10 Wks Pregnant and Soooooo Emotional

Hi, J.:

It seems to be you are now greiving over your lost baby.

If you can find a support group for grieving mom's that would help. Call your nearest children's hospital and ask if they have such a thing.

Only mom's who have lost a baby can understand your grief.
I have lost a full term baby at birth and one of my instructors lost her baby at birth. Mother lost my brother at 6 months after birth. I feel that caused her not to give me the love and attention that I needed. I always felt like the lost child. I am sure it was because of her grieving that I wasn'g a male child.

Anyway, honey, find yourself a support group and cry your heart out. Love ya. Good luck. D.

Try taking b-complex. I took it at lunch time with both pregnancies- when I didn't I was as crankly as a toddler. If one dose not help 100% try taking it twice a day. Take just before a meal to avoid any after taste. B-complex is water soluable, so your urine may look yellow/orange. Anything your body doesn't use in a few hours gets flushed out of your system, that's why you need to take it once or twice a day to carry you through the whole day.
good luck.

There is no reason why or when hormones hit with pregnancies. Each pregnancy is different. I wouldn't worry about why, but how to manage it. If you know you're losing control, leave the room if possible and cry to let it out. Then pull yourself together and move on. Talk to your husband completely about it all. The more he knows the more he can help you and he needs to have patience with you. Ask him for it! Ask him to step in when you need to walk away. You do have a right to be upset so if you feel your feelings are valid and not just hormones, make sure that hubby knows this and it not just patronizing you. I would avoid drugs if possible. There are drugs that are more safe during pregnancy, but if it's pregnancy hormones these can fluctuate up and down as pregnancy goes and the meds may not help as much or you'll be on meds during months you may not need it. Do take as much "me time" as you can get when possible to relax. You are early in the pregnancy so more than likely it will get better as time goes on. Hormones spike early in pregnancy so you'll usually so more hormone problems early on, if a woman does experience them. You are totally normal!

I would say it is due to your hormones. I would think that your husband would understand. Take it easy on yourself and do not stress yourself out it is not good for the baby that is growing inside of you. Tell him when you are having a good moment that you are sorry and it is hard to control what is going on that you are very emotional with the pregnancy. It shall too pass and get better as time goes on.

Depression can definitely be a symptom of hypothyroidism. If you haven't already done so, make sure you have a good endocrinologist who can help you find the right dose of thyroid hormone to control this condition. I also have hypothyroidism, and I know that your thyroid levels have to be monitored especially carefully during pregnancy and your dose of medication may need to be adjusted several times. Good luck.

Hi J.,
I would talk to your Dr. Any hormonal change can change the condition of Hypothyroidism. Just being pregnant naturally brings on the weepyness and short temper but since you have another condition check it out.

Good luck!

Oh you sound like me! I'm currently 35 weeks and have been on an emotional roller-coaster this time. Never felt this way with the first two. My doctor keeps telling me it is normal - hormones, which drives me crazy. Crying for no reason or turning into a screaming banshee over the littlest things doesn't feel anywhere near normal. Although it isn't constant - comes and goes. The last three weeks have been pretty calm. We've also had a lot of changes in our lives in the past several months which hasn't helped. Talking to someone has helped. Go with your instincts, seek out someone who will listen and help. If medication seems to be the right choice, don't hesitate.

Hi J.,
My sister went through the same thing during her last pregnancy. They later found out the problem was that she also had hypothyroidism. You really should seek help with that since the thyroid controls everything dealing with the body. The thyroid is nothing to mess around with. Sending up a prayer!
