This is my first pregnancy and everything has been going really well so far, surprisingly. I struggled a bit transitioning from the first to the second trimester because of some stressful events, but for the majority of this, I’ve felt relatively normal. I actually thought I’ve been pretty lucky in terms of the symptoms most people talk about. Now, I also have bipolar and autism. At the time of becoming pregnant, my mental health was in a really good spot and thankfully, the medication I take isn’t harmful to the baby. I did get pretty depressed in between the first and second trimester, but that, again, was mostly due to stressful events and it also being the middle of winter. For the most part, I’ve been relatively emotionally stable. Which has been a pleasant surprise as I’ve always worried about how my mood would be while pregnant because of my bipolar and autism. Emotional regulation has always been a struggle for me and it’s only been the past year I’ve gotten to a good point in dealing with it. But over the last week, I don’t know why, but I’ve become so irritated. Everything is too much, moving, sleeping, eating, talking to people. I feel like losing my mind. I don’t know what changed and it’s scaring me a bit because my mental stability is really important to me, especially now that I’m becoming a mom.
