Pregnancy and Depression?

Question

Anybody struggling with their depression since they fell pregnant? Mine feels like it’s gotten worse but I could be perpetuating... 
I’m always unhappy. How to I get by or past it without having to make a big deal out of it.
I’m a silent sufferer I survive because I know I’m strong enough. I’m just wondering if anybody else has it worse since falling pregnant?

Answer

I have. It’s hormone fluctuations. I would avoid medication, even if dr says it’s safe unless you’ve considered milking yourself. My SIL was on antidepressants her whole pregnancy with my niece and 8 years later baby girl isn’t hitting simple milestones

Answer

I’m so glad I ain’t the only one. I have it full blown . One day I’m good and other days it’s really bad

Answer

I definitely have. I had it before baby and it became full blown postpartum depression after #1. I got it under control with medication and therapy, and it’s been decent until I got pregnant with #2 (currently 12 wks). 
I would definitely talk to your doctor and see if they recommend any particular therapist or counselor, some specialise in treating prenatal and postpartum depression. If you’re not insured you can see if your local health department or WIC website has any recommendations.

Answer

Definitely speak to your doctor or midwife
