Depression in pregnancy…?

I am suffering from depression due to personal issues. If I tell the obstetrician about my problem, will she be able to prescribe medication?
I have been speaking with a therapist for a year.

I know stress is bad and everything but sometimes its not controllable. I just want to know if anyone went through it real bad and still had a happy and healthy baby. I am not really the one under stress so please dont advice me to take it easy.
Thanks so much

I’ve been on the Implanon arm implant birth control for 2 yrs. Ive been feelin
some pregnancy symptoms lately. i take maca root powder for my
depression but it also is used for helpin women get pregnant. Could this have interferred with
the effectiveness of my birth control? I also heard if you are pregnant on this implant it
wont show up on an at home test…has anyone gotten pregnant on implanon?

paranoia/depression during pregnancy?

Post natal depression?

I fear I might have post natal depression, pls describe ur own personal exp if u did and did it accompany prenatal depression too??

Most people think wobbly/tearful pregnant ladies are just “hormonal”, which for most is true but at what point is it past hormones and is considered post-natal depression?

Has anyone here been diagnosed with ante-natal depression?
Sorry i meant antenatal, not postnatal

I have OCD, anxiety, and depression – I’ve had it since I was 14 and I’m 21 now. I’ve been treated for it since 14 years old too. When I found out I was.

I am almost 26 weeks and find myself crying a lot. My husband is constantly having to comfort me. How do I know if it’s just my hormones or if I should talk to.

And if so i’d like to here from those who have experienced it during pregnancy. Im 20wks goen with my 2nd child. I never gave myself time to loose the first baby weight (my daughter is 16mths) i feel VERY fat although everyone tells me i look quite skinny! Not sure what i weigh, my boobs are MASSIVE and growing! I used to be a very good looking girl, i know this through compliments that i never get now! I feel like i’ve lost all looks! Im in a realationship of 9yrs which is pretty good most of the time. My partners brushes me off telling me im stupid for feeling like this. No matter what i do to try and give my looks a boost it just doesn’t make a difference! Im insanely jealous of girls i see in pictures or in the street who have had a child(ren) and are nowhere near as heavy as me! Pls tell me what to do to bring myself back up! Im sooo low and i aint going to the doctor!! Not until i’ve tried every possible solution!
