Embarrassed?

Question

I know there’s postpartum depression but can you also get pre- partum depression? This only started when I got pregnant. I thought I’d feel overjoyed to be pregnant after so many miscarriages but I just feel sad and anxious. I’m thinking about talking to someone about this because I’m getting concerned. Anyone have any experience?

Answer

I'm going through it. I have generalized anxiety disorder and I have bouts of depression already. I have been wanting a baby for about 2 years and now I feel so sad. I got prescribed zoloft. Apparently safest for baby.

Answer

Yes, that can absolutely happen. It’s called prenatal depression. Your body goes through so many hormone changes while you’re pregnant and after you deliver that it’s common for that to cause some depression. Definitely talk to your doctor about it. You’re not alone and you’re not crazy or a bad mom.

Answer

Answer

I’ve never experienced this, but yes there is such a thing.
