[quote=Anonymous]First trimester is really hard. I definitely felt that way first tri - and although I have a history of depression, this was notably different.  I think it's the combination of hormones, exhaustion, and the nerves/uncertainty that come with first trimester. Plus, this time around I had the worries about how having a 2nd baby would impact our first.  Like you we'd been trying for awhile, around 9 months, so it's not as if I hadn't thought about it before.  But it was all so much more real. And the hormones do not help.

Give yourself a bit of a break. Having a baby is something to be joyful about. Being pregnant leads to having a baby, but it's not always (or often) jumping for joy exciting. In fact, it's kind of a pain in the rear.  Totally worth it, but I'm 32 weeks along and I keep thinking if I could be pregnant just 12 hours out of each day, I'd love it. I love feeling the baby kick, but I would really love to be able to move as easily as I usually would, eat or drink whatever I wanted, and not worry that any false moves will give me a charlie horse that'll hurt for days.
