How do you tell the difference between pregnancy hormones and depression?

Question

I get that that's kind of a vague question. Idk what else to add.

Answer

It’s worth bringing up to your provider regardless

Answer

Depression can be differentiated if it is going on more days than not during a two week period or longer. Google can give you more specific symptoms, but if it’s a short-lived thing I would say it’s probably hormonal mood swings due to pregnancy, but like I said if it’s been going on for two weeks or longer then definitely talk to your OB. Postpartum depression is talked about a lot, but prenatal depression is hardly ever talked about, but it is definitely a thing, and if you think that’s you then you should seek help.

Answer

Depression can happen especially during pregnancy. If you are feeling down speak to your doctor. If the down feelings go on for too long then please advocate for yourself.
