Down in the Dumps

This is my first pregnancy. I know Im supposed to have mood swings and stuff but this is surreal. Sometimes Im an excited mommy to be but usually Im just wishing I wasnt pregnant. Im only a month in and feel so depressed. This baby wasnt planned but the dad is so excited. I want to be too.

My kids weren't planned either. Of course I was 16 and 17 when I got pregnant with them. That's neither here nor there.  I wish I had been older. Children are a miracle and you are lucky that your body is able to form a child. Some woman can't do that. (My tubes are tied and now I really want one and not sure if it can be reveresed now). When you have the baby and see it, you can say, my body created that? You'll be counting fingers and toes and smiling when you get to hold him or her the first time. Pregnancy is not a fun time, but if you're just a month pregnant at least you'll be going through it through the winter, that's a plus. Just make sure to get plenty of rest and eat right. No alchohol or smoking or drugs (which I'm sure you wouldn't do anyway). And hopefully you will feel better with eating and sleeping properly. As for being depressed, get out of the house and go shopping, spend time with friends and talk to your husband. Anything to keep your mind off the depression. Best of luck! :)
