Pregnancy related depression/anxiety?

Question

Anyone else having worse depression/anxiety since being pregnant? I never had it with my first. I had hormonal break downs with my first and still do with this one; however, this is more than being hormonal. I can be fine one second and the next is like someone just gave me the worst news ever. I have this weight on my body that I can't shake. I feel bad for my husband and toddler because I don't feel like I am being the wife/mother I need to be.

Answer

Yes I have this. I’ve had ocd and anxiety prior to getting pregnant. This is my first and my ocd and anxiety have definitely gotten worse as well as random bouts of depression that absolutely suck. I feel like I should be so grateful for being pregnant since I had a hard time getting to this point and some days I’m just so down. 😞 you’re not alone ❤️❤️❤️

Answer

I have severe anxiety. To the point where breakdowns and tears are multiple times a week. It’s intense and this baby has made it probably 3 x worse. Don’t feel alone! Im right there with you and I feel the same way about my man. He does and puts up with a lot of emotional mess because I’m just trying to get through one day at a time. I’m here if you ever need an ear or someone who can relate 💞

Answer

I have seriously terrible anxiety but for some reason pregnancy has helped mine, which has me terrified for being pp and starting panic attacks again. Anxiety and depression are hard. don’t put too much pressure on yourself and just do the best you can over the next few weeks. Don’t be scared to ask for help. If it gets worse, talk to your doctor. There are a lot of safe ssri drugs out there you can take during pregnancy.

Answer

After my first I started using cbd oil and started exercising to help with my anxiety/panic attacks. It did wonders and helped with my sleep. I also drank chamomile and lavender herbal tea twice a day. I’m not against SSRI’s but it’s not something I want to be dependent on if I can help my symptoms myself.
