Is there Pre-Partum Depression?

Is there such a thing?  I'm very unhappy right now.  26th day of bed rest.  I have no family in town, and barely any friends, so I am alone a lot.

Also just failed my 1 hour glucose test, so in addition to not being able to do things I'd like to do - looks like I may not even be able to eat the things I want to eat. 

I feel like I am more upset and depressed about these set-backs than I should be.  A lot of the time I feel like I made a horrible mistake by trying to have another baby....which makes me feel guilty and makes all of this worse.  I would say I cry every other day.  Is this normal, or do I have a problem?

    I think it's called antenatal depression and yes, there is.

     

    Bedrest is hard. I was on modified bedrest for about two weeks and it was getting very difficult for me toward the end. If you think you might have a problem, it doesn't hurt anything to ask your OB or set up an appointment - maybe even by phone? - with a counselor.
