Should I tell my OB I’m depressed?

Question

So I do have a history of depression, but as of late it’s come back full swing. I’m 31 weeks pregnant & I just feel like I can’t function. I want to get help for it but I’m scared they’ll think I’ll be unable to take care of my baby when she’s born & take her away or something. What will my OB do if I tell her I’m depressed again?

Answer

Yes Tell your OB so they can help you. Post Partum depression is serious especially when youve had depression before hand.

Answer

My OB asks this several times during one visit. 
Depression is very real and happens to the best of mothers out there. 
What makes you a great mother is you’re getting help.

Answer

Absolutely! We've all been there!

Answer

Nobody will think this stops you being anything but a wonderful mother. You should definitely speak to your ob. I know it's scary and I have absolutely been there but they are wonderful and there's no judgement. Just get yourself right xxxx

Answer

The last thing anyone wants to do is separate a baby from it’s parents. Get yourself sorted 😊
