Im 20 weeks pregnant and going through unmedicated depression. It gets so bad sometimes i get so bad i focus my depression on him so much i blame him. Things like im not really inlove with him or he could never support me in what the baby and myself need.
I know this is all not true but i cant help it. I ly in bed and cry and wont talk to him. I feel guilty after this happens cause he is sweet and caring and loving about it. But i need some advice to help me help him through this while im so down.
I dont want to lose him and want him to stop worring.
Please help!!

I am 32 and 1/2 weeks pregnant. My husabnd is an active duty Marine. He has recently started his pre-deployment training. He is my support through our whole pregnancy. I have to send him a red cross message when i go into labor while he is in training. Anyway, with him gone, and no ability to contact him at all, it makes me feel so alone and for the past 4 days since he left, i havent been able to stop crying. I cant keep my mind of his absence because everything in our house reminds me of how much i miss him. But i cannot wander too far from the house in case i go into labor. I am a high risk pregnancy due to my RH – situation. I have had an extremely healthy pregnancy so far, this is my first bump in the road. Does anyone have any advice, or know anything about the effects of stress and depression on a 32 week pregnancy? I appreciate your help.

My sister and her husband want to start trying. She is in the process of situating meds to something safe in pregnancy, so she is more emotional. I am 37 weeks pregnant right now, dont suffer from depression. I am trying to be someone she can talk to, but I am afraid I may make her feel worse.

Do you have any good support websites or online forums, etc so she can talk to others in the same situation?
