i was best friends with this one girl for a really long time. in 10th grade everything started to change. She started to have really bad depression. I would always help and support her. Then she said she was pregnent one day. That changed all my thoughts about her and i felt wierd even talking to her. (she only 15!!) Then one day she told me she had an abortion which i am totally against. ( just because you get an abortion doesnt mean your unpregnent, just means your a mother of a dead baby) I dont know if that was just for attention or if its true because how can you get an abortion without your parents knowing (legally) and now she acts really sl u tt y. she expects me to be there and talk to her but i feel like i cant. she smokes and drinks.
am i wrong or right? should i just stop talking to her? Was she lying about the pregnancy?
i have always had a history of mental health conditions i have depression and ocd but i have never been on medication because my parents didn’t believe in that sort of thing. while i have been pregnant i have been so depressed and anxious. i can’t even sleep and at 26 weeks i have started losing weight my boy friend of a few years, the father, said to me yesterday that i had changed so much over the past year and how im just sad all the time i know it hurts him to see me cry for no real reason so i try to hide it in front of him. im just wondering if it will get any worse after i give birth, are there any depression medications that are safe with breastfeeding. i am talking to my doctor of coarse just wanted some suggestions. Thanks
I have taken like 4 pregnancy tests and they are all negative so I don’t feel like its going to happen.
I usually have a very regular period. This month its late. Why is that? Did that happen to you>
This month we are going to do the IUI. So for the next few weeks I want to diet like crazy (I am overweight) to see if I can get some of this weight off and maybe that will help.
Anyways, thank you for letting me vent. My sleeping husband here besdie me has no idea the sadness I feel. But, I know you guys do.
******If you do not have any advice or have never had an abortion, you can disregard this question now. I’m not looking for mean answers. Thanks******
I had an abortion 2.5 years ago and I am STILL suffering horribly from the depression. I recently told myself I would seek medical help. I was only a tad over a month a long, but the abortion was decided upon due to medical risk..of a very much wanted baby that I could afford..and that was made with love, with my sweetheart. So I know we are all different..and perhaps that it was why it was very traumatic for me. The procedure/clinic was also a bad experience just because of a lot of things I saw and heard. They don’t treat you nice either..so perhaps that was just my luck.
I struggle with the depression every single day of my life and have not been the same since. It bothers me a lot because I have always believed in God and promised him, at 13, to never have an abortion…and have sex before marriage. It was something I did on my own..my parents weren’t that religious..boy did I not know any better. The sex thing lasted until about 18..and I didn’t get married…then this. It tears my heart apart. It was my first pregnancy. For those who had depression/etc. after an abortion…did it ever heal, go away..or have you since resolved it with a certain measure?
I’m 27 and already have a child, which am very happy about. (not with her anymore but have a good relationship)
My girlfriend is just 22 and at uni in a different country. After i been seeing her for 4 months, she had just started uni and she fell pregnant. she wanted an abortion, but i didn’t but felt i should support her anyway.
7 Months later she vecame pregnant again. Was a shock but she came round to the idea slowly. A week ago she had a mis carriage. I straight away went to her, but after 2 days she wanted me gone, and said she wanted to finish with me. I understand this may be depression and hormones, but its so difficult to stay away. She is a very quiet person and hates talking about feelings and stuff.
Should i just give her space? At present i jus text her to ask her how she is, and get a basic reply. Should i try and persist with her to try and get her to talk or just leave her to be alone.
At present she is stilla little sore but on the mend.
Am totally despairing right now, i really am confused as to what to do.
this was not an unwanted pregnency on my part.
And as i said when she was pregnant recently she came round to the idea and was happy about it. Now she has lost the baby and is devasted, and all u pack of tossers can say is u should be more careful.
I am asking on advice here to try and help her through this, not for criticism!
drugs? I really don’t want to put any “drugs” in my system. If there’s a natural way, I’d rather do that. She also suggested that I start taking PreNatal vitamins? I have to go get blood drawn next week to see if I have this…even though I don’t know much about it?
I do have symptoms she said like fatigue, depression (occasionally), weight gain (only a few pounds though), I’m always cold, etc. and I think my grandmother has it too??
Any ideas? Thanks.
Its for a good cause, but between morning sickness and back aches, pregnancy can be a pain! Parents TVs Anne Ebeling talks to the experts about those uncomfortable pregnancy symptoms and how to ease them.
And what is a reasonable expectation of how a partner should be in providing emotional support?
Everything I ever learnt and thought I understood about how a normal relationships work has just been completely turned around in one day when my man said he feels I push him into a corner after i asked him why he is never emotionally supportive of me as someone who has been suffering from anti-natal depression. i honestly don’t know what is right or wrong anymore. he is adamant he loves me, but then says any other man would have thrown me out by now whenever i bring it up. but with the whole weight of the pregnancy on my shoulder alone honestly already feel like a single mum.
Is it wrong to expect a partner to give just a little support and care through a pregnancy?
