I can relate to your mood swings one moment i'm happy the next crying. Pregnancy hormones do some weird stuff to us..But once the baby is here it is all worth it. Just try and think some happy thoughts and talk it out. That always seems to help me.

Happy Thoughts..
My happy thoughts would be to get out of this appartment and go somewhere else. I am feeling so chocked up here. I have no friends to go viset, just my parents, and at this very moment, money is so tight, I really cant afford to go over there. Money is going to get better before the baby comes, we wernt expecting this bump in the road, but it will be ok later. But I am going insane. I have always been very quiet and shy, so I have no friends I can turn too. The one friend I had was of 9 years, and she didn't like that I was happy with a guy, and tried breaking us up by saying some horrible things about me!! So my one and only real friend of 9 years is gone. Really I want to talk to her, but she has done this too me with 3 guys now. She is so alone and bitter that she can't stand me being any happier then her. Sad and that now leaves me alone. I just really feel like no body cares about me right now. Sure the father and my parents care, but it doesn't change the fact that I feel compleatly alone right now!! Crying or Very sad

Have you considered support groups? These message boards are one way to vent and get your mind off things, but there may be some activities or groups set up in your area that your obgyn can tell you about. Pick up a hobby, plant a garden now that it's spring time, do whatever you can to keep yourself from going stir crazy. Your hormones are likely magnifying the situation and you are not as deserted as you think. If all else fails, try to get in touch with some old high school friends, or you can email me and hopefully I can help you not feel so alone Laughing

Feeling a Little Better
I am feeling a little better, yesterday I went to my second appointment and when they couldn't find the heart beat with the dopler (i wasn't worried, I knew it was too early to hear it (i'm 11 weeks preggie today)) they gave me an u/s and I got to see the heart beating!! I didn't get to see it the first time, but aww I saw it yesterday!! And then that little cutie did a compleat flip on the screan! It was so funny! I wish I could have felt it. Smile baby is looking good! Then I went to my parents, spent a couple hours with my sister hitting all the baskin robbins 31 flavors for free icecream day! Lol that was fun, then spent almost the whole night at my dads, but leaft at 5 this morning to come home. So I feel so much better where I was out all that time. Thanks for the saport. I am so glad a friend of mine (med student) gave me this web page!!!
