Anyone else experience depression during pregnancy? Was it worse after having the baby? Once in a while I’ll feel OK but I’m just so down and out these days with low energy, no motivation, and bouts of crying. I really wanted this pregnancy to be happy. This is my second baby and I thought since my circumstances are different this pregnancy and that I’m in better place in life than I was throughout my first pregnancy that I’d be happy. I really wanted this pregnancy to be happy. I was doing so good throughout my first trimester which is unusual but now I’m in “the happy trimester” and feel far from happy. I feel fat, bloated, tired, sore, lazy, and lonely.
I was Soo miserable my first pregnancy. I think I payed in bed for the majority. It did get better.
I did with my first. It got worse after she was born too and it took me nearly a year after having her to admit it to anyone.
