Is it normal to feel like you're on an emotional rollercoaster....i feel so many different emotions and i'm only about 3 weeks along, almost a month. It's like one minute i'm really sad, next minute i'm extremely happy, and then i'm angry...i'm really confused about a lot of things. this is my first child, I'm 20 years old and i'm sooo scared about so many different things. I'm not married...and the weird thing is is that the father of the baby is the man i'm absolutely in love with, but what complicates it is that he doesn't know i'm in love with him, we've been really good friends for about 4 years, we've even lived together for about 6 months, but we never claimed to be dating, we messed around but always just remained friends. And now i'm pregnant with his child and i don't know how i feel about it. i mean, i know he'll be there for the kid, even if he wasn't i've got a good enough job...but i feel so many different emotions about so many different things....any advice please?!

The emotions are going to be all over the place and thats normal.
As for the guy,maybe you need to sit down and talk to him about how he feels about you and the living arrangement you are currently in.There is something different when you become pregnant by someone,most of the time,it brings you closer to that person.But you guys need to get a gameplan in place.Ask him how he is feeling about the baby and you 2 living together.If you were never dating,but close friends thats different.But now you have taken the relationship to the next level.You may find out that he feels the same way! Keep us posted and I hope that all goes well.If you are as close as you say,it should be easy.

Your hormones are in control now, and that's part of the reason that you're feeling this way. I think you "emotional rollercoaster" also has something to do with your own personal situation. Find someone that you can talk to--a friend, a family member, or a therapist if you feel comfortable. You should also talk to the baby's father about how you're feeling. Take a deep breath. You'll be fine.

It may be all in your head. If youre only 3 weeks along and you already know youre pregnant..maybe you were hoping to be pregnant by this man that you love? I'm not judging you .. I'm just saying. But emotional doesn't even begin to describe pregnancy .. it's gonna get better then worse then better then worse. When I was a month preg, I couldn't even tell .. no signs showed up until my 8th week. But of course every woman's body is different. You know what works for me when I'm all in an uproar..take a nice soothing shower and just relax in front of the t.v. Good luck!

I'd say don't sweat it....I know when I was pregnant, I was an emotional wreck. I would snap at people and not even realize I was doing it.....and that's totally not like me. I also noticed that if I was hungry, or needed nutrition it would get worse. Make sure you are eating several small meals a day, because this will keep your blood sugars more balanced, and hopefully help to stabalize your mood. As for your situation with boyfriend/daddy/friend. Good luck. It sounds like you're being responsible, hopefully he will too :) Congrats on the baby!

Sweetie is is definitely normal to be on an emotional rollercoaster during pregnancy. Your body is producing many hormones as your fetus develops that your body is not use to pre-pregnancy. Not only are you producing hormones your body is changin in a way that it never has before. You think its bad now wait til after you deliver and your body excretes those hormones in what is called night sweats.

I know exactly how you feel i am 35 weeks pregnant today and this shyt is not fun. But just try and keep the Lord first in everything that you do. But just try to take it one day at a time it will all be over very soon.

Before I knew I was preggers, OMG! I was Up and Down for the first couple weeks too. Then, when I found out I was pregnant (about 6 weeks along) I figured that was why and I chilled out.

yes....emotional rollercoasters r very normal, you will also forget alot of stuff, like what you r saying in the middle of a sentence. talk to your friend about being a daddy, he may want to be a big part of it and maybe even "settle down" and raise a family.

Pregnancy can bring you to a place that youve been avoiding for who knows how long, only you. But you need to just breathe and think everything thru. I wouldnt put everything out on the table just yet.
give yourself about two or three months before you let him in on any of those feelings. that way he has had a chance to figure out what he wants with his life and for his unborn chlid. and it gives your body a chance to try and balance out the hormone rush. it will work out in the long run.
congratulation and good luck in your endevors
