A lot of us women go through this just because we are pregnant, and you, my dear, have an additional reason to do so since you're far away from a familiar place. This is normal. What isn't normal is if you are crying all the time and for a period of at least 2 weeks. If so, you may be suffering from depression.

When I was pregnant with my twins (about 15 weeks or so), I found myself crying on a part of a movie that wasn't particulary that sad.. if at all.

Im exactly the same and it can cause tentions we just had the talk recently about how im always down but alot of worries come with being pregnant and your bodys changing so fast, with my first we had a book from the nhs which explained whats daddy sld expect unforunatly for me he forgot a whole lot more than i thought, why did i think hed rem? lol anyway theres alot on the market but basically you need to talk tell him what you need from him and come to a compramise, sometimes just telling him youd like a cuddle or to run you a bath for no eason will lift your spirits but if he doesnt know you need him to treat you with extra care he wont.

hope you feel better soon a few more mnths on the emotional rollercoaster youll be looking back thinking weird im nt that bad lol

I agree with everyone, pregnancy brings on so many heightened emotions so if you were already a little sad which is to be expected with just moving to a new location then that is going to be heightened at the moment.

Mention it to the doctor just in case and for your own piece of mind and then get out of the house.  Are you working?  If not maybe find a club or something you can participate in - or chat to us on Minti, feel free to make me your friend.

Aww that is no good, not at all. I am 15 weeks pregnant and I am always blabbering. My hubby just says "its ok I know its hormones" so im lucky he understands!

It's just like he says, hormones, which are running a muck in your body! It's like PMT/PMS but about 100 times worse and lasts 9 months (or there abouts)

If you are really worried about it, when you have your next check up at the hospital mention it to the nurse/doctor. They might be able to help you out.

Being new to the country without the support system you would have once had would just make it worse. I know this from my first pregnancy when I was on the other side of the state from my friends and family and felt very very alone and isolated. Jump on the phone and talk or since you have the internet get skype and get your family to get it and talk to them as much as you can to give you that little bit of support!

I really hope you start feeling better, being pregnant is hard enough without extra problems worrying you. Take care and rest up! It is all worth it in the end :)

I am sure you have heard of baby blues and post natal depression (or more corectly - post partum depression).

Baby blues don't just occur after birth. They also occur during pregnancy as well. It is an emotional reaction to the hormonal changes that have occured. If it really worries you then talk to the midwife, otherwise just check out any of the articles here on Minti about baby blues. Most of the advice is suitable for you to.  I will list my last piece if I can work out how.

Try to get out. A bit of exercise will do you a lot of good - even if it just walking - or - well - I wont go there.

I  may be a male and I know it is easy to say - but try to relax and try to enjoy the experience.

cheers
