Pregnancy and depression

Me

I have depression. It’s genetic and I feel it mostly in the fall. I’ve had it for years. Some days I want to cry for no reason and want to sleep. And other days I feel just fine. I’ve sought help and it work wonders!

I got pregnant last October and since then, I haven’t felt depressed at all. I’m so happy that I have such a loving and supportive husband and family. These are the times that you really need them.

I’m concerned I’ll have post partum depression and my doctor already said I should start looking for counseling. What’s your experience with depression before, during and after pregnancy?!
