Pregnancy & Birth Discussion

Don't know the techincals about depression but I am SO pissed at almost everyone around me all the time. I am pretty sure it is just me being crabby, but still...you are not alone! Even my friends and family...making me crazy!!! Hang in there, hopefully it gets better.

believe me you're not alone I actually lock myself up in the bedroom to get away from everyone in the house. because I'm too crabby and can't be nice. it's the hormones. it's all good hun just take it easy.

I'm in the same boat. But, in my case I don't think it is just the hormones. I don't get help from my boyfriend with anything, and between the two jobs I already have and trying to help my dad out sometimes, and cleaning, and trying to get stuff done in my own life; I never have a day off.
He thinks it's cute that he calls me " Flip". . . That's supposed to be a joke, but it's not funny because half of the time I'm already ready to kill him. WHat I mean to say without going off on anymore of a tangent is that you can't make it through this without help and maybe the lack of is getting to you.
This is my first pregnancy, and if it continues to be this misearable; it will also be my last. I thought this was supposed to be one of the greatest periods in your life. I guess I misunderstood that.

some get super happy and some get pissy or both off and on. just try to take it easy and not have peolpe over, and after you have the baby go see your doctor about hormon pills to help you even them out.

Trust me that is perfectly normal. I am pregnant with my 3 rd child. And I can get very testy! But then again I live in a very small trailor, with my husband, 2 girls, and my handicapped mother also lives with us since my father past away 2 years ago. Oh yeah, and I work 2 jobs to top all of that off. Sometimes I feel like a straight up B*&%#!!! You will be fine though. Everybody just has to realize that you are pregnant and testy because of your hormones.

I hear everything you all are saying. I am being mean to everyone that i work with. its hard because i work as a cashier and cashier supervisor so i have to deal with B%$#$* customers, dumb cashiers and the ever annoying managers. I also havent really told anyone about my being pregnant and those that i have told come up and rub my belly from behind. its so annoying, i dont mind my boyfriend or close family rubbing my belly, but when strangers that i dont know think that they have all the right in the world to reach across and rub my belly i feel like smacking them so hard. then i get in a bad mood and end up taking it out on people that just dont deserve it.
my boyfriend bought me a shirt that says "Rub the belly, loose a hand". and i have to say that it worked for a little while, but i cant wear it when im working, only when im shopping. i cant wear it alot because i dont want everyone to know about me being pregnant only cause im only engaged and only 17. i also live in a very small town. i cant belive that more people dont know cause im 6 months pregnant and honestly not really showing.
so dont feel like your alone just go to the spa for a day or just walk around the mall. i like to just drive or take the bus cause the soothing bumping shakes the baby to sleep so i get a minute to myself without never ending kicking.

Thank goodness, I was wondering if I was loosing it. I am normally very happy. I have been in this depression slump lately. My job is working my nerves, my husband has been taking care of his dying dad because his brothers cant find the time to help, and on the days he stays with his dad I get so depressed and lonely I am not hungry and if I do eat it wont stay down. I feel guilty, but Iam not doing it on purpose.. I have a school age child so I cant go stay there..please help...

I HAVE BEEN FEELING SO UP AND DOWN DURING THIS MY SECOND PREGNANCY THE FIRST ONE BEING 10N YEARS AGO NOW. mY PARTNER IS 46 I AM 30 WE MET JUST OVER A YEAR AGO , HAD A BIG ROMANTIC FIREWORKS, I FELL PREGNANT HE SAID I WANT YOU TO BE THE MOTLER HER OF MY CHILD AND HAS SINCE RETREATED BACK TO HIS HOUSE WHICH IS QUITE A DDISTNACE FROM, SPENDING MORE TIME APART APPARANTLEY BUSY DOING THINGS ....

This is my first pregnancy and I am glad to hear I am not the only one feeling like this. I was the type of person to always be around people and enjoyed their company. Now I just want to be alone and just be around certain people. I am learning that I have to raise this baby alone because my ex boyfriend like to lie and be with other women. So the hormones and the stress from him has been overwhelming at times. I am now living with my mother again and thanks Goddness for her support because I would be a total mess. When I feel like I get in these crazy moods I pre-warn people so hopefully they won't take it personal. I really do hate feeling like this I hope it passes soon....

you are totally not alone i am now entering my sixth month ans it has been a roller coaster of emotions i get upset because i feel alone a lot. i wake up wanting a good day but it seems that something is always in
y way of that my boyfriend says that it is jus hormoes but i feel as though no one wants fo listen, i am constantly the backbone vor others and at this time i jus want someone to be on my side for a change

I am six mos preg. and am always mad or irritated at everyone some days i never want to leave the house and then others i cant stand to be home i love being pregnant but hate this feeling all the time
