PPD concerns?

Question

Hi there ladies,
As we get further along in our pregnancies, are any of you feeling more emotional than you did in the other trimesters? I can’t shake this constant feeling of being overwhelmed and anxious, and I’ve struggled with depression before but I never thought I’d experience this when pregnant. I’m so thankful to be able to carry my daughter after three miscarriages and I just hate that I’m feeling this way when I know I should be elated. 
I constantly find myself annoyed and easily irritated with my husband, and doubting our relationship and it’s strength as we head into this crazy life changing event.
I want to talk to my doctor about it but my husband comes to every appointment with me and I know he feels that my concerns are just me being hormonal. 
Anyone else!? Please tell me I’m not the only one?

Answer

I cannot relate, however I feel that you shouldn’t let your husbands presence hinder you from talking to your doc. 
You could even start of by saying, this could be nothing but I need to share how I feel & let it all out girl.
It’s important for you & for baby. Men don’t get it & we can’t expect them to understand what I feels like to be that overwhelmed. If it’s out of your control, absolutely speak up.
Best wishes.

I had severe ppd, ppa and ppocd with my first born. Lots of facets went into it and I suffer from general anxiety and depression. I didnt have anything with my second born. But they were also completely different babies and still are very different personalities. I went into this pregnancy positive that I could do it again without ppd and such but by second trimester I started having anti partum anxiety. I went back to my therapist and it helped a lot and so far I've been doing better. I would suggest talking to your dr about any concerns and start seeing about therapists in your area you could potentially see. Therapy is so beneficial. I was on meds for about a year after my first but havent needed them even for my general anxiety because I reach out to my therapist when I'm having issues. Be proactive and stay positive! ❤

Answer

I would bring it up with the doctor especially if my husband was in the room. If he's thinking its hormonal maybe hearing from someone who deals a lot with this might help. While you might be able to pick up on certain symptoms there may be other symptoms that only he can pick up on so he needs to be aware of what to look for.

Answer

I completely relate. I’m constantly anxious about money, my relationship, my abilities as a soon to be mother. I get it girl. Just keep your eye on it and get help if you need it ❤️❤️

Answer

Yes this last trimester I’m sooo emotional. I had depression before pregnancy tho and am on anti depressants during so I’ll just stay on them when I give birth. Medication isn’t for everyone but it does help me!
