Yep, I'm a crazy lady. Inbetween feeling as though my body has been run over by a truck, and the stress of wondering if my baby is OK, I'm surprised I don't have grey hairs! Blame it on the hormones, they're my scapegoat :)
Something that has really helped me to deal with all the up's and down's of pregnancy is to chat to other pregnant women. I do this on a site called Baby Wishes. It's full of supportive and friendly women, who know what you're going through. It also has a parenting section for when your bubs arrives :)

How depressed? How moody? I have been pregnant four times. (the last pregnancy was twins-I have five kiddos) I was a crazy lady my first pregnancy. Especially the last 6 weeks. I was only 20 and not yet married...and I gained a lot of weight. So not the "picture perfect" pregnany. My hormones were raging and I was anxious about what was about to happen. I felt fat and unattractive and a bit alone. My friends were livin' it up in college and I was about to become a mother! But things got better as long as I found support with other Moms and my doctor. However, when I was pregnant the second time I was a lot less moody but I still had my days. I watched a sad movie and cried so hard you would have thought I was a t a funeral. With my third I was moody but after I gave birth I had really bad postpartum. With the twins I had mild mood swings. So, what I am saying is that pregnancy hormones can make you crazy, but things going on in your life and in your mind can make us really depressed and moody. Do you have someone for support? Other Moms? Feel free to contact me. Please know you are not alone and while becoming a Mother is a blessing it can be very overwhelming, so get all the help you can! Good luck and God bless you and your baby.

Oh yes - This is my third pregnancy, and I an recall during my first 2 pregnancy, I used to fight with my husband for nothing, would invent all sort of stories, will check on his calls and messages, etc. I was very bad I admit and my husband had a very rough time with me.... I used to cry a lot without reason and so on. I wanted to get a third child, and my husband was against the idea just because of my moods. But I got pregnant anyway, and I now try not to create any scenes. I am on my 5th month and still trying to be a good girl .... but I don't know what can happen later...I hope nothing... because it is very bad, you don't realise it when you are in your depressive mood, but sure it really affects people around you. So try to change you mood, by doing something you like, go shopping, eat your favorite ice-cream or go for a rest... good luck.....

That would all be due to the hormones! I remember feeling a little depressed... about my weight! And I was moody! It is normal to be that way after the birth of your baby also! But if your depression gets really bad then you need to talk to your doctor. They (my mother and doctor) said that I had post partum depression... I admit (now) that I seemed to have it (a little) although I never took medication and everything was fine. I just felt sad and felt like crying alot. I was also grouchy... It does help to have someone to talk to! Good Luck...

My husband cannot stand me and I'm only 12 weeks. If he didn't get a baby at the end of it I swear he'd leave if he could. (This is my fourth preg)I am the bitchiest pregnant woman, crying,moody. I cry at happy songs too now. It is so sick. Hang in there! About two-three weeks after delivery you should feel tons better. If not talk to your OB. Congrats on the baby!!! Do you know what you are having?

I got REALLY moody during the first trimester, I actually threw a glass measuring cup at my cat for tangling himself up around my legs while I was cooking...I just started screaming and threw it at him. It broke in a million peices (luckily I missed the cat)...then I broke into tears and couldn't stop crying for an hour. The rest of the pregnancy was great though.... :)

Moodswings and sadness are normal. Hormonally and emotionally, you have a lot to get used to.
Make sure you have someone you can confide in, outside of your partner or your parents - a friend, particularly someone that's got kids and knows what it's like to be pregnant for the first time.
And if you feel it is getting severe, please please please tell your caregiver. There are help lines, support groups, and people you can talk to. Don't let some blues in pregnancy turn into postpartum depression later. Try and work through it now. Best wishes for you and your baby!

Depression was the first thing that triggered me to take a pregnancy test in the first place. All of your hormones are so outta wack that it's only natural that your mind isn't going to be quite "right".
