Depressed?!

Question

I'm almost 38 weeks. My husband is gone during the weeks but comes home on weekends for work but that will be ending soon!. Some days I could stay in bed all day and do nothing and I'm fine with that. I have little motivation I don't even want to get out of bed to get dressed and go to the store! I feel so alone! I just want my baby here already so I have something to keep me busy. Even tho I have a house to clean I don't want to do that I want to just hold and stare at my baby. Sometimes I just cry and don't know why

Answer

I was there with my last baby... My advice to you is talk to your dr ASAP. Cuz it will not get better once baby is born. I suffered so badly through pregnancy and after he was born it got super bad. With this baby, my dr looked over my history and referred me to a psychiatrist early on to make sure I don't have the same problem. I should mention I'm bi polar and have severe anxiety. This pregnancy has been so much better. My first trimester was rough but I got through it. Hubby talked with my psych on how he could be a better help for me through this and what a difference it has been. We used to fight so bad in the beginning (2 1/2 yrs ) and he would put all the blame on my depression / bi polar, but this psych helped him see the roots of the problems. In the last month I've been tired, depressed, frustrated and overwhelmed .. Hubby called my psych and we as a group are working together on how to get me through this last leg of pregnancy. 
So talk with your dr about what you are going through and they will help you so you can enjoy the last bit of pregnancy and avoid post partum depression. 
Good luck mommy
