My daughter is 1 weeks old today and I feel so overwhelmed and somethimes depressed. I love her with all my heart, i have never felt a love like this before, but I feel like I need a break already. I was diagnosed with prenatal depression when i was 35 weeks pregnant and the zoloft has been working, i just feel like they may have to up my dosage. This has been the happiest time of my life, but it has also been the scariest. Anyone else feel like this?

Constantly hungry, extreme breast soreness at times, late period (by a few days so far), sadness over everything, and horniness all the time. Would anyone say from that that I’m most likely pregnant or could they all just be a coincedence?
Well, I can’t get a pregnancy test, my boyfriend buys all my stuff for me and he’s in denial about the whole thing. He won’t even listen to me he just keeps saying there is no way we could be pregnant. We usually use condoms but there have been a few times we haven’t (twice in the last 2 weeks) but he pulls out when he feels himself getting close, and he says he never pre-cums so that can’t be it. He won’t even take me seriously so he’s not going to “waste” money on a pregnancy test. Much less getting me birth control other than condoms which neither of us like. And though someday I want a baby, I really can’t have one now so it’s not because I want one that I’d be experiencing fake symptoms, possibly because I was afraid of being pregnant though.

I’m 22, and my 18 year old girlfriend recently had a miscarriage. The pregnancy was an accident (broken condom). She didn’t want the baby in the first place, and briefly considered abortion, but decided she wanted it. She’s now really depressed and is convinced it’s her fault, as she did some drugs (coke, xanax) before she knew she was pregnant.
Is there anything I can do, besides just ‘being there’ for her?

I’m almost 8 months pregnant now! I do have another baby boy that is a year old. I’m into separation now with the father of my children. He have legth me pregnant and no where to go about two months ago. As he says He still loves me, but I’m just going crazy with my hormones and my attitude he can’t take it. So I’m going thru prenatal depression I’m taking medication and I’m getting help. I needed him more then anyone and anything right now. BUt I’m lonelly. I do have my family but is not the same when you have the father around. So since he lefth me he haven’t been to the doctor appoints. with me, or touch my stomach or have been here for me in any way.Now I’m not sure if I should keep him away from the labor, from my life and this new baby that I’m expecting. He says I should still give the baby his last name and if I don’t I will have problems with him. I dont get this…I try not to interfere w/ him and his 1st son..N he threats me and put his finger on my face like he have a right
