Prenatal depression to everything in the house stinks and my face breaking out and can’t even clean the house without my back breaking as I already have a bump I’m so done already and not even in my second trimester yet

for me up until weeks 13/14 was hell. extremely nauseous, some vomitting, overly sensitive to smells and gagging at everything, back and joint pain, depressed and irritated all the time, bloated and absolutely huge because of it. at week 14 is when i started to feel human again but was extremely exhausted and constantly sleeping, but with every week i’m feeling better. so there is definitely hope! but remember that every pregnancy is different, i always knew that there’s people with no symptoms, some with much worse than mine, and there’s no help for that. stay strong, give yourself grace and as much time to rest as you can! it’s depressing but it’s nothing you cannot push through:)

Second pregnancy

I’ve just found out that I’m pregnant with my second baby. My little one has just turned two and I’m slightly dreading toddlerhood and pregnancy at the same time. This baby was planned and very wanted, but now I’m actually pregnant I don’t know how to feel about it. Please tell me this is normal 🫣.

Zoloft during pregnancy? Good, bad an the ugly plz

I have high anxiety but im not on any medications, I am diagnosed with Bipolar and anxiety, and im 12 weeks pregnant- my dr asked why I was shaking, I told her it was anxiety and she said shes starting me on Zoloft, i havnt started it yet. Im scared to start an SSRI while pregnant, Im mentally healthy now but and scared bc of my past of harmful thoughts. Anyone else have to start Zoloft while pregnant? What was your experience?

Is anyone else irritable?

Hi I’m 35 weeks today and I’ve noticed the past few days I’ve been so irritable with my husband and within the things I’ve been doing.

This pregnancy we’ve dealt with HG, severe anemia, low weight gain, and now preeclampsia risk so we’re looking at a medical induction at 37 weeks. This has all been hard but usually I have a positive outlook and things don’t get to me as much. But goodness something about the past few days has just flipped a switch and no matter how rested or taken care of I am; I feel so snappy and I find myself glaring at the most random things.

Any other mommas in the same boat?

Announcing!!

Hi! My ladies with EDDs around 1/18 or so, when are you announcing publicly/social media? ** we do not believe in HAVING to wait 12 weeks and we believe it should be when you’re ready since anything can really happen anytime. I pray that we all have healthy babies 🙏😊💓 **

We told our parents and friends the weekend after we found out!! Just curious to hear when you’re announcing publicly, we’re thinking 6-8 weeks! I’m almost 5 now. Picture is how we told my husbands family.

I want to be pregnant again

A bit of background I didn’t enjoy my pregnancy I was exhausted and huge! My lo is now 7 months and up until like a week ago I was one and done! I struggled adapting to mum life massively. Literally in the last week I’ve gone from never again to I want to be pregnant again now! No way am I cut out for 2 under 2 and I feel like I need to plan before I even consider a second. Has anyone else experienced this sudden change?!
