First time pregnancy worries and struggles
Im 11 weeks today. The last 6 weeks my morning sickness has ruled my world. Puking daily trying to eat when I can. Zofran has been a life saver. But I’m starting to worry about my anxiety/depression. I take lexipro and I was told I should just keep doing what I’m doing but I’m feeling more lonely at times and having a hard time on the daily. My partner is on deployment through the end of August so I’m kind of doing this on my own until then. Any advice on how to push through? I have local family but am having a hard time asking for help.

Thank you Shay! Yeah I’m in therapy. She’s the one who suggested I find people who are going through similar things. Sunshine sounds amazing and I do my best with eating anything my stomach can tolerate. Going to try to fit it more walks throughout the work day.

I'm sorry you're struggling 😭 pregnancy and mom life are rough and are lonely. Are you in therapy? Also I would talk to your OB to see if there is anything else you can take. I personally have been trying to get outside more in the mornings, even if it's just sitting in the sun. Babies take a ton of our nutrients and not being able to replenish those because of morning sickness can really deplete our storage. Which low vit D and B vitamins can lead to depression and anxiety. Now that you're feeling a bit better (nausea wise) maybe try getting in some foods that have extra vit d and vit b can help as well. Sending you love girl! Also as hard as it is, definitely reach out to family. You're going to need a village for when baby comes. Try not to push your people away from you🩷🩷
