yes it can be. Many women expecially those who didn;t want to become pregnant get depressed... Do u have a good suppot system?

Well when i found out that i was pregnant i wouldn't say i was depressed. i think that i was more worried about what i had to do and what i needed to do for my soon to be child. If you have a good support system then you will be fine. it's okay to freak out a little but with the help of others and love ones you can make it through anything.

I was also 5 weeks along when I found out. I cried for a week straight, and suffered from depression for about 2 more months. How old are you? Is this your first pregnancy? I'm 22 and 21 weeks along w/ my first. I would have got an abortion had it not been for my fiance and this feeling that I'm not in a desperate enough situation to terminate it. Are you w/ the father? Hope that you start to feel a bit better.

It can be totally normal I am going into my tenth week and have now since I was about 4 weeks along somedays I am so thrilled and other days I am worried about being the worlds worst mommy and then other days I am thinking selfish things like all the things I can't do and get a bit down about that , but there is a big diffrence between hormones throwing you for a loop and true depression , like not being able to get out of bed no desire to do anything even eat those sorts of things , is this unplanned do you have a support system? even a local clinic will offer wonderfull counseling to help you sort out your emotions.

Hormones Honey, they are a BIOTCH! Talk to your Dr if it gets worse, there is a condition alot like post partum depression you can get while your pregnant.. Hang in there!! I had to be medicated during two of my pregnancies because it was soo bad...

It is very common to feel depressed. When I found out that I was pregnant with my son I cried what seemed like forever. I didn't know if I was ready (although I had no choice now) or whether or not we financial could give this baby everything the he/she needed. I had plans and this wasn't it. But the minute I heard his heart beat for the first timet his all changed.

I am not one to go out and mention GOD to anyone since well I don't believe it is my spot. But I do believe that GOD would not have giving me such a blessing if he didn't believe my husband and I could handle taking care of this baby. I also started to tell myself that if I truely wasn't ready that I would have did something to prevent my son from happening. I use to say that he wasn't planned but he wasn't prevented either. After awhiled I said when asked I would say that he wasn't prevented so I guess you could say he was planned. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.

Just hold in there things will get better. If they don't then talk to you doctor he/she can give you something for the depression that will not harm the baby in anyways. I will actually be starting Anti-depressants in my third trimester since I had post-partum depression with my first and was told that I had a higher chance of getting it with the second.
