  Me too. I have little energy but I'm bored? I've been trying to do more each day even if it's small. Yesterday and today my hormones have been crazy out of nowhere and I've been on the verge of tears over everything. It doesn't help that my back is giving me issues so I can only walk for short periods of time before I'm miserable. Good luck and hope you feel better.

  Thanks Nikelizabeth, that's what I've been doing, my back isn't so much a problem anymore as I've gotten used to that pain but walking around seems to make me overheat every 5 minutes shocking really considering the UK is always cold!

  Me too!!!!  My midwife recommended talk therapy, which I HATE..... I'm already on Lexapro, but I'm thinking I need a higher dose... My main concern is that it will get EVEN WORSE once baby is here....

  
  

  All that to say, I'm right there with you and wish you healthy thoughts!!

  Hey all, just wanted to say that I have been depressed too. I started Zoloft via my OB a few weeks ago. You are not alone in these feelings. It's rough at times. I am also concerned about postpartum. I hope you all get to feeling some relief very soon.

  As made clear from these responses, you are definitely NOT alone. I am struggling with a significant depression, too. It has hit hard, especially in the past couple weeks. I'm on Prozac, but don't feel like it's doing nearly enough. I wish I could provide you with some great insight or ways to cope, but I really don't know. That's the challenging thing about depression; all of the (excellent) suggestions are so hard to do when you are in such a sad place. For instance, I see the sunshine outside and it only makes me more depressed because I really don't want to go out in it despite knowing it would help...

  
  

  Try to get some physical exercise in whatever form works for you (swimming for me). Take care of yourself. Know you can reach out for support.

  I suffered from Postpartum Depression after my last pregnancy. I never ended up getting on meds, but instead talked about how I was feeling and forced myself to go outside on walks. I finally came out of it and started bonding with my son. Mom guilt, complete change of life(style), trouble breast feeding and numerous other things took their toll on my psyche. This time around I'm having my placenta encapsulated and taking that to hopefully level out my hormones and provide me with some balance. I was so wigged out by the thought of it last time, but after going through PPD, I'd rather take some capsules than go through it all again. I've heard from so many people that it works wonders, so fingers crossed it will help me. Keep your head up girl. You have a lot of support and love around you.

  Totally agree with the above, a little exercise and sunshine has been doing me some good. I definitely feel where you're coming from though. I've been getting down that I can't do things like I used to; everything takes me forever. Doing the dishes for 30 minutes is exhausting. Working 12.5 hour shifts in my feet is exhausting. But I've been trying to make some time for me and my husband and even though it's very out of character, accept help when I need it. Totally never ask for help with anything and now I'm more like "okay, yeah that'd be nice".
  
  Chin up; healthy babies coming our way in June.
