Hi All

I am very new to belly belly. 1st time mum, and I am experiencing what i would describe as severe emotional ups and downs and don't know what to do to help control this! One minute I'm excited and happy, the next i'm bawling my eyes out (for no reason) or going completely mental (also for no good reason).

I've had a history of depression in the past but am unsure if such a happy time in one's life should trigger a bout of depression? my partner is very supportive as is my family and friends, but i feel 'alone'??

I've tried to cheer myself up doing happy things like going to the shops and looking at all the cute tiny singlets etc, but end up getting tired/ demotivated and going home.

Has anyone else experienced this? What do you suggest doing to bring myself back up to a happier state as i've read babies can be affected by their mothers emotions during pregnancy.

Thanks heaps. x
