depression

Is it normal to slip into a depression at this stage in pregnancy? I feel like a horrible mother already, although it has nothing to do with the arrival of my little one. I don't find things fun that I used to, I cry all the time, I feel like a whale which makes me not even want to go out in public so I sit at home and sulk all day, I know I'm making my SO miserable, I'm making myself miserable..am i the only one who feels this way? I'm beyond excited to have my little boy, but pregnancy has not agreed with me. I'm a FTM and I'm just wondering if it's normal to feel this way? I've been in this depression for about a week..

Yeah definitely go see a doc. I know what you mean about feeling like a whale.  A lady at work today actually said to me 'you must be feeling like a whale...you're only going to get bigger'.  Another lady told me I looked huge. I cant wait to finish work so I can get away from these types of comments.  

Chin up. Just remember you are bring a life into the world and that ain't easy.

Mention something to your doctor, they can help you with it. I had it at the beginning, and my doctor had to watch me closely to be safe I didn't go into it deeper as I have a past of it.
