Anyways my question is, is it normal to be online for like 8 hours straight? I am so bored..I have gotten myself into these free to good home websites, and I just look for things free on there, and I give things away free but I am constantly checking my email to see if I got any correspondance from anyone on the website. I am going crazy sitting home all day, and I have been getting fat b/c I am pregnant again, and I didn't even lose all my weight from the first baby. I feel like everyone hates me in our neighborhood (we just moved here) and I have no friends that I see anymore b/c of the baby and they are still partying and having fun but I am not, and thay's o.k. I just wish I had someone to talk to. I am so lonely. I feel really fat, ugly, and worthless and that everyone hates me! Is this normal?

I'm really sorry that you feel this way. I know how it feels to be depressed and feel like everyone hates you and no one understands why you are sad. I have learned that if you excercise, that takes away some of the stress and you can excercise when your pregnant (plus it will help you with the whole fat thing)It is pretty normal to stay online for eight hours if your bored and depressed. Alot of people gat like this after they have a baby. Your not alone

 It does sound to me like you are suffering from prenatal depression.
Postpartum depression does certainly get most of the attention and therefore most people do not know of prenatal depression although 13.4 percent of women who were 32 weeks pregnant showed symptoms of depression.
This is a serious enough problem that you may want to consult whith your doctor.
I have done some searching and found a couple of articles that should give you more insight on the subject.
I hope they help. Doc

The world is not going to stop to let you get back on track so get off your ass and get outside, take your baby for a walk every day, strike up conversations with people (you have the best conversation starter ever in the pushchair!!) and get off your computer. Everyone feels bad sometimes and there are bound to be other ladies in your area feeling the same, go and make someone elses day and feel the glow of happiness within you and the walking will help you lose weight :)
