Q: Sad im not pregnant anymore.. quite long question.. but need support & help.. never expected thi

When I was pregnant I didn't enjoy it at all.. I had SPD for most of it and was so uncomfortable. It used to annoy me that people said enjoy the experience.. but now I wish I had..
I am devestated that im not pregnant any more and miss that connection. I have the most beautiful baby in the world and I'm truly blessed but why do I feel so sad that im not pregnant. Even though my labour was long.. I even keep on wishing I was back there just to experience .. its like I'm stuck.. I love my baby unconditionally but am sad she will be my last and wondering if that is why I feel so low.. I get sad when I think of her been 2 weeks old early hrs of tomorrow morning..
Is this baby blues or just my brain realising that my beautiful little girl is my last baby..?..
I'm in tears because I feel dreadful feeling this way.. I'm not saying I'm not happy with my beautiful children I know I'm so blessed.. its hard to describe..

Anyone else felt this way?

I had the blues really bad with my second child. It was quite overwhelming. I became very dependent on being as close physically to my Dh as possible. Thankfully, the nature of his job allowed me to ride to work with him (long commute) and then spend the days with his mom or my parents as they all live in the town where he works. Thankfully, I had felt it coming on before I even left the hospital and my OB didn't hesitate to write me a Rx for Zoloft. I imagine it would've been even more of a struggle without it. I was on it for about 4 months before I gradually weaned myself back off of it. I would really recommend talking to your ob about how you're feeling. Zoloft didn't "cure" me from having those sad feelings, but it was a help. I've had strong bouts with sadness throughout this pregnancy and find that essential oils are helpful, too.

Thank you hun.. that could help. I have been feeling like this for a week and only just told my man how I feel and he said about milestones and that too, which obviously I agree but it hurts to think ahead.. he is being supportive which helps.. its such a sad feeling.. I should be cherishing every second and instead I'm sad because every day goes by to fast.. I didn't intend to feel this way.. I have the loveliest 8 yr old son and the sweetest 13 day old daughter I shouldn't be sad about anything and i'm overwhelmed with love for both of them.. probably why I feel like crap for even feeling down about something so minor.. sorry for going on.. I clearly need to write it down :).. Thanks for your help Kitten90

It does sound like the baby blues. I felt like that even after I had my first! It will get better as time goes on and she starts hitting her milestones and you get to celebrate her growing and learning =) Just keep talking about your feelings, and keep a journal if you find writing about it helps. It helped me a bit
