Thanks for this Hopeful - might be needing it.....
I am pregnant with baby number 2 and was suffering with PND when fell pregnant so have stopped my meds (slowly of course).
However I have had an AWFUL day today - so f**king angry the whole time. My god this morning, DH did one little thing wrong and I completely lost it throwing stuff around, pushing him around and wanting so much to hit something. This was followed by collapsing in a heap of tears and wearing myself out completely. Haven't felt like that before.
LO was toddling around and realised something was not right cos she came over and held my hand (which made me cry even more for being like this in front of her) and then tried 'honking' her nose to make me laugh like I normally do. Bless her......
I am 12 weeks and my docs has said if I still feel like this at 15 weeks then to go and see her cos it isn't just pregnancy hormones. Have also found out I have been referred to a consultant for my pregnancy and we think it is for my PND issues cos I was referred before my first scan so can't be anything to do with the baby. Right now I think seeing someone might be a good idea!

Hi
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Do take it easy as much as you can with a little toddler around of course. Make an effot to make time for yourself.
Hope tomorrow is better for you. I found coming off meds made me feel a bit pants but this did ease off so maybe that's what happened today but it's good you will be under the consultant and it sounds as if your doctor is switched on.
All the best
Monica

Had a crap day yesterday - lots of shouting and screaming at DH, lots of crying and throwing things around and all in front of LO which made it worse cos now I feel like a terrible mummy. She kept trying to give me cuddles which made me cry even more.
I just don't get why some people sail through pregnancy and I just collapse in a heap of rage and tears every other week. Doesn't seem very fair....am worrying now that I have got depression but really don't want to be taking stuff while pregnant, cos midwife says they keep you in hospital a bit longer when baby is born while it gets out of its system.

Hi Nicola
Well your hormones are yet to peak so try not to worry to much t thsi stage. But I will say that if things dont get any better not to rule the meds out, I know it is not the ideal for you, but bear in mind that you need to be ok too..
How was today for you??
WG xx

Yeah I do keep thinking if I felt better then things might be better all round for everyone else so maybe meds wouldn't be so bad. I have this appt with consultant mid June so will see what they say or if I have calmed down a bit..... Better today - back in more normal routine which always helps. When DH works funny hours it always stresses me out because it affects my plans for the days cos he has to sleep, so maybe that is a bit of a trigger but can't exactly change that. Like my mum says if he works funny hours it means I don't have to go back to work so you kinda have to work through it. Thought he was working late again tonight but he has just text to say on his way home so am happier bout that. Got a day of LO on my todd tomorrow so bit worried bout finding stuff to do or we will go stir crazy..... best get thinking.... xxx

Thanks WG!
Worked yesterday morning at the nice school in the easy class so was good - then went to a midwife drop in centre newly set up near us to ask about my back/pelvis pains.
Been getting these pains for couple weeks now, feels like been horseriding or shagging for a week solid! She said was very common and is called Pelvic Girdle Pain - muscles and pelvic bones down below are weak from 1st pregnancy and childbirth and unable to support second one very well so it hurts! Got to avoid climbing stairs lots and carrying heavy things including LO. Also have to keep legs together (!) when getting up from sitting or laying down. Not a lot else they can do but she said if I am not careful I will be crippled by October!!
Oh and they found high sugar and protein in my sample so they have sent them off for tests cos might have urine infection. Did blood sugar test and was fine so I don't have to cut out chocolate just yet - phew! ;D
Am not sleeping well atall at the moment so am moody and knackered during the day - just couldn't cope with LO's tantrum this morning which involved throwing weetabix all over the table and floor so I left her in the hall screaming. She is so like me it is scary - has to throw things when in a strop, and hard things too, soft things just will not do!
Have started using my maternity pillow again cos midwife siad put pillow between knees at night (already! Didn't do that till about 8 months with LO!) so am getting used to having that there I suppose....

Sending you big hugs hun! Much prefer to do horseriding than shagging for a week lol lol. And even better that the legs have to be crossed - i think i could write that in my book of excuses to get out of sex - havent thought of that one!!!!!! On a serious note hun - you take it easy and sounds like you need to rest some more which i know is easier said than done but try and put your feet up as much as you can.
Take care

Hey Nicola
I had that pain in pregnancy too, but was informed at the time it was SPD, it was constant and did my head in! Does it bother you in bed at night at all??
Hope your weekend goes ok hun x Any plans??

Well, slept better with the pillow last night - when I could get some sleep that is. LO was up every hour from 10pm and by 2am I lost it and left her to cry hoping she would go back to sleep. AN HOUR later she was still going and I thought the neighbours were going to call the police so I went and laid her down again. She then went through till 7 but I lay awake worrying as to why she won't sleep and so I have had about three hours proper sleep now. She has been doing this for a couple of weeks now and I thought it was cos we have been away but she just isn't settling back home. DH worked ALL night last night and is back today till 5pm. Then he is working tomorrow and Monday too. So am on my own - well, saying that we have a birthday party this afternoon and my dad is coming up tomorrow so not all bad. DH is on double time so we shouldn't moan really. And at least it is sunny and warm..... xxx
