re: I'm NOT excited ( long vent) *UPDATE*

Quoting daniellefm♡:“ okay so I'm going to be 36 weeks tomorrow and I just CANNOT seem to get excited about the fact that my ... [snip!] ... I have to talk to, no one else can relate to me at all these days... so thanks for reading this, if you've made it this far.”

wow. this post is soo depressing. its sad your feeling that way at such a beautiful moment in your life, but if thats the way you feel you cant help it. i have no doubt in my mind that once the baby is here and once you hold it and get to kno it, that you will love it and love your life too. pregnancy is just a bitch, your bound to feel shitty during it. i kno i do. i really hope you the best, and i hope your baby the best too.

you need to tell your Doctor hun!
I've dealt with depression and a few other things ever since the age of 11.
I even had a panic attack when I was fully dialated...I was at 10cm for an hour before I was even able to begin pushing...
No one is going to think you're crazy or think you're a bad mom...but you need to get help!
I know you have friends on this site and off this site I'm sure, but if you ever want to chat, I'm here =)

You need to talk to your doctor about this before you have him. The emotional rollercoaster that you're going to be on after teh baby because of the hormone craziness plus lack of sleep will be bad. And at least this way they will be able to nip it in the bud. If you ever need to talk, yelll, scream or cry.. you can PM me.  

I really hope you feel better though. Dealing with stuff like that while people are pretty much telling you that you need to be happy, doesn't help at all. Depression is viscious cycle that makes very little logical sense. It's a big loop.

I don't know what to say to him and I don't want to bring it up to my mom, she'll act like I'm overreactring or somthing..

just tell him how you're feeling
heck, print out what you just typed!

I know if I bring it up to him I'm just going to start crying in his office.. I always start to cry when I talk about it to anyone...

Quoting daniellefm♡:“ lol.. I just don't know if I'm depressed or if it's jsut the hormones and everything.. and what would I say to him? I'm afriad if he gives me some sort of pills, I'll abuse those too..”

well i went thru a depression spell a few years ago. and when u described urself i was like ooh that was me. i was put on zoloft and i could tell i was on them cause i felt so much better but it really didn't make me feel like i was taking a drug. it was more of if i didnt take it i knew i didn't take it cause of how i felt. so i couldnt abuse it. i took one and i was good for the day. and my doc allowed me to take myself off of it when i began to feel better. which i did after about 3 months. i dont really know how she got it out of me. but she just kind fished at one of my womens exams. and she asked me do i feel like crying often and i got teary eyed and she was like say no more this is what we gonna do. so just tell ur doc how ur feeling. say something like doc i'm feeling a little off. thats what i would say. i was off so i needed so zoloff. i thought it was funny!!

well I have my 36 week appotinment tomorrow so when he askes me how I'm feeling I guess I could tell him I've been feeling sad a lot latley and then see where it goes from there...

to be honest, I'm kind of embarassed to tell him. I know it sounds stupid, but I don't want him to think I'm crazy, or over reacting or somthing...

Quoting daniellefm♡:“ I know if I bring it up to him I'm just going to start crying in his office.. I always start to cry when I talk about it to anyone...”

Crying isn't always a bad thing mama! And it's much better to get it out than to keep it all in.

I'm already nervous about getting my GBS test done, now I have to tell him about this lol

I've been thinking I might have depression, but I just brush it off as a normal part of pregnancy....

im sure hes probablly heard it before.... its a big change to go from being able to do whatever to being a mommy... my sis was on antidepressants with her pregnancies and hers were planned.... dont be ashamed of it and good luck

i felt that way too!!! but thats what doc are for to help you and make u better. my baby thats on the way's father has post tramtic stress from going to iraq twice and i encourage him to talk to someone. cause he needs to be right in the head before this baby gets hear. i have to leave for training for 2 1/2 months next march and i told him if he doesn't talk to his counselor i will not be going. if u don't do for urself do it for you baby. cause let me tell you it took me to yell an my daughter for sensless things before i realized something is wrong. and a new baby, u don't want to be like that!!!

well I just told my fiance that I posted this ( he already knew how I was feeling) and I told him you guys think I should talk to my doctor, and he said "maybe we should wait until the baby gets here and then see how you're feeling...."

but then he said " if you think you should talk to your doctor, then maybe you should talk to him"
I don't know what to do.
I don't know if I'm depressed, or if I'm just getting "cold feet", the whole time I've been feeling this way I've been thinking it's just a normal part of pregnancy.



What are the signs of depression?
Depression can come on slowly, and the symptoms are different for each person. Some of the more common signs are:

• 
  changes in appetite, either eating too much or having little interest in food;
• 
  changes in sleep, either having trouble sleeping or sleeping too much;
• 
  fatigue or lack of energy;
• 
  feelings of great sadness, hopelessness or worthlessness;
• 
  crying for no reason; and
• 
  feeling little interest or pleasure in things you used to enjoy.

but they also seem like normal symptoms in pregnancy too so I don't know... 

Danielle, this will all change the second you hold your little baby in your arms! Your heart is going to melt! Trust me! I was terrified out of my mind! MY entire first trimester I was so not thrilled! I didn't want to be pregnant, mainly b/c i had nothing done with my life...i haven't finished school, i got married young...but those are just blessings! you can do anything with a child, anything you put your mind to! Now i can't imagine a day of my life without Noah in it! I was never getting married, and I dispised the thought of children! But they truly are a blessing!
