Hi everyone! I'm new here and this is my first post. I am kind of just looking for a place where I can talk to other expecting mothers; none of my friends are expecting, and most have either never had kids or are older with kids nearly my age! I have one little girl, and I suffered extreme mood swings, depression, and hormonal challenges both during and immediately following that pregnancy. I'm only five weeks in on this one and I am already sad, angry, upset, irritated, crying all the time, and discouraged that the thought of eight more months of fatness, eating, inability to take my psoriasis meds, sadness, crying, anger, inability to enjoy a glass of wine or a hot bath, and every other thing in the world that sucks about being pregnant. I am sinking quickly into a black hole of emotion and I do not want to!!! I want to be happy and excited like most other expecting mothers!! Has anyone else experienced this or know what I do to help the sadness and despair?!

Me Hun, I had a major meltdown today. The first trimester is stressful enough as it is without your other worries. Easier said than done but try and keep yourself busy, organise things to look forward to to keep your mind busy. Hope you manage to relax a little and enjoy being pregnant xxx

I would definitely talk to your GP. There are safe medications you can take that may really help. It's not nice to feel like that.
I would focus on one day at a time, don't think ahead too much, and try and enjoy a little thing everyday (a walk, a treat, your fave film). Be kind to yourself. Hormones are awful at times. Your body is doing an amazing job so try and focus on the positives whenever you can.

So sorry to hear you are feeling so down at the moment Faith. I'm sure there is plenty of help around, talk to your GP or Midwife if you can.
I too have been an emotional wreck the last couple of days, my hormones are raging havoc. I'm sure t will get easier, and like the lovely ladies above said; take one day at a time , small steps
I hope you feel better soon!
Sending hugs your way!
