Only in the 3rd tri and know I'm gonna have it....

in Postpartum Depression

I am 29 weeks and have HATED every minute of being pregnant. There is nothing I enjoy about it. I don't go out anymore, nor do I have any desire to- what's the point? I have never been so bored and miserable in all my life. I hate everything, my job, my life, don't even want anything to do with my husband. The icing on the cake came yesterday when the ob said I could not excersize any more. That was the one, only and last thing I still enjoyed and kept me sane, now I have nothing. I already feel like my husband and son will be better off without a useless person like me around. My next ob appt isn't for 3 weeks, and I plan on telling her all this then. What else can I do? Did anyone actually feel better once the baby was born?? I felt good until I got pregnant.....

    Please don't wait 3 weeks to talk to your OB.  Call her today and talk to her.  I'm curious as to why she said you can no longer excercise - can you at lease still go for walks?  At least it would still be something.  But please, call her and tell her you need to talk to her ASAP.  You can get depression while you are pregnant.  And, yes, it can get better.  Good luck, and let us know how it's going!

    I agree with jaime..please don't wait 3 weeks. Call today. I started with some depression while I was still pregnant, but I chalked it up to just being hormonal. Now that I look back I was just as depressed while I was pregnant as I was after delivery. It got a little better once I had LO, but as time went on got worse and worse. I was a miserable pregnant woman as well and I wish I would have said something sooner.

    Dont wait! I just got diagnosed with it yesterday and horrible anxiety/panic again. My doc said if she had known sooner she would have started me on antidepressants months before LO got here. Wish I would have done it! If you REALLY think it could happen see someone now

    I agree with PP. Talk to the OB now and have a plan in place for post partum. I was execting depression and got panic and anxiety instead. Luckily I had prozac ready to go but no therapy. I had to wait one month to see somone (by then I was fine). I was desperate the first week and wish I had an appoinment lined up. Good luck!

    Also as a PP alluded to, many OB's don't know sh!t about safely exercising during pg, so they just tell you not to.  I am suprised you can't at least power walk if you aren't on bedrest!
