extreme depression during early pregnancy? I’m worried?
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

not to be negative, i want to help you. why don’t you leave him if it’s gonna be like that? maybe you can find a one of those special places like at the Y while you finally find something better. and i KNOW you will! please, just keep on going, you’re so valuable & your little one will appreciate it. you can tell him/her the story when he’s old enough & you’ll see how beautiful and sweet things are.
I hope those feelings will pass. I am bi polar and now 31 weeks pregnant and cant take my medicine so I kinda know what you are going thru. Also I have been trying for medicaid for a long time and keep getting hung up on waiting for stupid paperwork from a trust fund.
I havent seen an obgyn this time around, I have gone to the ER so I could get an uktrasound and hear the heartbeat, but I worry about the babies well being.
I just keep thinking if I keep trying to make things better they will eventualy get better. I gave up for a bit, from feeling hopeless, but now I know things need to get done and no one can do them but me.
I am a believer in letting yourself feel your emotions and not trying to Just be positive, just dont let yourself get so low that you cant find your way back up.
Know that sress isnt good for the baby, or you, so try to self improve enough for both yours and babies health.And maybe your miscarriage has something to do with it, maybe you are worried that it may happen again.
You can use your temp. medical to see doctors, so I would say make appointments and see the obgyn as much as you are supposed to so they can set your mind at ease.
I wish you the best of luck!
Ok, so you are only six weeks? This CAN be the worst part of a woman’s pregnancy simply because you are basically getting in these boatloads of hormones dumped in your system each day, every week. After the first trimester, you’re levels should balance out and you should get used to it all. However, I’m guessing that you have been having issues with your happiness since before your pregnancy. It may sound odd, but you are alienating yourself honey. I’ve been there, and I know that you are so clouded in this sadness and confusion that you don’t see a way out, so I hope I can help. You can turn this around into a happier situation, all by yourself! Don’t think like “Oh, the pregnancy is this bad so far, it’s just gonna get worse and worse from here” See this stage as a bump you have to get over, and after that, it’s all downhill! Plus, when you are happy, so is your baby. If you are too stressed out or sad in your pregnancy, you share those sad chemicals and stress hormones with your baby, so think about your baby, too. Things will work themselves out. Try to understand your insurance a little better, it might take some stress off you! I know I never really understood mine, and you don’t want to be in my shoes right now! I don’t have insurance anymore but at least my six-month-old does. Take care, and keep us posted! Pregnancy is a beautiful, wonderful, magical experience if you let it be
