That is so normal! If we all speak out more about it, more moms-to-be will understand it’s normal, speak out, and get help when we need it. Thank you for stopping by and sharing!

I am currently in my third trimester and feeling the same way. I know I am supposed to be happy, but I am hating being pregnant. I just feel useless. It is difficult going from doing everything to being able to do nothing. I am afraid I won’t be a good mom if I can’t even handle the pregnancy. It is nice to know that I am not the only person that feels this way.

I will certainly remember this post if/when one of my friends, or even a bus-seat partner talks to me about this. We all must be open to hearing these problems and be helpful if we can.

Ugh, that is awful – when you finally open up and aren’t taken seriously!! I’m so glad you had someone to talk to. I know that being surrounded by supportive people is the only way I made it through.

When I was pregnant with my 2nd son I had really bad depression, caused from stress from too many life changes & hormones all over the place. I’m sorry you had to go through it, it can be a scary & lonely place trapped inside your own mind when everything goes dark. I fought myself every day for my own life & I’m thankful I’m still here today. I told my midwife how I felt & she basically rolled her eyes at me & asked if I was getting enough sun & that I should join a mom’s club. I couldn’t believe it. I called a girl whom I considered an acquaintance at the time ( she’s now a good friend) because she was very open about mental health issues & I didn’t know who else to confide in that I felt wouldn’t judge me. Just talking about with someone who didn’t judge was probably what saved my life. You are right, as women we need to build each other up & support each other. Life is hard & being a mother is hard, we shouldn’t have to hide in the shadows to spare ourselves from shame for something we have no control over, something we would not choose to go through if given the choice. Thanks again for sharing your story & making me feel brave enough to share mine. Hopefully it helps others who are going through it.

It’s one and the same. We need to learn to open up about it and “normalize” it as an area that we help fellow moms in our community with. 🙂

I had no idea. Thanks for sharing. I think you are opening up on something that may help a lot of expecting moms.

I suffered through this after pregnancy, never during, but I can empathize. Thank you for sharing! And helping other moms know it’s not just them. ♥
