I've been seeing a therapist to try to help me get over some of the anxious/sad thoughts, and she said that this isn't odd or uncommon. Pregnancy is a confusing time, and having a baby brings good AND bad things, so it's only natural to feel mixed emotions. It's so hard to believe that when you're feeling so lousy inside when everyone expects you to be glowingly happy. I guess I just wanted to tell you you're not the only one.
