YES!! I didn't want to say anything and seem like an a@@ since I just got my BFP. Last night, I cried for about an hour, and just couldn't stop. I was just so down in the dumps when I should be over the moon. Hormones maybe? I am so relieved it is not just me ((HUGS))

It is a wonderful yet scary experience so I think it's normal to be a bit depressed especially early on when you are riddled with worries and uncertainties but I promise it will get better. A lot of it may just be the overload of hormones but you'll be walking on cloud nine very soon!!

YES. I have Bipolar disorder already, so that makes it a bit harder. Plus with the relationship problems DF and I have been having lately- even worse. There have been days that feel like total depression, and it makes me feel guilty. However, I understand that it is normal, and that the guilt will just make it worse.
*HUGGLES* girls.

Did you know that at this time, baby's feeding off your hormones until the placenta is fully functioning? Then it feeds off the placenta for homrone stuff.
Plus with you being tired, worrying about every feeling of being "wet" down there, incase it's blood, possibly nauseus, possibly constipated, etc etc It's only natural. Your body is working overtime right now, and takes a lot of getting used to. Just try and make sure you take time out for yourself, do something you enjoy, a hobby, or watch a movie, or pig out with ice cream!
It will pass, and then you'll love it. They say that the pain of labour and birth is the quickest forgotten pain.... these early times are kinda the same. I can't really recall how gross I felt in the first tri, it's really odd and kinda neat at the same time

Well, count me in that club. It's not that I'm not happy about being preggo. But I am tired of nausea & m/s at this point, and I have been stressed w/ all the bleeding episodes. Plus I HATE work and I am pretty sure I am going on my maternity leave early (mid or late February). And when my stomach gets bigger & baby puts more pressure on my bladder, I may need to go back to my urogynecologist & be put on bedrest so there is that in the back of my mind, too. I just keep telling myself I have to feel better soon 'cause it can't go on forever.

I hate this early stage. I don't fit into many of my pants anymore. I look fat and not pregnant.

As much as i want to be pregnant and i have wanted it for a long while something tells me i am going to feel like you girls do. Its the early stage where you know your pregnant but no one around you knows so you end up feeling self conscious or feeling like ts not real and then you end up depressed. I think i am going to be in your ladies boat real soon.

I noticed I had lost some weight the last few days. So at dinner tonight, I ate a ton! I went back for seconds and thirds. Now I feel pretty good! I don't think I was eating enough, and that combined with the nap has really changed my mood around, at least for today. I hope this lasts so long as I keep up the routine, and I hope you ladies are feeling better

Pregnancy isn't easy. It's not easy on our bodies or our emotions!
I hope you all feel 100% better very soon!!!

((((HUGS)))) I was really depressed and emotional when I was pregnant with DD, and the baby I lost. With DD it went away at around 16 weeks, and then I felt completely wonderful and happy. I think a big part of it is the hormones.

Maybe I'm just externalizing it, but I've been more crabby than down. I did have an epic crying jag a few days ago. Mostly I'm feeling extra sensitive to the real or imagined flaws of DH. For some reason he just can't do anything right lately. Then I b**** at him until he bows and kisses my feet. Well, not quite... but almost.
