Anyone else suffered from depression?

Question

I am a first time mom and about 17 weeks and 2 days pregnant . Lately I’ve been feeling really down and alone. I find myself crying a lot too. Has anyone else gone through this ? It’s driving me crazy thinking I’m the only one but I’m so depressed 😢😞

Answer

I’ve struggled with it since I got pregnant. I’ve talked to my OB about it and she assured me that it’s very normal during pregnancy due to all the hormone changes, body changes, life changes, extra stress etc. She did say that if it got to be too bad there are some medications approved for second trimester and on that can help but I’m trying to avoid it if I can. She also referred me to a social worker who I’ll see for a couple appointments leading up to and after babies birth just to make sure I don’t develop post partum depression. Your OB may have something similar they can offer you for extra help. Do you have any family or friends you can talk to or go out with to take your mind off things? Try to stay positive, it’s probably just all the pregnancy hormones! 💕
