Re: Why do I feel this way???

[Guest guest]

You are feeling sssoooo normal right now. it is perfectly normal to be tired

ALL the time and that will make you feel depressed and down. It usually last

thru the first trimester but it does get better, really it does. Take the naps

when you can because it does help you feel better if you are well rested. I

found when i was down that a nice quiet shower to refresh also helped pick me

up. good Luck, i hope you feel better soon.

Robin,

This is my first pregnancy so you are way more experienced in this area than I

am, but I have learned from this group that every pregnancy is different. I

would assume that you are taking prenatal vitamins, right? How many supplements

are you taking? I have heard that if you up the amount of folic acid that you

take that that can help your energy level. Did the depression come up after you

found out you were pregnant or was it before? I guess at this time its hard to

say if the depression is making you tired or is it the pregnancy? I wish I

could offer more advice, but I would just do your best to get in all your

vitamins, make sure you stay hydrated, and just listen to what your body needs

now with the hopes that once you get into the second trimester your energy level

will improve. I'm sending positive vibes of energy your way!

Why do I feel this way???

I am about 10 weeks pregnant after having a DS wls one year ago.

Before I got pregnant I was feeling great!! Now I feel like

crap....tired ALL THE TIME, and needing naps, depression ect. Is

this normal...? I have two other children and didn't have any of

this with them...but that was before I had WLS. My bloodwork has

come back ok...but I feel alone and scared...Please help me..I have

no one to turn to for answers...My WLS dr. wants me to have monthly

ultrasounds...just to make sure.. and he put me on enzymes to help

me absorb more protein and vits.. any help and encouragement is

greatly appreciated!!!

Thank You,
