Everyone keeps saying this should be the happiest time of my life but honestly I just feel low and cry for no reason. Im in my second trimester. I feel guilty even typing this. Did anyone else feel like this? is it normal?
My doctor said hormonal shifts, tiredness and big life changes can all cause low mood in pregnancy, and it is more common than people admit. She told me if it lingers or feels deep, it must be addressed professionally, not ignored. Please do mention it at your next visit or sooner if it is heavy.
I felt this heaviness during and after my pregnancy and I kept thinking I should just be happy. You dont have to hide it. Reaching out, even to your gynac, is a brave and right step, please dont stay silent with these feelings.
I totally understand, and I am so sorry you are feeling this way. Be kind to yourself, this does not make you a bad mom at all. Lean on someone you trust and please tell your doctor, you deserve support.
First, what you are feeling is real and you are not weak for it. I struggled with low moods in pregnancy too and the hormones genuinely mess with you. Please talk to your doctor about it, mine took it seriously and it helped so much to not carry it alone.
