This sudden influx of emotion whether it's positive or negative is completely normal during pregnancy. Women's hormone's are racing at ridiculously high level in order to compensate for the drastic changes the body is going through.
That being said, there are lots of reasons to be saddened. You may be worrying about money, time, energy. You could even be wondering if you're fit to be a mother, or WANT to be a mother.
It's also possible (my wife went through this, and I did as well when she was pregnant) that you don't want to change your life-style. It's a big adjustment especially if you're perfectly content with life the way it is!
That's normal, my wife and I found out we were pregnant and there was a while were we just wanted to be together and not share one another. We eventually talked about it and made a conscious effort to be excited (just because it wasn't our timing doesn't mean we weren't supposed to accept the blessing).
Unfortunately, about 12 weeks into the pregnancy we miscarried. But we were thankful for the time we had.
My advice, talk to your husband about how you're feeling. He may be able to help this more than anyone here...

its a mood swing and the growing tiredness and exhaustion talking. try thinking good thoughts and see some sappy baby movies, like nine months, baby's day out (for family type comic relief)
read calvin and hobbes, read some reader's digests , you can get those from your library, plan your nursery, or meet up or chat with pregnant mothers online( www.ivillage.com) . make sure you go out of the house for long walks. it helped me a lot. be hydrated. I know this makes you go to the loo often but being hydrated works very well for the body. remeber that during your pregnancy you will feel a little tired, so try to nap in the afternoon
plan the nursery (www.hgtv.com)
And never forget, you have been blessed for every baby is a blessing

It is normal there are many new things happening in your body. Be open with your husband about how you feel that way he can be supportive and don't wonder what is going on with you. Perhaps, if you start a baby project such as decorating for the baby will get you moving. Read books about being pregnant, they're really informative. Take good care of yourself!

yes it is normal. to help you to get excited start looking at all the positive things about having a baby. try to forget about the things every parent worrys about. think and imagin about how much the baby is going to make your life full of laughter and wounderful days filled with joy. and start even saying to your self every morning in the mirror that you are so happy to be having the baby and before you know it with all these exercise you will start to feel happy about having the baby. and yes it does really work. i had to do it when i was preganant with my daughter. and i was 19 and going through a divorce at the time.

I used to be at the capsule whilst I conceived too. I felt burdened, as maybe the motive why you suppose like this. It's a surprise and a part, and it does not sink in. Honestly, while you keep your little one, the feelings you as soon as felt/suppose, will disappear, and your mothering instincts will kick in. You'll love your youngster. Maybe for the reason that it used to be unplanned, it exaggerates the surprise much more? Your hormones are in all places the position. Honestly, I felt that manner whilst I used to be wearing earlier than my miscarriage. One minute I desired, and cherished my youngster, the following I felt like I used to be resenting and did not desire to grasp. Only used to be it till I had a truly small bump did I become aware of it used to be a outstanding and necessary factor, and my instincts have been kicking in and I began feeling extra welcome to fitting a mom. I felt close adequate the detailed equal manner. All in well time, you'll be able to hot as much as the thought. It's stilla surprise, and the test will deliver fact house, and the distinguished revel in forward of you. All the first-class, and congratulations to your baby!

This sometimes is natural. Alot of women become sadended while pregnant for numerious reasons, (their body isn't the same, all of the attention, they have someone coming who will depend on them for everything)...you may want to talk to your doctor about this..this may turn into "baby blues" after the baby is born. And in some cases the "baby blues" can be severe. So please for your sake and your babies speek to your doctor regarding this...I am sure there is something that can be done to make this a more enjoyable experience for you!
Good Luck!

This is just the beginning and you might not feel all that happy now but its normal. Mood swings happen to every pregnant girl and depression. Im 28 weeks and sometimes feel that way.

Your body is going through hormonal imbalance, this is completely normal. Some women get the feeling after their baby is born as well, wich is know as postpardum (spelling?) depression. God bless you and your family, and good luck with the new baby.

Some women experience some sort of depression during pregnancy. Its not abnormal but if you feel bad about it maybe you should go ask your doctor. They know what to do about this, somethimes even changing your diet can work. Dont feel ashamed of how you feel, try and talk about it. It might help!
