I just found out that I am 6 weks pregnant, but I am not happy. Is something wrong with me? I have wanted to be a mom since I can remember and my husband and I have been trying. When we found out everything hit me. I cant get up and go anymore, its not going to be just me and my husband, are we going to stay as close as we are, is my dog going to be ok with it, can I finish college, I have a very physical job of pushing pulling and lifting, can I still work, am I going to get fat, can I lose all the weight, I can go on and on. Some days I cry and others I am mad. I havent seen my doc yet, but he did order and ultrasound b/c I was spotting and cramping. Everything looks good I just have a couple of cyst on my ovary but they say not to worry. The cyst though are causing my hormones to be very very high. So what is wrong with me. Why is my husband happier than I am and does this mean I am going to have postpartum depression???

I went through all the same stuff- wanting too, then not wanting too when I got pregnant. It's just really scary! He came along and I loved him, it's not all easy, but it is just the best thing you'll ever do. I never got depression (although some days are hard- it's hard work!).

Good luck, remember your hormones are playing tricks on your brain just now.

Wow thats alot let me see if I can answer it all.
Your dog will be fine he may need some time to learn how to act around a baby.
I went back to college 2 months after my daugther was born so Yes you can finish school.
Job you should see if they can put you somewhere else. You could miscarry your baby.
Yes your going to get fat your going to have a human in your stomach but if you do right after the baby is born you can lose the weight.
Keep an eye on the spotting and cramping. I was pregnant about 2 months ago and I started having spotting and cramping end up miscarring my baby.
Whats wrong with you is your hormones are all over the place and your not used to it. You will be fine. You may have postpartum depression but you doctor can perscribe something. If you do, don't breast feed the medicine can be transfered to the baby.
Good luck with your new baby

You are not alone on this problem.

Many woman want to get pregnant and then once they do they start thinking "I won't be able to do anything anymore!".

This is NOT true. No of course you can't just get up and go, you will have to get baby ready, but it's not the end of the world.

I have 2 kids a 6 year old and a 1 year old. You adjust very quickly to having kids. You can dwell of stuff or you will have depression.

Talk to the Doctor about your depression and with exception on how healthy you are, he/she might be able to give you something during pregnancy for it.

You can finish College. I was 16 when I had my first son and I was able to finish High School no problem. Yes you are going to gain weight but that is the whole part of pregnancy. You can lose it as long as you excerise and watch what you eat after the baby is born.

As far as your job goes you will probably have to take an easy at work and do something else at work.

Nothing is wrong with you..the way you are feeling is completely normal. It is a very stressful and confusing time right now. Your life will be different but trust me, when you see your baby you will fall in love. You will love your life and then their will be a day when you couldnt imagine not having a little one around. You are going to gain weight but if you work hard after the baby you can get the weight off. You should try to find work elsewhere because when you are pregnant you are not supposed to push and lift things. Dont worry....you will adapt to this new idea soon enough. Just be sure to tell your doctor how you feel. This doesnt necessarily mean that you will have postpardum depression...everyone is different. Feel free to email me if you want to talk. I am 22 weeks pregnant with my second child. Good luck.

You are worrying too much. What ever happens, will happen if you worry about it or not. Try taking it one day at a time. Don't think so far ahead. You really don't start getting that emotional attachment to the baby until you start to feel it move around inside you. Try doing things to make you feel good like walking, swimming, etc. Pay more attention to your nutitional needs and trying to have as healthy a baby as you can. Don't worry, the maternal instinks will kick in. If for some reason you still feel bad after having the baby, talk to your doctor about it. There maybe something he can give you to help. Congradulations!

Nothing is wrong with you. Your hormones are all over the place. I was depressed at the beginning of my pregnancy. Quit over analyzing everything. It all works out. If you can't stop feeling this way talk to your doctor they can give you anti depressants even when your pregnant. If you take care of it now you'll have a less chance of postpartum depression. Do things to take your mind off of things. Go baby shopping or start thinking of names. A great book is Jenny McCarthy's Belly Laughs.

Everything you feel is normal. Having a baby is a life altering experience. Your husband probably won't realize this until after the baby gets here and he's not getting all your attention. Then he'll be feeling the same way you do. There is nothing wrong with you. Once your hormones adjust you'll feel differently. And no, just because you feel this way now doesn't mean that you'll have postpartum depression.

oo honey it will all work out you will see. Those hormones will do a doozey on ya. I don't think the pulling and straining will be good for you or the baby. Keep yourself happy and healthy and all will be fine. As for you and your husband you guys will probably get closer then you have ever been. You will see it will all be fine and once you hold that baby you will forget everything and just see how much you love that baby and it all will be worth it. GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS

I went through the same thing. I wanted to have a baby so bad .. when I saw those 2 lines on the stick I was like "No, no, no please" Even at 6 mos preg I was still thinking "What did I do?" But you just have to keep in mind that these feelings are normal. I'm now 7 1/2 mos and I have good days & bad days. I make myself feel better by going shopping for the baby. It helps me get excited. Tomorrow me and my sister are traveling a distance to go to this store I heard of .... just do things to make yourself feel better. If you dont, well there's always ways to end a pregnancy. And its YOUR decision. Hope you feel better.

It's ur hormones causing u to think about everything but the good stuff. Think about all those times u pictured urself w/a baby, and the joy that it brought u.
