Is this normal?

Question

Hi guys I'm a first time mom & im 32 weeks pregnant but I just can't seem to stop crying & feeling like I'm depressed. I keep getting mad at little things I keep feeling like I'm a bad person. I don't know if its my hormones or what the problem is but I just can't help it. It's like I can control my feelings & I don't like myself anymore. I need help I can't stop having crying spells. It's starting to affect my everyday life & I don't want it to. Any advice?

Answer

I had the same thing happen to me. Pregnancy is hard, and the hormones are no joke! Seeing a counselor at the hospital helped me a ton. Good luck! It will be over soon. My depression lifted the second I met my daughter. I hope it works like that for you, too.

Answer

Please make an appointment to talk with a therapist or counselor. Depression during and after pregnancy is a serious thing. The sooner you meet with someone the sooner you can start a treatment plan. 
You are not alone, many women experience this.

Answer

I have heard that depression during pregnancy is very real thing and I have been hearing more about it. It could be your hormones but maybe you should mention it to your OB at your next appointment or make one if it's not soon.

Answer

Talk to your OB. Tell them it is effecting your life. Normal pregnancy hormones cause occasional bouts of extreme emotion its not constant and it doesn't effect your life in any way other than feeling a little silly when someone notices.
