Help, my emotions are all over the place!?

Question

I need to know if this is normal or if i should see a doctor! I am 11 weeks pregnant!
Most days (like today!) I have no feelings! I could sit and think about nothing for long periods at a time! I never know what i want, ex. for dinner, to do for an activity, or how i feel!
It's driving me insane and i can see how it is effecting my husband!
So, I feel like crap, no emotions, no moods, I am just a BLAH being!
I am not liking this one bit, because i was not like this before i got pregnant! Now i could care less!
I now women can be depressed during their pregnancy, and don't get me wrong, I'm not thinking suicide, but I find no reason to do ANYTHING during the day?
Is this normal, and will it pass!

Answer 1

It is normal, it will pass. If you are still concerned, ask your doctor about it. If you want a good source of information on what's normal and what's not, check out http://www.babycenter.com

Answer 2

I felt like that a lot too, more earlier in my pregnancy than now (I am seven months) I thought it could be "prenatal depression" but slowly it passed. For the most part now it's the indesciveness and lack of will to want to do anything. I am more over emotional now than having lack of emotions.
Just make sure if you really feel bad to talk to your doctor.

Answer 3

Usually women have the most emotional differences with they are pregnant in the first trimester, which you are almost out of. During my first three months with both of my children I was so tired I didn't care what was for dinner, or what movie to watch, etc. Don't worry, I'm sure it will pass.

Answer 4

Let me start by saying that being a man does not generally disqualify me from answering, I am a father.

You will probably hear from many people that this is normal. Only you and your Doctor can decide if that is true.

Answer 5

of course its normal i was the same way i only have 5 weeks left and still feel like that sometimes dont worry everything will be fine your hormones are just off and your body is experiencing changes relax and go with the flow this is a special and precious time good luck and talk with your gyno

Answer 6

When my wife was preg' with our son, I appreciated the times when she was just kinda' zoning out. Because, when she was not, she could be a little nutso'. You may be subconciously covering your hubby (and yourself, in turn). That's a lotta' love.

Nah... if you're like me, you don't want to get all worked up about something before it happens, especially if it's something that will take a long time. I tend to zone out about it and just take care of business. A pregnancy has a lot of things to ponder and several months to do it in. Some times fear of something going wrong, or even fear of pain/discomfort, can cause you to just zone or block it out, out as a reaction. Totally normal.

Just go with it. There's nothing wrong with you. You're going to experience hormonal, emotional, physical, and physiological changes that you're not used to. This is an exciting time, not one to get bummed out about. Think about wonderful things, and don't worry about those times that you're zoning out... it's all part of the process.

Good luck, and best wishes with your pregnancy!

Answer 7

You may be going through postpartum depression early. Most mothers don't experience it until after they have given birth. It is because of the hormones of pregnancy. You will need to talk to your OBGYN. You may need to be on medication. They have meds that won't harm the baby. Get well.

Answer 8

Yeah, it's normal. Especially if it's your first pregnancy. It's your body rebelling against all the extra weight. It'll keep getting worse for awhile, but I think it does get better after awhile. I'm not sure how long it'll last. But yeah, it is normal.

Answer 9

I am sure what your feeling is normal but perhaps you should talk to someone. It is a huge time of change and uncertainty and you have probably already lost some of your freedoms .

I hope it passes and i am sure it will.
