Anyone feel depressed while pregnant?

ash2 · March 2010

I didn't feel this way with my DD, but this time its gotten pretty bad. I feel frustrated and angry alot and I've been having horrible crying fits. I was diagnosed with depression and anorexia as a teen and Im terrified that I have these same feelings again. (The depression part, not the anorexia.) I feel like I can't deal with simple day to day things. If you felt this way while pregnant, did it get better after the baby came or get worse?

I did not feel that way during my pregnancy, but have you talked to your OB about how you are feeling? Maybe she can take a proactive approach or at least let you know some options. I really hope that you get to feeling better soon! You can always vent to us on this board!!

I was that way during my 7th month. My OB wanted me to take some meds to get it under control before LO arrived. I didn't, but I did feel better before she was born. After she arrived, I felt fine. But now? I'm starting to wonder if I have PPD or PPA.

I did. I kept trying to ignore it and sweep it under the rug and tell myself that I was just sleep-deprived and I woudl feel better once I had my body back (I also had another child at home, though my son was older than your DC is.)

Well, now I'm almost positive I have PPD. I felt better for a few weeks, but the feelings came rushing back three times worse. Talk to your doc. There are meds you can safely take while pregnant or he can have you start on meds right after delivery.

Good luck! {{hugs}}
