Does anyone else feel like their mood has totally dipped since becoming pregnant?

Does anyone else feel like their mood has totally dipped since becoming pregnant? I wouldn’t say I’m depressed, I’m excited and hopeful for the future. My greatest dream and goal has always been to become a mom. But since becoming pregnant, I’ve felt my personality just dull out. I feel like I’m having the hardest time contributing to any conversation, even with my comfort people. In a room full of laughing people, I just sit there wondering what was even funny. It makes me happy to be around happy people but I feel bad that I must look miserable but I’m not going to pretend. I just don’t feel like myself right now.

Same here girl. Maybe it’s all the hormones? Today my doctor asked if i was depressed and i said idk maybe it’s just this 1st trimester. This trimester has not been easy on me and i feel like that’s also why for me

I’ve been pretty meh myself. I do think I may be dealing with prenatal depression, but it could just be that we have so much of our energy going to growing baby, that we just can’t spare the energy for interests and social interaction?

A lot of women will experience brain fog as well, I know I am! Our bodies are going through so much change to create these tiny humans. I think it’s all a part of the process❤️ I don’t have any energy like I usually do & social events have been very hard for me to attend. Ive been slacking and avoiding a lot if I don’t feel up to it, and I usually am not like that.

Especially if you're still in the first trimester, I think that makes total sense. Talk to your doc and see what they think! I had some brain fog but felt mood-wise okay generally with my first two (had more big emotional waves than a general dulling out), but hormones hit everyone / every pregnancy different, so it's worth seeing if additional support could help you ❤️

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
