I have suffered with anxiety and depression in the past. The doctor called it 'situational' depression because I had a ton of bad things happen to me in a short time that caused me to be depressed. It has been almost 2 years since I've been on any medication for it. I have felt great since.

I'm currently 17 weeks pregnant and have a 3yo daughter. I'm a SAHM and I have noticed I've become short tempered and easily irritated with my daughter. Every time I see my OB, she always inquires about how I'm feeling and if I think my anxiety is coming back. Every time, I tell her no but I'm wondering if my behaviour and attitude towards my husband and child is indeed cause for concern. It's hard for me to determine if I have an issue I need help with or if it's just normal pregnancy hormones.

I do plan to talk with my doctor at my next appointment but I feel like she's trying to make my previous anxiety/depression a reason to push meds on me now. I don't want to take anything I don't necessarily need. Has anyone else experienced this? Am I just dealing with normal hormones or is there something deeper going on? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ladies ❤
