Question

pregnancy affect baby? I've been super depressed after a big move and haven't been able to shake it off for more than a few days to a week at a time." /> 
I'm honestly just worried it's going to set the baby up to also be sad. I just want advice. This is our second and I never have had any mental health issues until now.

Answer

So, the answer can be a yes or no. It’s going to come down to how long and how consistent the mood is. Long term and continuous, yes, it can affect development and cause complications potentially. Short and sporadic, no. 
I definitely wanna encourage you to share this with your doctor and see about getting connected with somebody to speak with 💛 You definitely need to take care of you so you can take care of baby 💛 Reaching out and admitting you need help is always the hardest part, but the results are almost always worth it 💛

Answer

I would definitely reach out and speak to a professional.
