Depressed

Holy sh*t, I have been depressed the last couple weeks.
I remember being down on and off when pregnant with DD#1 but nothing like this. I can't stop crying over things.
I'm hoping it goes away once DD#2 is here and I do plan to mention it to my doc on Tuesday.

Sometimes I feel guilty about not feeling happy and excited during this time but maybe this is just my way of being pregnant.

Anyway, just throwing it out there in part as a vent and in case anyone else out there is feeling the same way.

    I don't have any advice but I wanted to say that I'm sorry you're feeling this way. You should definitely mention it to your doctor and perhaps talk with someone.

    I completely agree. Depression is not something to ignore and hope it goes away. Please do talk to your doctor, and in the meantime, I hope you find little things to focus on to brighten your day!

    I just want to let you know you aren't alone. I finally admitted it to DH the other day that a lot of the time I'm dreading this baby's arrival. It has been very hard to get excited and the closer it gets the more anxious I feel. I'll be bringing it up with my doctor at my next appointment as well.

    Hang in there lady!

    I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I'm also dreading this baby's arrival a lot of the time. I just mentioned to DH tonight that I'm having a tough time emotionally. I'm also going to mention it to my doctor.

    I feel a little better just reading these posts and feeling less alone.

    Sorry you're feeling down :( I don't have much advice but I've heard similar stories from friends so I'm sure it's not rare. Just try not to bottle things up :(

    Participate in some snark, it's fun ;)

    I recommend finding a counselor now. It hit me a few weeks ago. It has definitely helped. Getting your doctor involved too is a great idea.

    Thank you everyone!
    I worry about postpartum too. I remember how crazy the hormones can be in the first few weeks.


    Hugs to everyone. It's nice to know there's support (and snark!) to be had here.

    I'm sorry you're feeling this way too. I have suffered from depression my whole life and it's not something to play around with. We wanted this baby so badly and I feel so blessed that it's almost time, but I also find myself dreading it and that scares me. I cried for hours the other night and couldn't explain exactly why to DH. I talked to my doctor last week and she's having me put on medicine as soon as LO arrives. I've been on meds for years and they've been a life saver so I never shoot them down/judge people for it.
    Do what you need to do for your health and know that there are lots of places to turn when you need support! Try to remember to stay aware.

    No advice - just sorry you're going through this. Def talk to your doc and if you need people to listen we're always here!

    You really aren't alone! I told DH the other night that I wasn't excited at all, more like overwhelmed and terrified. I hope your doctor can help and keep us updated on your progress!

    So sorry to hear that you're feeling like that. I'm medicated for depression/anxiety and I think if I wasn't I may well not be doing very well- I kinda feel like I'm just holding it together.
    I see a psychologist too and have bumped my sessions to fortnightly instead of monthly.
    I think with my first pregnancy I was severely depressed but didn't realise, just thought it was normal hormonal stuff.
    Drs don't seem to pick up on of be on the look out for antenatal depression- you HAVE to tell them.
    Let us know after your appointment how you go.
