Pregnancy depression?

Question

So I literally found out yesterday that I am pregnant. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow but wanted to hear from you all if you have gone through this..
I should be about 4 weeks along right now and this past month has been hell mentally. I have had depression before and have struggled with anxiety my whole life, can pregnancy make that worse? Now that I know I’m pregnant I’m hoping that it’s just hormones changing and not that I’m crazy!

Answer

Well I’ve been depressed for years actually, but I’m 14 weeks pregnant and it seem to just get worse for me. Sometimes I think I’m fine, but when it hits me, it hits hard. It’s hard when it hits me that I have no friends to talk to or hang out with. I love my husband and Close family, but they just don’t understand. I used to talk to family a while back, but it stressed them out so bad that they couldn’t fix me. Now I’m just a silent sufferer (if that makes since). I pray all the time I don’t affect my child and that they never become depressed like their mother. If you need anything, feel free to ask.

Answer

Yes. Prenatal depression is a thing. Speak to your doctor about it during your appointment. Congratulations!
