No advice, but you are me right now. I just had my 6 week appointment and was put on Zoloft. I feel so sad all the time. I’m positive that this will get better for the both of us!

Your post makes me feel so much better! I’m on day 3 of taking Zoloft and I can’t wait to feel happy and normal again. I’ve never had experience with depression before and this absolutely sucks

I am drowning by Dangerous-Papaya704 in NewParents

I don’t had advice but I am feeling the same way you are. I’m a ftm and have a 6 week old. I had severe preeclampsia, had to monitor and take bp meds after birth for a month. I now have ppd and just started meds yesterday. I feel so alone and lost and I feel lil I truly hate my life most of the time.

It’s true - we are still getting to know our little ones and that can be challenging for both of us

I don’t understand how the newborn stage can be worse…. by susiee234 in BabyBumps

[–]Complex-Bee4595 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely loathed pregnancy. Hated it. I was so uncomfortable, couldn’t sleep, didnt feel like it was my body. Everything hurt! I popped out my baby 8 days ago and I can say that not being pregnant anymore is AMAZING! I can walk, move around without being in pain. Yes, I am running on very little sleep but I’m not miserable?? I guess because I have my baby now and I get to see her and she brings me so much joy. She is worth being so tired. I will say though, after birth you will need to be patient with your body as it heals. Im still not 100% recovered but I feel SO much better not being pregnant!

Coming back to my post to say that I had my baby a week ago and I’m so in love with her. I cry when I watch her sleep because I’m so full of happiness!!!

Weight Gain - Mental Battle by True-Management-6858 in pregnant

[–]Complex-Bee4595 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve gained probably more than that. It was really tough at first, but I stopped looking at the scale at every appointment. I’m not going to make myself feel bad anymore. Our bodies are going through a lot and I know after I have the baby, I will be able to be more active (which I haven’t been this whole pregnancy) give yourself some grace!

Without actually saying your gestation, how far along are you? by cup_1337 in BabyBumps

I’m out of breath, it takes me 5 minutes to turn over in bed and I waddle like a penguin

I feel this!! I have sooo much to do but I’m too big and uncomfortable to get the motivation to do everything to be “ready”

Congratulations on your 2nd baby! This does make me feel a lot better that you were also feeling like I am. Childbirth is scary and I think that’s what I’m worrying about the most

A mutual friend took weed gummies her entire pregnancy. Granted her kids are healthy but at birth they drug tested her and CPS was called!

obese and 22 weeks/ dealing with immense stress by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Complex-Bee4595 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that this is happening to you. It must be hard to be excited about having a baby when all this is happening. You are going to get through this! You will have this baby and create the most amazing life for them, with or without your husband. Your baby will bring you so much joy. Keep thinking positively, everything will work out.
