Deep down

Hi, first time pregnant and 14weeks and lately I’ve been thinking “what did I get myself into” sometimes I wish I wasn’t pregnant. Not having a good pregnancy and it’s taking a toll

Your body your choice. But if you really want to keep this pregnancy going maybe try going for walks to clear your mind or do any binging you like to do (shows, certain foods, etc) to get your mind away from the sad thoughts. I felt the same most of my first pregnancy but I’m glad I went through with it in the end and now I just had my second. But again it’s if you want to go that route only you can make that decision. No decision is an easy decision but you will be ok in the end regardless

Your body your choice 🩷

I felt this same exact way during my pregnancy, I kept questioning what the fuck am I doing, and my capability to be a mother, I even thought about adoption. For me the feelings went away once he was here and I’m so inlove with him now and don’t ever have a single one of those thoughts, pregnancy is HARD and lonely and the hormones are killer. but No matter what make the right choice for you! And don’t let anyone make you feel bad for it. 🩷

I have felt the same way with my first and even now with my second (I’m 21 weeks). It’s literally just about getting through each day. I have to remind myself that this is temporary and it WILL get better. I have bad anxiety and depression when I’m pregnant and it’s so hard. try to keep yourself busy as hard as that is. I try and go for a walk or clean something in the house or even bed rot and find a good show to watch to take your mind to a different place. your already 1/3 of the way there, you got this mama!

I also felt the same way as I was homeless living out of my car with my fiancé. Nothing is sweeter than seeing your baby at the 20 week scan and progressing. Give it time your body is going through all sorts of hoops and your hormones are raging. When you deliver and see that cute little face and see baby smile for the first time it’s heart melting I’m really tiny and struggle so do a lot being borderline a legal tiny person but this child has shown me the better side of life ❤️

@Carli definitely look into PPD meds it helps balance hormones for a little bit so you can start feeling okay again. I went on them after I wouldn’t stop crying for months any chance I was alone.

@Layla Caron I’ve tried several that have just made me feel worse and I’m so drained from the trial and error. I’ve just decided to deal with it and cope as well as I can. My post partum isn’t usually bad, I usually feel a lot better actually so I just need to be patient and get this baby out when the time comes😅

I would say that’s fairly normal. I wanted to get pregnant and I had thoughts like that. My husband and I were pretty fresh in our relationship and were fighting a lot. It was scary and new territory for both of us. But I’d say in the second half of pregnancy as I got more “used to it” and made sure to take care of myself, it got better. I started reading and researching more, I like What to Expect When You’re Expecting, I learned a lot and it made me feel more at ease. Don’t feel guilty about resting, ever. If you feel like walk, exercising, stretching then that’s great, do it. But it’s always okay to rest. It will get better and it will be okay. Talk to people. Talk to other mothers, other pregnant woman, friends and family.
