Have any women who have already gone through pregnancy feel like…?
Do any women who have already gone through pregnancy feel like the pregnancy, mainly due to the hormones, has ruined their relationship with the father? Has it created tension and ill feelings? Resentment on your part? Resentment on his part? Shame at your behavior during the pregnancy wanting to push away the father to avoid the guilt? Did you alienate the father claiming he is responsible for your depression and sadness? Would this fall into the lines of postpartum depression? Honest answers please. And please no defensive answers because I am just asking a serious question.

you know what,,, that didnt happen to me but i heard it has to others. she should just tell her doctor it’s normal but doctors do ask about it well at least they ask me which like i said i didnt had that put others do well the only thing with me was that i was sentimental emotional and very very sensetive but nothing more and did cried too but its normal.
It is a hard time for a woman to be pregnant. Hormones in addition to morning sickness, carry more “weight”, and having to carry the responsibility or pregnancy is very stressful. Yes, its happened to me. We had a few fights here and there and thoughts of just running away did come to my mind, but in the end after the child’s birth we somehow got over it. Taking care of the baby brought us closer together. DOn’t worry if it’s happening to you. You probably did nothing wrong and it is just the hormones or whatever.
I don’t think so. There were definitely some hard times during my first pregnancy. One time I was vomiting and blaming it on him because we were out late the night before and I didn’t get enough to eat, so I said it was his fault my blood sugar dropped. We had numerous arguments such as that during my pregnancy, but after the birth we were closer than ever. And the thing is, before we ever got pregnant we fought over all kinds of other things! I think most couples do.
Now I am pregnant again, and this time is going a lot better. I am not having the problems I had last time, and we also have learned, after a couple more years of marriage, how to be a little more generous with each other and get along better.
I went through postpartum depression after the birth of my daughter, but I didn’t blame my husband for it. If this is a situation you are in, it could be one of two things. First, perhaps it isn’t postpartum depression but is rather just some tension in your relationship you need to work through. Second, it could be that it is PPD, and while it isn’t your fault per se, your partner feels resentful because you aren’t understanding it or recognizing it properly. Either way, I’d say a trip to a family counselor is a good idea. A counselor will be able to guide you in the right direction for treating PPD, or else help you work through your problems. (And if this is totally hypothetical, just disregard that last bit of advice.)
