Pregnancy emotions Posted: 03-28-08 04:38am
Im 27 weeks pregnant, and starting to get
really emotional. So far up to now ive
been really good, havent had mood swings
or anything but lately ive been all over
the place- one minute ill be fine and the
next ill burst into tears for no reason.
Also im starting to get scared, 3 months
is a long time but it doesnt seem it and
im scared that im gonna be a terrible
mother, and that maybe ive made the wrong
decision in deciding to keep this child.
And i feel smothered by everyone, i keep
getting told "do this, dont do that, your
pregnant so you cant do anything", i try
to tell them that im pregnant not dying
but they dont listen
I cant handle people either I try to take
time out for me but i just end up crying,
im afraid that im just going to end up
depressed and i dont know how to handle
this, so if anyone else is or has
experienced this, id be grateful to hear
your stories and how you coped

Hormones are racing, you're gaining
weight, everyone's shoving their two cents
down your throat, you're gonna be
emotional.
I'm 36wk with my first, and of course I'm
scared I'm not gonna know what to do. But
everyone has told me that instincts kick
in pretty strong after all that pain and
pushing (and not, my sis had a C-section).
I have a little history of depression, so
of course it's worse during the hormone
race.
I think the hormones are most concentrated
between 25-35wks because I was BAD between
them, and now I'm a little more laid back.
Apparently everything you do, it's wrong.
Can't do this, can't do that. If you do
this, this will happen. Women have done
this since the beginning of time, and they
turned out fine. Plus today we have plenty
of medical things to help out if something
does go wrong. And yes, it irritates me
that pregnant woman can't do anything it
seems. Blah blah blah, just ignore people
like that. You know your body, you know
when you need to sit down for a minute, or
drink water, or eat something.
Good Luck sweetie! Just remember happy
thoughts! Example... what color is your
baby's hair/eyes gonna be? how big will
s/he be? is it a boy or girl (if you don't
know)?
