Please don't ignore it. Dr needs to know because you also are at risk for ppd if it is depression. Look up symptoms of prenatal or antenatal depression. Its rare but its real. I suggest go to counseling, it is super helpful. Its hard when other people don't understand and think its in your head or you caused it. Yes it may be hormones causing it but it sounds like its affecting the way you function. Keep exercising and eating healthy, get enough sleep. Its all things you do already but that's what helps aleviate symptoms too. Find supportive friends and family to help if you can.

I can understand. I am 13 weeks and very emotional. I have moments of depression and crying moments. I have a 3yr old that's my life and an amazing man in my life but sometimes you just can't help the emotions. It will get better...

Talk to your doctor. I was crying allot for a couple of weeks but I think it was mostly due to being overly tired. Now that I'm no longer working my emotions are way under control.
