Hello All, i'm new here and have some questions:

First of All I'm 32 and my Girlfriend is 30. We've been together 3 1/2 months, and just recently found out she's pregnant. Everything has been going great, planning a future and things for us and the new baby. However, about a week ago, she started feeling nausus all day long and has become very irritible..and now has mentioned taking some time apart, because of the way she's feeling and wants to evalute our relationship. My Question is: How much do emotions and feelings come into play when a female is pregnant, due to estrogen levels increasing. Is this a common thing, how can I be there for her?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for everyone's help! I'm just gonna give her some time to get through this part of the pregnancy and to evaluate our relationship...I'll always be there for her, and she's very independant and likes to be alone...so I'll just show her, i will do whatever it takes! I hope as soon as the second trimester starts, and her emotions and hormone levels straighten out, we'll be able to talk more..

rockelle agony auntI was an emotional mess the first few months of my pregnancy. My most vivid memories were the toilet and crying. I think that maybe you can give her a little time to get used to the idea of being a parent and having her life change. This has happened so fast for you two she is probably overwhelmed.

Hi Hun

You say you have been together 3 and half months am I right there? Its quite early on in a relationship to find out your pregnant, So if I have got that right she may have a few doubts and worrys, also this is her first pregnancy I take it so she may feel quite confussed.

Give her some time hun and see how she feels in a few days if by then she is still all over the place with her feelings sit and talk with her, No pressure as her hormones are all over the place so she could be very sensitive, I hope this all sorts itself out for you sweetheart message me if you want a chat no probs TAKE CARE LOVE MANDY xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Mandy, Thanks for responding.

Feels good to ask some questions to people who have experience with this. So would you say its normal she's feeling like she wants to 'take a break' and evaulate our relationship. This really came out of nowhere, everything was great, then for a couple days she would start crying out of nowhere, then she mentioned this. I've given her 2 days alone, which is what she wanted, but i don't want her to make a mistake of ending the relationship, if its emotions getting in the way.. She has no-one to talk about her pregnancy with, and I just wanna do all that I can to show her, I love her and want to be with her. Some details on the pregnancy, she's 9 weeks along, and everything was going fine, until this.. Anymore advice would be great, or even talking to me and sharing stories would be great.

Thanks!

Ted

Hi Hunny,

I can go on how it affected me love as every woman is different, I had very bad all day sickness with all my pregnancys for the first 3 to 4 months my hormones were all over the place one minute I would be happy the next crying and I cant say why I couldnt say It was anyones fault It just happened.

Many things can happen to a woman when her hormones are changing this way, Its so nice to hear you say how can I help, You will probably be seeing a side of your g/f that you havent seen as it can and does change from one day to the next the first 3 months and can continue.

Pregnancy can be so wonderfull and after the first 4 months it was.. before that from not being able to eat anything as I felt so ill the sickness and irritability were really getting me down as It affects the people around you that do want to help, You just dont see it that way at the time, So hunny just be there dont take to much to heart and be prepared to go out in the middle of the night for strawberry pizza as the craving of strange foods will come into it, some women dont get this but I had some very wierd and wonderfull cravings....BOTH OF YOU TAKE CARE WITH LOVE MANDY xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
