Is it normal to feel a bit down whilst pregnant?

[shaunzy]

Hi every1!
I'm over 30 weeks pregnant and ive been feeling really down lately. The slightest, silly little thing makes me cry or feel like crying. Is this normal?
After the 1st 3 months, where i felt ill, tired, couldnt eat much etc ive been feeling great, happier than ever, so i cant understand why i'm feeling like this now :(

sorry, it's your hormones.. give it about 18 years and it'll get better ;o)

seriously, the last trimester is hard going. try to take it easy and pamper yourself. I cried at everything when I was pregnant, happy or sad!

[shaunzy]

Yeah thats how i feel, im so over emotional. 18 years, really? oh god lol i was hoping it would go away soon.
I have been pampering myself, having nice long relaxing baths and treating myself to some retail therapy to try and cheer myself up, helps for a while then i feel down again

shaunzy Some women who ain't pregnant are like that dont worry your be fine! {:) Bit of gas&air!

[shaunzy]

lol

[sara3]

but of gas and air?? there speaks a man!!

shaunzy, it'll get better. pregnancy takes it out of you physically and emotionally. I think I slowed the tears (mostly at stuff on the news or on the TV) when my kids were about 18 months.. but it just shows you're a "feeling" person. I'm sure you'll be a great mum x

↑ bit!

[stompe]

Im a MAN Yeah! Made shaunzy Laugh "Mission Accomplished", have i upset you sara?

[shaunzy]

Aww thanx :) I have always been a sensitive person i suppose but not as bad as i am now lol but like u say, its part of pregnancy. Nearly everything i watch on tv these days, u can garantee some part of it will make me cry lol its so annoying as i dont like to cry infront of people.

Oh is it normal to break wind a lot when your pregnant? i feel like my bum never stops burping ;/

[sara3]

not yet........... !

[shaunzy]

U did make me laugh stompe, cheered me up a bit thanx ;)

[stompe]

Are you Waiting Then!lol

[sara3]

okay, I don't recall suffering in the wind department but that's they joy of pregnancy.. you never know what indignity is coming next!

maybe it's something you're eating?

[sara3]

I'm always waiting, stompe ;o)

[shaunzy]

Yeah i was thinking that, as i'm eating a lot more fruit and veg than i used too, cereal too, which i didnt really eat before

[shaunzy]

[stompe]

Save the emotion by never getting married nor having children - single people without children live longer and are more carefree, from my experience.

I don't hold grudges, stompe.. it's you that keeps rattling on about it, not me.
