Depression during pregnancy?

Question

I feel awful. I’m 25 weeks pregnant. I’m so happy and excited for the baby but I think I’m also experiencing some depression. The mornings in particular have been so hard. I’m having trouble getting motivated to do anything and I’m very quick to anger. I feel so guilty, my 3 year old just wants to be with me and have my attention but I feel so overwhelmed I feel like I just need to be alone.

Answer

You are extremely emotional while pregnant and the fact that you giving all your energy to grow that little love bundle means you going to feel drained all the time.  You are a good mom because you noticed that your 3 year old craves your attention.  There is an old wives tale that if yiur daughter wants to be near you, you carrying a boy and vice versa. Don't be hard on yourself.  Just a few more weeks to go. Try eating fruits and liquids which will help.
