Depression and I am only 27 weeks. What is wrong with me?
I am 27 weeks and lately I feel as if nothing in my life makes me happy.. I have a beautifull daughter and now a son is due in October.. All I want to do is sit around and cry, and I am constantly yelling at my husband. I dont mean to it just happens that way.. When I was a teenager I was diagnosed with depression, and was put on medication.. Up untill about 2 years ago I took my Zoloft once a day.. Then found out I was pregnant and quit taking it.. My first pregnancy I never felt like this. In fact I was so excited and Happy all the time.. Why is it that I am feeling like this all of a sudden.. Could depression be the culprit? I know I need to talk to my doctor but I will be unable to untill Friday at the earliest.. We are leaving to go out of town for the next 2 days.. I was just wanting to get someone elses opinion on the matter.. If it is depression then I would understand these urges to cry, but if it is just hormones then I need to overcome the issue.. Any answers is great..

Im 30 weeks preg. and i been feeling the same way I been told its way normal =]
i was speaking with my doctor 2 weeks ago.. i aswell had depression problems before..he told me that alot of woman can go into a depression nearing the end of pregnancy. especially with the changes.
You sound depressed. I’m only 21 weeks and on prozac. It can hit you anytime. Try to relax and not stress yourself out until you see your doctor on friday. You’re at twice the risk for depression during pregnancy if you’ve suffered before.
I am not sure and if you seriously believe it is depression YOU should seek medical attention.
However I believe it is just hormones and exhaustion! You may want to think about getting some more fruit in your diet, some more activity to get your mind off being “pregnant” and maybe go shopping even if not to buy anything for your expected bundle!
Best wishes with this.
Its very usually in pregnancy for a women to go through what’s called post pardon depression, since u have a history of depression makes u more likely to go through it….I wouldn’t worry to much but make sure u get in with ur doctor as soon as u can and see what he can do for u.
youre sugar levels are probably out of whack are you short on energy do you just sit around unable to mustar up enough energy to do any thing … you just mope around well if so probably sugar lay low on eating and drinking any thing with alot of sugar until you see the dr to take youre sugar test
I’ve heard of women taking zoloft while pregnant.. Ask your doctor, im pretty sure it’s alright. But ask ur doctor first, no extra stress during pregnancy is good.
Good Luck
You type pretty well for being 27 weeks old.
PLEASE consult with your physician…..
i am 27 weeks too and i also feel the same way. I have a 3 yr old son and a loving fiance and both makes me very happy. I find myself always taking out anger on my fiance. I feel bad but I just can’t help it. When he’s away at work…i’m sitting at home with my 3yr old son feeling sad and emotional at times. I was told it was the pregnancy hormones that’s making u feel this way which is normal.
If you have a history of depression it could come back or become worse during your pregnancy and you are at a higher risk for post partum depression after the baby is born. Definately talk to your doctor on Friday. You and your doctor will be able to make a determinaation if you should go back on Zoloft or another med.
Good luck
its because you are pregnant with a boy!
they do that to ya!
but it is important to keep taking anti-depressants when pregnant. talk toyour doctor as soon as possible, so you can level things out— it’s for your babies health AND your sanity!
I admire your bravery in coming forward with this problem. You should not be ashamed of your feelings, and it probably is hormones. They do crazy things to us when we’re pregnant!! Definitely see your doctor. He/she have probably seen women with the same issues and can suggest healthy advice for your particular situation. It may also be something more serious like blood sugar issues causing your mood swings, so see your doc. Please do this so you can enjoy your pregnancy like you deserve to!
I really don’t have an answer, it is more like a question, My Wife is 18 weeks and is it normal for her to scream at me for no reason, everyday? I have never had a child and it is really making me crazy. She has not been diagnosed with any disorder, should she speak to her OBGYN?
i’m 31 weeks and have had the same symptoms. My doctor put me on Lexapro 10mg and it has talk to your dr asap. He might want to put u back on Zoloft .
