Pregnancy Blues

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
I have a love/hate progestorone. I love it because I need it to sustain a pregnancy. I hate it because as soon as that hormone hits my body I get the blues. I can usually manage it for half the month, but when right now I'm looking at the long stretch ahead of me. And honestly I'm filled with dread. I feel so down and depressed. Not just a tiny bit emotional, but really emotional, and rarely the happy kind of emotion. Usually the sad kind of emotion mixed in with a few angry types, but usually just sad.
I've been so down the last few days, crying at the drop of a hat. It doesn't help that I'm really worried about this pregnancy. I have had irritable uterus with both my previous pregnancies, and had to go on semi bed rest starting at 26 weeks with dd2. The only thing that makes me feel somewhat happy and energized is when I excercise. And I was reading more about irritable uterus today and it looks like more often then not the contractions start coming earlier and earlier with each pregnancy. That scares the bejebbers out of me.
Anyways I'm just feeling down and wondering if anyone else gets that way when they are pregnant too.

ok thank you for posting that. because i.feel.the.same.way

i keep on telling myself that i'm just feeling like this because i'm anxious about the baby being a sticky and that it will go away once we see a heart beat. and i have my huuuuge licensing exam next week that i feel a boat load of self and outside pressure to pass. but what if its not really totally true.
i even felt bad posting before on our DDC because i was like, wow that was a super bummer of a posting.

i just wanna be a happy pregnant woman who is patient with ds and loving with dh....but i'm like this ball of mean mommy eeore or something.
when is this going to mellow out?? mannnnn

Well, I'm not sure if I can blame the progesterone, but I do feel pretty poo-pah.

Supposedly it gets better...right?

Pregnancy is hard on me emotionally too. Usually it gets a little better near the second half of pregnancy for me... we'll see.

Well, it makes me feel better to know that I'm not alone. I don't remember it being this bad with dd2, but I do remember feeling really down with dd1. I'm trying to remember but failing, I think it does get better in the second half of the pregnancy. I'm hoping it does anyways. 's all around!

I am in the same boat here. The progesterone has me completely freaked out! I am convinced that it's the only reason I am having "symptoms". I am thinking about calling and getting another beta done today because I don't think I can wait till the 12th for the u/s to know if everything is okay.
