What to do for this?

Question

I’m 31 weeks pregnant with my second. My first is 13 almost 14 months. Since I hit 3rd trimester I’ve had bad depression and anxiety. Same thing happened with my son and then it got worse postpartum with him. Is there anything I can do to cut down these extreme anxiety thoughts and worrying and depressed times...? Anything to calm me at all? I feel like I’m going crazy every single day. I also have had spd since 20 weeks with her and now have sciatica where I can barely walk I’m in pain all the time. Can anyone give suggestions..😞?

Answer

Speak with your doctor and journal your thoughts out. Venting to a trusted friend may also help.

Answer

Talk to your doctor. I just had my third baby in July and she is only 13 months apart from my second. I had SPD since 14 weeks and I was depressed the whole pregnancy. But I only admitted it to myself around week 28. It was so hard to do anything, I didn’t want to get out of bed, didnt want to talk to anyone, my eating habits were so bad, didnt even want to do basic things like shower or change. It was bad . And I was doing it all alone. I finally told my doctor as my due date appeared because I also had postpartum depression with my previous kids. My doctor referred me to a therapist , gave me information on support groups, they gave me the option to go on medication, and they also gave me tips on helping with the pain that came from SPD. I really recommend talking to someone about it especially your doctor.

Answer

I would recommend talking to a therapist. I had it with all three of my pregnancies and struggled with ppd afterwards. Talking to someone helped so much.
