Pregnant with depression?

Question

It stared like two weeks ago if not longer and maybe I just didn’t notice it. And I feel like I cannot talk to anyone. I can’t get out of bed I am just all around upset for no reason at all. No one around me understands just continuously calling me lazy and that I need out of the house. But I can’t get up and get motivated, I missed one of my good friends weddings today because I just couldn’t go. I just want to sleep and lay around. I don’t know what to do. I just need someone to talk to.

Answer

Go see a doctor. They can help pick out a depression med that is safe with pregnancy. Pregnancy with depression is so hard because the extra fatigue and hormones just seem to amplify the fatigue and crushing sadness and or numbness that comes with depression. You owe it to yourself and to your new baby to take care of yourself. If that means meds, do it and do not feel guilty. My last pregnancy I decided meds were bad and went cold turkey. At my appointment with the gyno for the dating scan she asked me how I was doing and I just started sobbing. She got me on a low dose of a pregnancy safe med and it helped so much. I stayed on it thro this breastfeeding and now am still on out and pregnant again.

Answer

Go talk to someone. The way the doctor explained it to me is if you’re miserable you don’t care of yourself which is not good for the baby.

Answer

Medication is ok if it’s necessary!!! Call ur doctor.  Zoloft helps.  I decide to stay on it this whole pregnancy.   Not feeling well can also feel like depression.  I know I’m not but it feels like it because I’m sick a and just want to lay all day too!

Answer

If it’s that bad there are pregnancy safe depression meds. It’s best to wait until after 12 weeks
