Anyone else feeling really down?

Question

I don't know why but for the last two weeks I've been feeling really down and depressed. Borderline crying over anything and nothing at all. I can't seem to find my appetite back and I'm almost 32 weeks. Last week my doctor told me I need to focus on my weight gain since I was underweight before I got pregnant but it's so hard when you don't want to eat ANYTHING. Literally, nothing sounds appetizing, not even foods that I obsessed about like 1-2 months ago. Anyone else going through something similar or have gone through this?

Answer

Around 27 weeks (a little after being placed on bedrest) I stopped sleeping at night and lost my appetite. I really struggled to eat anything. My primary doctor called to check on me and I mentioned those symptoms and that I had been feeling really down and hopeless. I had been having days that I felt really alone and depressed and would just cry. She placed me on Zoloft (25mg) to help me to start taking care of myself again and to help prevent postpartum depression. I've been on it for about 5 weeks now and my appetite is back and I'm sleeping again. I'm certainly not saying that you need medication- everyone is different- I'm just saying how incredibly important it is for you and your baby to talk to your doctor about how you feel and your lack of appetite. I hope you feel better soon!! 💓💓
