Down in the dumps

Has anyone else been feeling like this? I've been really down the last 2 days and I don't know why. Everything is going great with the pregnancy, and we're both so excited about it. I just feel fed up and no interest in doing anything or seeing other people. I got barely any sleep last night so maybe that's y I feel bad today but dunno abt yest. Maybe hormones???

aww hormones can be killer. Maybe try doing something special for yourself and see if that helps

Take a nice bubble bath, buy a new top, whatever makes you feel good. I hope you feel better soon.

I totally understand how you feel. I get like that every couple of days. Gotta love hormones. There is alot going on with the holidays so Im sure once that is said and gone and everything starts getting back to normal you will feel better

I am SO with you! I have been very emotional this pregnancy, I seem to be either super happy or super down. Lately I have been down, I posted a lot about it on DIJune, my kids have been really sick and throwing up and stuff which is NOT fun and pretty much makes me despise being a parent. Not a good thing to feel when you are pregnant! But we had an awesome ultrasound on Monday and I should have been so thrilled but I had a bad feeling - sure enough our little one puked shortly after we got home... Its just been about 3 weeks of stuff like that for us. So I sympathise with you, this is a hard time of year with the weather and the early darkness and people just seem to be in bad moods a lot. I wish I could cheer you up but at least you are not alone

I definitely have days like this too. I think lack of sleep, hormones, stress of the holidays and changing body image all contribute! I agree with the other ladies in trying to do something nice for yourself. If nothing else works, a little chocolate never hurt anybody!

hee hee. Hope you are feeling happier soon. ((hugs))

Sorry you are feeling bad. I would chalk it up to the hormones.
I've been having some overly emotional moments, too. The other night I spilled a glass of water (on myself, in bed) & actually started crying.

I have been kind of down a little this last week. I think its partly that I cant get very good sleep and partly that my daughter has been sick. She is almost better now but my son woke up this morning with it. I just hate it when my poor babies are sick. I wish I could take it for them.

I kinda feel fat right now too. I know its dumb. I look pregnant and everything but I just feel fat. I dont understand how my dh can be so attracted to my largeness. Strange man! lol

I find that a nice bath can do wonders when im feeling kind of blue. I hope you feel better soon!

Every so often, I feel like that too. Gotta love these hormones. I agree with the others. Try doing something special for yourself. My favorite thing to do is either a nice bubble bath or a pedicure. Hope you start feeling better soon!
