im am 22 and i am 7 weeks pregnant with our first child.the law is bringing up charges that were dropped 7 months ago and he is innocent.if he doesnt give them what they want to know,the minumum of years in prison could be ten years.we won’t know if he’ll be charged for another 4 days. he’s being held until then and i haven’t heard from him yet. being newly pregnant & having health problems on top of that, im afraid that all this worry, sadness, and anxiety could affect my pregnancy. i miss my fiance more then i’ve ever imagined was possible. i dont know where to go for comfort

My fiancee and I split after I caught him with another woman when i was about 15 weeks pregnant. He is now seeing this other girl, and has completely tore me out of his life. He is out every weekend with friends, enjoying his life. While I am working 2 jobs to save up money for our future little girl.

I am a little over 23 weeks now, and I have come a long way… was put on depression meds but still find myself missing his presence.. He never got to feel the baby kick and it hurts. I havent seen him since in 8 weeks. Ive talked to him through phone and told him when my drs appointments were, but he hasnt shown up to any since we were together.

I’m 6 weeks pregnant and work as a high school teacher. I’m finding it really tiring! CAn’t believe I’ve got 8 more months of this. Please tell me it gets easier! Plus, I keep crying-not out of sadness but just emotion. Is this normal?

Constantly hungry, extreme breast soreness at times, late period (by a few days so far), sadness over everything, and horniness all the time. Would anyone say from that that I’m most likely pregnant or could they all just be a coincedence?
Well, I can’t get a pregnancy test, my boyfriend buys all my stuff for me and he’s in denial about the whole thing. He won’t even listen to me he just keeps saying there is no way we could be pregnant. We usually use condoms but there have been a few times we haven’t (twice in the last 2 weeks) but he pulls out when he feels himself getting close, and he says he never pre-cums so that can’t be it. He won’t even take me seriously so he’s not going to “waste” money on a pregnancy test. Much less getting me birth control other than condoms which neither of us like. And though someday I want a baby, I really can’t have one now so it’s not because I want one that I’d be experiencing fake symptoms, possibly because I was afraid of being pregnant though.

I am wondering what the effects are on an unborn baby when you go through so many different emotions. Does the baby feel what you are feeling at the time such as sadness or bliss? What are the potential long term effects to a baby once it is born if the mother has had depression throughout her pregnancy?

About a month ago (my birthday as a matter of fact) I went into the hospital with a tubal pregnancy. Needless to say I was in surgery immediatly and hospitalized for 3 days. I was not allowed to return to work for a month. I had no idea I was even pregnant, and I had mixed feelings at the time. I have a steady boyfriend who I have lived with for over a year, I am 27, and sometimes I really want to have a baby and sometimes I think it’s best to wait. I have no other kids but I am a sort of step mother to my boyfriend’s 7 year old. I am happy with my life but ever since this has happened I have been dealing with feelings of loss secretly. I lost my mom in Dec 2003, and this has also brought back sadness of that as well. I just wish I could snap back out of this funk and go on with living.

I am 18 yrs old, well my Last period was on May 21st, I might have concieved on June 1st, my boyfriend used that “pull out method” but as many know, it isn’t a good method, always a possibility of pregnancy. Anywho, I’ve been throwing up for the past three days, everything I intake upsets my stomach, I seem 2 be constipated everyday now, I feel a sense of sadness, and nothing really bothers me to make me feel this way. I haven’t gotten morning sickness, or tender breasts, dark areola, so not quite sure if I NEED those symptoms to see if I am pregnant. I guess I’m just curious atm, and still waiting it out to see if I miss a period.
sorry u feel that way “stiff” but I actually always wanted to be a mother, I do want the baby, if I am pregnant.

does stress,heartaches,problem,too much thinking,sadness and pain during pregnancy will cause my baby serious problems?pls advice me.i am really afraid.i cant solve this on my own.my husband doesnt care.

I’m now 10 weeks post partum and I’m STIIIIILLLLLL sad that I’m not pregnant anymore. Seriously, at first it was depressing that I wasn’t pregnant, but I figured it was just how it was supposed to go after you had a baby. It went away for a little, but the sadness comes back often. Well, it was going great for the last week or so, until I came back to work and several people just had to “mention” that it looked weird not seeing my pregnant. Of course this all of a sudden brought back a flood of memories here for me at work. I started this new job when I was 7 weeks pregnant. So working here at this job only has the association of pregnancy with me. I can’t remember this job NOT being pregnant, because I was always pregnant while working here. I can’t leave this job because it has great benefits. But, now all I think about when I’m here is the things that went on during my pregnancy while working here. I seriously feel like I’m going nuts. What can I do to stop this?

I’ve been sad on and off during the normal PMS time, but not stressed. When I’m stressed I’m worried. This time I was just crying alot for a few days. Someone made me sad. I know stress can throw off your period, but can sadness throw it off too? I usually get it every 27 days and it’s two days late. There’s only VERY MILD cramps – not like the ones I get when I’m about to start.

Additional factors are that my husband and I have been having unprotected sex. Is the delay more likely from sadness or pregnancy? Thanks.
