Hi, I'm miserable... still.

[daniellelenora]

I feel very disconnected to this pregnancy. I'm only 11 weeks, but with not showing and only having the miserable symptoms such as NEVER pooping, I'm not thrilled with even being pregnant. My first pregnancy, the moment I found out I was pregnant, I was instantly in love with the little thing. It was exciting and wonderful. This one, not so much.

LOL, I yelled at my husband for breathing, too. You were much kinder for going to the couch : )

Sorry you're feeling crumby. I would definitely talk to your doctor about anti depressants (and if you can afford it, maybe some counseling). I was on Wellbutrin for the entirety of my second trimester to help me cope with the deaths of my maternal grandparents which happened 8 weeks apart when I was 4 and 12 weeks pregnant. The meds were very helpful and helped me be productive again.

Hope you start to feel better.

PS I didn't really feel connected to my son until he was about 4-6 weeks old!!

I have asbestos in my garage walls and in the linoleum floors. It is fine in the house as long as we don't plan on tearing it out. If we do then we need a company to come in and do it for us. We were able to carpet right over the floors with no issues and could sheet rock in the garage if we wanted.

I felt really crappy from day one with my last pregnancy. It was a...surprise and my husband was less than thrilled. I have a history of miscarriages so I refused to get excited. My daughter is 7 months old and I love her dearly but we needed a little time to adjust to the idea. I wouldn't hesitate to ask about getting on some meds...or maybe even talking to someone. There might be a reason you are less than thrilled that even you don't realize. Can't hurt right?

I think I figured out why I'm less than thrilled. This baby was surprise. I've had to rearrange a lot of stuff at work now that I'm pregnant. There's this push to get into a house. My first pregnancy was wonderful, but the aftermath was horrible. I had post-partum depression, was being stalked by her father and he was dragging me through court to attempt to take her away from me. He now has nothing to do with her, however, apparently damage was done. However, the desire to protect her created an amazing attachment that has benefited both of us.

I have to remember this pregnancy and baby will be a completely different experience and a joyus one, I just wish I could feel that.

You'll get there.

I never showed all the way til I had my preemie at 26 weeks. I never felt excited or connected and am still missing that connection, to be honest. It helps me to remember that my baby is a little person and there will be a day that I can really connect with her on a deeper level. Until then, I just look forward to the future. Maybe you can look forward to when it's over? Can you download the Babycenter app so you know what stage the baby is at every day? Knowing the abilities and parts my baby already had helped me connect a bit.

there's some medicine the doc can prescribe to help with the constipation. several of the moms in my due date group had to do that, and apparently it helped a lot. So definitely mention that at your next appointment. If it's bugging, I'd ask whether you need some.

Your hubby could be just a little stressed and it's a big adjustment for some guys to realize they're going to be a parent. He'll probably come around, but sometimes counseling can help a lot if it's just not.

Oh no, my husband is fabulous! Trust me, I can admite, it's all me.
