Does Anyone Else Feel This Way?
Posted: 08-15-05 11:56am

I am 27, been married for almost 2 years and 5 weeks pregnant. This was a planned pregnancy.

I should be on top of the world, but I feel quite the opposite. I have problems with anxiety, but over the past few months have gotten it well under control. About 2 days before I found out I was pregnant I started to feel my anxiety acting up and it has gotten progressively worse since.

On top of that, my moods have just been dipping lower and lower. Yesterday I cried for 3 hours straight.

Everyone around me is absolutely elated by the news. Everyone except me. I want to be. 90% of the time when the topic of the baby comes up it makes me want to cry, the other 10% of the time I feel almost indifferent. I just don't get it.

I talked to my doctor today and she recommended I go back on zoloft. Unfortunately though it takes weeks to start feeling the effects from that.

My husband is being supportive, but I just would love to know that I am not alone with this. Can anyone here relate to how I am feeling?

Feel Better...

I am sorry that you feel like this.I am going into 7 weeks and I felt just like that but in my 5th week,i started to feel better and not cry so much.But I had to pray and ask god to help me feel better! Trust me it worked.Then I read the bible more often.I am just telling you what I did because I felt like I was loosing control! I would not take meds for this because it is kinda natural to be emotional during the first trimester of pregnancy.If it was just us,then just about all pregnant women would be taking meds for it.I hope you truly feel better soon...God bless
