I am currently almost 18 weeks pregnant. My first child is six. My pregnancy with him was breeze. This time around I have had extreme fatigue, aches and pains, reflux, bad moodiness, depression, bladder infections, and now am in near constant pain (my doctor says due to my tilted uterus growing). Anyone else have a nightmare pregnancy? Did it last a full 9 months? And what were your symptoms?

Why do they need to know how many sexual partners I have had in my life, or if I’ve ever had a miscarriage or suffered from depression or if I have ever been abused….I hate writing private things down and it really ticks me off.

Just wondering.

I had my baby a month ago and haven’t had sex since,but i did have sex during my pregnancy. I’ve heard of people getting pregnant while being pregnant (superfetation) but it is rare and i’ve only heard of it happening during the first few months. I know it seems stupid, but i don’t know what else it could be. Could stress cause some symptoms like pregnancy or is it something else altogether?

I’m 32 weeks w/ baby #1. I have GAD (general anxiety disorder) and was on meds for it 2 yrs ago then tried a couple different kinds late last year (unsuccessfully, so I stopped- didn’t like them/didn’t help like the pills I had a couple yrs ago). So I’m pregnant now and my anxiety seems to have worsened and I don’t want to take meds while still carrying… Yes, anxiety comes w/ pregnancy but it’s worse with GAD and really bothering me. I’m wondering about tips to manage my anxiety (no attacks, just small episodes that are coming more frequently) and ways to cope or settle down. Any input from experience?

I am VERY excited for my first child/son to arrive in the first week of May. I can’t wait to see him and hold him. But another part of me is beginning to feel quite sad that my pregnancy is almost over. I was extremely sick for the first trimester and part of the second, and even now, I still get sick a few times a week, sometimes a couple times a day. It’s been rough in many ways. But I LOVE feeling my son move around inside of me. I LOVE having him with me everywhere I go, and knowing he is safe, warm and protected. I LOVE that he is my own little honey in there right now. So part of me is dreading the big day. I feel that I may be quite sad, and suffer some post partum depression.
Am I the only one feeling this way? And if not, how have any of you dealt with this sadness?
Thanks for all the good answers. I am 27 Weeks, 5 Days pregnant, so I do still have a little ways to go. And I’m sure like many of you, as I get closer, I will be so uncomfortable that I will want him born right away. I do think it scares me to think of having him in such a crazy world, and that may be part of why I love knowing he is safe and warm in my womb. I guess I will just enjoy it while I can and look forward to the new experiences that will come after he is born. I’m just glad to know that I’m not alone in feeling a little sad about it ending.

I wish you all very healthy baby’s.

My daughter is 1 weeks old today and I feel so overwhelmed and somethimes depressed. I love her with all my heart, i have never felt a love like this before, but I feel like I need a break already. I was diagnosed with prenatal depression when i was 35 weeks pregnant and the zoloft has been working, i just feel like they may have to up my dosage. This has been the happiest time of my life, but it has also been the scariest. Anyone else feel like this?

It’s been a month and a half & i feel liike dying. & everytime i see someone else pregnant i feel worse. I cant talk to anyone because no one understands. Help? :’(

I have OCD, anxiety, and depression – I’ve had it since I was 14 and I’m 21 now. I’ve been treated for it since 14 years old too. When I found out I was pregnant, I came off my behavioral meds for the baby’s benefit. Now, I’m 15 weeks pregnant and can hardly get up in the morning. I don’t want to do anything. I don’t care about my house being dirty, I don’t care about the fights I’m having with my SO, I don’t care about anything that I should care about anymore. I don’t have the energy to do the simplest tasks. Sometimes I want to swallow a huge dose of pills and just check out – I’d never do that because I love my unborn baby, but I’m seriously suffering. How am I going to get through the rest of my pregnancy like this?

Wondering if its just me? Not depressed about having a baby, but depressed about things that never used to bother me untill now? Normal?
