View Full Version : Sinking into a pg depression
1Cor13 10-19-2006, 07:38 AM ok, so here i go whining again..
No, for real i am just getting SO depressed being pg this time i am not even excited about the baby coming. Cause I am just in so much pain. my scatic nerve does not go away, I feel like i have the flu all the time i cant walk more than a block without having really bad cramps. it wasn ot this bad with my second. i just feel like crawling into a hole and not coming out. I dont want to do anything. how come the lord is not listening. ?? He seems to far away. like he does not care ?? like its my fault cause i am overweight.
oh this is not good.
:cry: I am so tired of trying to sleep in our chair and only getting like 3 hrs sleep a night. ok enough whining.
Madre 10-19-2006, 08:19 AM Don't sink! Here, grab this rope! [hug] I completely understand the "end of pregnancy" blues! You're uncomfortable, you can't sleep, you think you will be pregnant forever, you ache, you're exhausted, you're crabby, etc. God always cares and He is so good to you, giving you this baby. You only have a short time left and then you will be holding him/her. :D
~Tara~ 10-19-2006, 10:46 AM Oh how I hear you sweetie! Sounds very similar to my 3rd pregnancy. I just didn't even care anymore. I was sick and tired and sick and tired of being sick and tired and sore and......on and on. And I didn't even care about a baby anymore. I just wanted to be DONE!
Oh what a terrible time that was. There was still that inkling in me that said 'oh what a horrible attitude, what a horrible person you are for thinking that way' but I would promptly tell that part to just shut up because they didn't know what they were talking about. I felt a-w-f-u-l!!!
It took sinking to that very bottom and hating life, hating God for putting me through this...then I had nowhere to go but TO Him. I just fell on my face before him, bawling my eyes out, begging forgiveness. I needed Him. I knew all along I needed Him. I knew that. I knew all along, really. I just shoved it aside. I chose to let Satan win. I chose to let go of God.
Just get back on your knees and pray...pray hard, pray long, pray sincerely. He's still there. He still wants to help you. Why He has you struggling, I don't know, but I'm sure it's at least to draw you closer. Sometimes it takes us seeing God as our 'last resort' to rely on Him fully. That's sad to say, but it is the truth. And He uses even those opportunities. He wants to comfort His children. We just don't always allow Him to do so.
Hang in there. We'll be praying for you. *hugs*

1Cor13 10-19-2006, 07:35 PM Thanks for the prayers... I am having a hard time thinking about holding the baby in the end I am starting to feel resentment for hte baby cause i am feeling so sick and tired. I know terrible to blame the baby. its my fault.
I waxs going to try breastfeeding, (did notwork with dd and ds) but am thinking now I just want my body back and might do formula.
oh this is rough. :cry:
magk8ball 10-19-2006, 07:47 PM oh my goodness.. i was just about to post the same thing. I have 12 days left before the c-section, and at this very second my mom is taking care of my dd, because i felt like i was going to lose it. i ran into my room crying about an hour ago. last night was really bad.. 2 hours sleep because of the pain (sciatic nerve and back and etc.. ). madie woke up so happy and a bit hyper after her nap today (which i should be happy about because she's been sick the last couple of days), and i found myself wanting to snap at her so bad, for no reason at all. i'm so tired, and tired of the pain, and yes, it's only 12 days, but its TWELVE MORE DAYS. so in a nutshell, i get it (all the feelings of resentment and feeling sick, etc.), and i'll be thinking of and praying for you if you'll do the same for me.
Aalena 10-20-2006, 07:58 AM Oh, I'm praying for you ladies. I hope that these final days go ever so quickly for you. I send my hugs and love your way.
I began to feel this way - and even doubted my wisdom in choosing to have another baby. I was worried I wouldnt love her or cope but once she was born I can assure you the feelings 100% disappeared.
I put it down to satan trying to rob mt joy and an overload of hormones.
Hang in there
BlessedMommy 10-20-2006, 09:51 PM Those hormones can do strange things to you all right!
I completely felt the same way towards the end of my pregnancy! Like Aussie_Mum said, the negative feelings go away. Something my boss sent me really helped. It was one of those forwards that have a bunch of inspirational poems and quotes. Normally I skip past those...not enough time, but I decided to read it that day. There was a poem by Erma Bombeck called "If I Had My Life to Live Over." One of the verses said...
"Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle."
You ladies are almost there...hang in there!
