I was suffering anorexia as a teen and still have a problem that I think I feel good a little under weight.

But it all came to me stretch marks and all.  This is what motherhood is all about.

Now I've two extra scars for the fact two is plenty and no more for me.  My slack husband could not go and do the snip.

As if I have not had to deal with all that.  I had high blood pressure with my first and I ballooned I put on over 20kgs.  I was a walking blob.

Who cares your children will still call you fat when you are the correct weight anyway.  I know I did this to my poor mum. 

My only advice is walk as often as you can.  I know that the feet swell and all that been there but man you feel better for it.  I reckon I smelt bad some evenings on the train going home while I was pregnant during summertime.

Keep smiling

Good luck and keep us posted. Minti is a good place to talk it out too...glad you're here!

I was on a lessor strength drug once I found out I was prenant.  Zoloft made me feel my morning sickness was worse.  So opted out and the rest of the pregnancy the happy hormones took hold and I was flying on cloud nine.

There is no studies I had been told how the drugs effect baby.  A friend of mine is on the strongest kind and both her children are fine.

I was told as I am breastfeeding by baby I had to ween off slowly as he said she would get jumpy.  She seems to be doing fine.  I only feed her at night now before bed.

I know that the only reason some days I get out of bed is because my four year old is saying it's breaky time. 

But I know even the doc's will tell you going for that walk with bub in the stroller will do you both a world of good.  I'm not saying to much as I cannot get my self organised to do it as my four year old would say can we go home two doors up from our house.

I joined that gym for that reason.  No children and total "ME" time.  Now that you are pregnant I'm sure that they can give you a light course of exercise.  I've seen plenty of prenant women at the gym.  I had heard that the more fit you are the less of stress on the baby and you during labour.

I was lucky I had to walk over 30mins a day to and from the train station and work each day.  I was fit and happy.

Good luck and as my friend and others tell me schedule schedule schedule as it will not get done.

I am finding it difficult to motivate myself, even getting out of bed is hard, even with Bobby(my little one) shouting at me, it kinda like I zone out.

I havnt been to see my doctor about my pregnancy yet, I am only bout 6 weeks pregnant and I am a bit concerned about talking to anyone about it as I dont want people to think I cant look after Bobby or the new baby properly.

I take Bobby out in the pushchair everyday and have done ever since he was born but now it seems like such an effort where as I used to enjoy it.

I was moving during my pregnancy and having everything in transition was very stresseful for me so it compounded the dpression. It was a very rough time for me and my family. Looking back on it now, I recognize how severe it really was. Mine didn't really lift until my daughter was 18 mos old. It was a gradual recovery (if that's the right word) and those months were very difficult. I didn't seek help but probably should have.

I found that getting out of the house and getting fresh air was someting that would lift my spirits. I had to MAKE myself get out of the house and that wasn't always easy. I had friends who helped as well. Overall though I didn't really want to do anything. I had little motivation and felt overwhelmed. Is that what you are experiencing?

Have you spoken to your OB about it? Perhaps they can shed a little light on it.

It will eventually pass, but while you're feeling blue, it's very hard to keep that in mind. There's nothing worse than feeling alone during a bout of depression so try to take the steps to surround yourself with a support system and identify what helps you get though each day. I encourage you to talk to loved ones about it and also your health-care provider.

Best of luck.
