9 MONTHS PREGNANT Jess shows the routine she’s been doing every day.

I’m 24 and pregnant by a guy from my college class. I did find out he’s back with his ex wife. I know he’s saying he’s going to support me through this pregnancy, but again I know it’s all a lie so I won’t take him to court. Which I will anywayz. Anyways I’m falling into a deep depression it seems like. Some days I just cry because I hate the fact that I can’t change any thing. He lied to me about loving me for the past 3 years. He said he was sorry for being so stupid and not coming clean when he moved back in with his ex, but he had fallen into a financial issue and didn’t want anyone knowing. Such a lie…. I don’t know if I’m going to get through my days sometimes…. Does anyone else that’s been pregnant or is pregnant gone through these feelings? I don’t know what to do… I feel alone….

I am wondering what the effects are on an unborn baby when you go through so many different emotions. Does the baby feel what you are feeling at the time such as sadness or bliss? What are the potential long term effects to a baby once it is born if the mother has had depression throughout her pregnancy?

I had a miscarriage nearly a year ago. I am 25 weeks pregnant now and sometimes I still can’t help getting depressed over it.

Any ideas on how to distract myself from it rather than sitting around dwelling on what could have been?

My boyfriend’s ex-wife is leaving for Boot Camp next month. She tried to kill herself two years ago (2008) , wrote out a suicide not and had to be rushed to the hospital to get her stomach pumped. I havev known this man for half my life, so this is why I know the history. Anyway, she harassed me on several occasions when she was married to my boyfriend and he was in the military.
She physically abused him while they were married on several occasions and woul call the military police-no records exist. In 2006, she concealed an entire pregnancy while living on base on got no prenatal health care, physically exerted herself in hopes of a miscarriage and binge-drank alcohol on multiple occasions during the latter half of the pregnancy. What is strange is that her first pregnancy was a C-Section, and following that she had an abortion. These two circumstances make it all the more strange that she hid the pregnancy. She told nobody including her identical twin with whom she is close and lived with during the first half of her pregnancy that she was pregnant. I saw her when she was 71/2 months-she just appeared “fat” like she did with her first pregnancy-this isn’t just heresay. Some time following the surprise birth-again nobody knew she was pregnant until going into labor-at some point she was prescribed Prozac. When she was on her meds she did not abuse her spouse or harass me. After a while though she refused to take it. The military grants waivers for depression meds(which takes time), but she was processed so fast that I don’t believe the suicide attempt or the prescription meds were ever addressed. As well, she does other unsettling erratic things. A cursory glance at her Facebook suggests she is joining the military for attention from Army men and her ex-husband. She is neglectful of the children, appears largely disinterested and not bonded but uses them to manipulate her ex-husband. I am hard-pressed to believe she revealed any suicidal history or depression to the MEPS. She isn’t a very nice person, she is an alcoholic, but even so, her children don’t deserve to have a dead mother. If her civilian life made her put her own life at risk, certainly military life would add pressure. Again, I doubt these things were revealed to MEPS.

Ectopic Pregnancy signs & symptoms

I am 24 weeks pregnant, and I don’t know why, but every time I feel my baby move around, I have this deep wave of depression and loneliness sweep over me. This was a planned pregnancy, and even turned out to be a boy. (what we were hoping for!!) It has been a great pregnancy (my 2nd), healthy baby, etc. I am really happily married, and feel so supported by my family and hubby. I just dont understand what is going on. Is it some kind of pregnancy depression? Has anyone else experienced this? Should I talk to my ob-gyn?

Im pregnant for the first time and scared because I haven’t been seeing a doctor regularly, I saw a doctor regularly for the first 20 weeks. After that I had some insurance and money issues and the doctor discharged me as a client… so I went 12 weeks without seeing a doctor. Finally I filed for medicaid and started seeing another doctor, this doctor didn’t do much he measured my belly checked the fetal heartbeat and urine and sent me on my way. I saw him for 2 weeks and did my gestational diabetes test, which was elivated so I had to do the second one… mean while before I could get my doctor to give me the results they discharged me too because I still have 20 days before my medicaid case is approved, my medicaid is still pending.

The baby is due on 2-1-09 and I wont be able to see a doctor till the end of all this when Im in labor, Im upset and worried… its been a slightly complicated pregnancy in the first place, I had a kidney infection in week 21 and had to go to the hospital because I started contracting I was given a shot to stop the contractions and sent home with medication. I have had severe depression and mood swings, I have a problem keeping myself hydrated, and I just don’t know what to do and I want my baby to be okay.

Here is the problem, I am 36 weeks pregnant and up til recently I have been very excited about having a baby but that seems to be changing. Recently I have been having feelings of regret over the pregnancy, and sometimes I feel like I don’t want my baby at all. I know that sounds horrible to say and believe me, I don’t want to be feeling like this, I just can’t seem to help it. I have told my doctor about it and he thought it was just pregnancy related depression so he put me on medication about a month ago. I still haven’t noticed a difference though and I am worrying that it will get worse after the baby is born. The last thing I would ever want to do is take my feelings out on my baby. Has anyone out there ever had similar feelings? And if so, did they get worse or better after the baby?

I am pregnant and feeling extremley depressed about some other things going on, no relation to the pregnancy, however I am thinking about going to the doctor and asking about anti depressants, will I need a blood test and if so will it show that I am pregnant.
