Feeling Blue... :-/

[JRBL]

This is the most "down" I've felt all pregnancy... well, in any pregnancy, really. It pretty much just started over the past week... I just feel so weapy and down all the time. Not "depressed", I just want to cry. Not over anything in particular. :???: I don't get it.

I know in those last two weeks when I was over due with Eliya I felt sad, but that was because I was in pain and uncomfortable... and really just anxious to meet her. This time... I dunno. I mean, I'm having some pre-term stuff going on, but no real "LABOR". Can anybody relate to my "blue"-ness? I wish I could snap out of it........

[Beth]

No real help here, sorry. I laughed the whole time I was pregnant with Ash. However, there are times in general that I get quite sad and need a really good cry. I can normally tell it is comming on if commercials and such get to me. :) Maybe you just need the release of a good cry. :)

I completely understand, Jen. It hits me every now and then when I'm preggers. Usually lasts a week or two and then subsides. And I do cry....over everything and nothing. The last time it hit me was several weeks ago. I was constantly weepy. I cried when I indulged in poutine when out with dh. (It was just yummy!) I cried when dh signaled to an older lady that her tire was flat when we were driving down the road. Commercials. Books. Any.thing. Drives me batty because in my head, I know there is no reason for it, but I just am not in control of my emotions sometimes. Take some time for yourself if you can...get some extra sleep. Those are things that usually help me. [hug]

Oh dear Jen, I totally know what you mean. I never had the blues when pregnant with A or M, but with Lydia I had it bad. I remember sitting outside in my back garden at 10pm just weeping, I had several days of that. Just weeping and not really knowing what was wrong with me. I just kept praying and eventually after a week it went and I was back to my chipper self. And then i got the end of pregnancy "funk" from about 37wks onwards...LOL, but that was different to the blues I had had earlier. I'm praying for ya gal! [loveyou]

Jen, hugs, hugs, hugs, you are reaching out!!! [lovesmile][huddle]I sooo wish more moms would do that, do this, just ask for more prayer and encouragement in times of trial, really I'm so proud of you Jen. I will earnestly pray for you tonight and until your blues have subsided.

Hang in there. I noticed more so in later pregnancies with over 2 kids that I hit a blue period towards the end, not sure why, questioning myself and my choices. Muddled through things for a while, hit that when baby was just born too trying to find that routine and normalcy.

Hugs, I hope you get a good heart to heart with your hubby or a good friend, that can help too. Or a real funny movie to lift your mood. Have you seen liar, liar, I love that movie.

Hang in there sweetie, I hope your preterm labor stuff subsides on you as well. hugs and many prayers.[pray]

This pregnancy has been that way the entire time! Poor dh, I'm constantly weepy and moody. You are definitely not alone! I've never been this way either during pregnancy. Silly hormones! ((hugs))

[Ashlee]

I understand completely! You should have seen my performance the day before yesterday.. oh boy, I was a mess! Bawling one minute (over literally nothing) then laughing hysterically the next. My poor family. I think they thought I went loopy. I guess I kind of did, lol.. for a few moments anyway. ;)

[Israel]

So sorry you're down, Jen. Your always so sweet and bubbly, so I hate to hear of this. Of course this will pass, but I will pray that it passes quickly so you can be back to yourself sweety!

[plaid]

Oh I am sorry. Pregnancy does play with your emotions. I remember just needing a good cry. Time does seem to crawl sometimes, but so soon you will be meeting that little boy that you have been waiting for and Christmas will be a good distraction. [lovebanner] And us we will keep you company. [OK]

Thanks Renee, and thank you ladies... for your support, encouragment and prayers~ I needed all of that. Renee, what you said there, that I highlighted, is EXACTLY what's going on. I just feel very confused or questioning myself... ugh. It's ridiculous! I'm not usually one to say, "Oooh, should I reeeeaaally do that?" I know usually what the right thing to do is, or prayer takes care of it, ya know? I feel muddled. Cloudy is a good word. I feel cloudy. I don't like feeling like that. Ugh.

I sure can't thank you gals enough for your loving words... and for just letting me know I'm not a weirdo or alone here. Man. I hope this doesn't last long...... hugs ladies~

I so remember the emotions, sensitivities, and weepiness that I experienced with my pregnancies. Sending you hugs and praying that you'll be feeling better soon.

[~Tara~]

oh man, I feel ya girl
those days are sooooo annoying...I hate feeling all weepy over nothing..I feel like such a freak/goon hehe

just go ahead and let it flow...I know your hubs will understand..to the best of his ability, that is "nothing's wrong honey, I just need to cry for no apparent reason" :p

big hugs for my gal *smoooooches* too

[mumof3boyz]

I am SO familiar with that. I'll have 3, 4 days in a row where it's just weep, bawl, sniffle over nothing. Then I'm fine for a week or two until it hits again. Crazy hormones!

[JRBL]

Thanks gals~

Yeah, T, Tommy has been super supportive and doesn't look at me like I'm a freak when I just start crying over something stupid. ::snort:: Poor guy... how do you explain stuff like this to a UBER-sensible, computer nerd? I mean, he's a sensitive guy and all, but when it comes to crying over Eliya blowing her first kiss or something like that... he "understands", but sooooo doesn't get it. ::snort::

Hey that's my hubby you're discribing!!! It is hard for him when I'm pregnant; I feel so bad cuz sometimes he looks so bewildered, "you're crying AGAIN? what did I do now?!!!"

PS. I finally figured out how to change the font color. ALL BY MYSELF. So maybe I'm a geek too. LOL

[savedbygrace]

I understand 100% what you are talking about. then and now. I think it's the combination of hormones, aches and pains, and being soooo tired. The best advice I have is to let it all out. Crying is how your body releases stress, that's why it feels good to cry. If you try to resist it, it just gets worse. So grab a box of chocolates and some tissues and just have at it. Big hugs friend, I wish I lived close by to give you a real big hug. We could cry together :)

[leona]

Aww hun, yeah them hormones do get ya , let it out hun ((hugs)) and plenty of them :-D
