Feeling Really Low

Hi all, I just wanted to say thank you all sooooo much!!!! I feel alot better than I did, i'm sure it'll probably come back again but knowing that it's not just me helps so much more. Thank you all again, it's so nice that people take their time to help others out on this site, i'm so glad i'm part of it. Deb xx

Its normal. Im only 15 weeks but have cried every day lol. I split from my partner, have 4 other children to care for-not to mention a dysfunctional family, have been constantly run down and picked up every bug going..now i have pleurisy! God does it get worse? Oh yeah..my knees are killing me and it hurts to sit down!
I KNOW everyone is there for me, but i sit and grizzle because i feel so alone. None of it makes sense lol so ive named it 'hormal madness!'.
Yor NOT mental..it shows there's nowt wrong with your hormones lol and your making the most precious thing in this world..do you know how exhausting that is?
Men never fully understand..they are mr 'fix it', and thats what they do best.
You'll be fine honey xxxx

Feeling emotional is a natural part of early pregnacy: especially as this is your first baby. Your life is about to change for ever so it would be odd if you just sailed on as if nothing had happened to you. Panic, worry, feeling needy, tearful, irrational and tired are all fairly normal. These feeling sometimes persist through pregnacy and even beyond- but most women feel happier and more secure by twenty weeks. (If life is not causing their insecurity) It can't help that your partner is not living with you- I'm sure you are right when you say this is part of it and that you will feel better when you can be together. Just keep telling yourself what you have told us- that he loves you, he is looking after you, he is excited about the baby.

Hiya huni,
I have been an emotional wreck thru out this pregnancy! im 28 weeks now and i still get days where i feel like torturing my husband til he's on the verge of death!

Being emotional is part of pregnany but if you feel as tho ya really not coping and can't seem to get yourself out of this mood. if ya like this all the time then it might be a good idea to talk to ya midwife as it is possible to have antenatal depression. There is help out there for you. and you really are not alone!

Thanks hun, i've been told it's normal but just needed some reassurance from someone else. I have a few family probs, and homeless issues and i gave up smoking when I found out i was pregnant, so guessing they're adding to my feelings lol. Thanks again, and I hope you're ok too xx

its normal hun am nearly 35 weeks and ive been like this on and off all way through my pregnancy, ive not had an easy pregnancy with family problems but im sure it will get better for u soon all these hormones flying about us the joys of pregnancy xx

This is probably gonna sound really stupid, I've just got to get this out. I'm feeling so low at the moment and really can't see it getting any better. I'm 17 weeks pregnant and constantly want to cry. I have never felt so down in my life, i'm normally so happy and don't let things get to me, take each day as it comes kinda girl. I don't live with my partner at the moment, we're sorting a place out and hopefully that'll be soon, i think that has something to do with it, i've been really needy with him lately and hate being away from him which I am this week cause he's working nights, he can't even come to the first antenatel tomorrow morning. He is trying to reassure me and looks after me so well but i think i'm starting to bug him. For some reason I get worried he's gonna leave me and i know he won't, i know he loves me and he's working really hard for me and the baby (which he's really excited about). Is anyone else feeling like this? Or am i just mental? I just wanna snap out of it!
