medicine and we would have to get through this together. That meant if I say I need to go for a walk right now, don’t ask questions and don’t be rude. There were times I would have to go in the bedroom, shut the door and watch T.V. alone just to calm down. I have a three year old and while I felt like it wasn’t fair to him for me to hide away I knew it also wasn’t fair for me to fly off the handle at him for no reason. I would talk to your Dr. and see what they suggest. Mine suggested walking to the point of breaking a sweat to release the hormones and frustration. Good luck, I hope you start feeling better.
