Feeling a little blue while pregnant normal or something serious?
Since the beginning of my 2nd trimester i have felt very sad and depressed. I don’t think about hurting myself or anything, just really sad. Like i don;t know what i am doing. How do i prepare for this baby? I am scared to talk to my doctor for fear that she would call social services or something. I had that happen before when i was a child, went to a therapist said i was depressed so they called social services. I have always suffered from depression since i hit puberty. but never medicated. I don’t know if its possible to have Post par tum depression while pregnant, or just my hormones. another reason i don’t want to talk to my doctor is that i was raised very old fashioned by my grandmother who taught me not to say anything about depression to anyone. Just deal with i. my question is, is it normal to feel depressed and lonely during pregnancy, even with a husband around to support you??

Thats actually normally but treatable you need to talk to your doctor they want do that!
Depression symptoms are totally normal during pregnancy, due to the variations of hormones.. If it gets too bad, talk to your doctor. Maybe he/she can help. They won’t call social services or anything unless you’re to the point where you’re wanting to hurt yourself or the baby. Cheer up, though!
you might end up with post pardum depression after you have the baby. you need to let your doctor know just in case. it happens to a lot of women and can be very serious to you and baby. you should speak up
Absolutely tell your doctor. She/he won’t turn you in for child abuse for a child you haven’t had yet! Besides…it is very common. Your hormones are ca-razy right now. I cried all the time when I was pregnant- for no reason! After I had the baby I got severe post-partum depression and I didn’t talk to my doctor about it for a couple months. She got me on meds that really helped me. Silly I didn’t say anything, I could have gotten help sooner! But, like you, I was afraid they would call the authorities and take my baby away!
My sister got very sad when she was pregnant, and her doc put her on anti-depressants during pregnancy, and she was 100% after that!
You are normal! Get some help so you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.
i get depressed every now and then too, I would see your doctor, they wont call social services- as you are not suicidal, but they WILL help. The most important thing is that you get happy again so you can look after yourself and your baby.
If you are depressed now there is a high risk that you will get the baby blues once the baby is born.
Honestly, the best thing you can do is talk to someone, depression is very common, and you aren’t alone.
yes, its very normal. I cried just about every day of my pregnancy. If you speak to your doctor he can perhaps give you something to make you feel better. I did not take any thing. I just kept crying. Now a happy mother of a 6 year old.
feeling “blue” is a part of life. as long as its not on a day to day basis and your sure there is nothing serious bothering you, i wouldn’t be worried. if you think you have a problem, see a doctor.
It’s normal
Totally normal! Girlll I’m depressedd & sad all the time too! It comes&goes,but goodluck girl& congrats!
Wow you sound like me. I went through this 2 years ago with my last child. I had 3 other children at the time and a very supportive husband. I would just cry. And cry. and have a very alone feeling. I knew it was probably my hormones talking….but I also knew that something was not right. I told my husband what I was experiencing, but never told the Dr. I chose to work it out myself, but I also had my faith and the support of my husband and kids. I had 3 girls and never experienced anything like this and this last pregnancy was a boy…completely different. So…your not alone. It happens! Just so you know I was fine after I had the baby (Just really tired, from late night feedings). Looking back, I probably should have at least made mention, at least told them I was feeling “blue” from time to time. Just in case that feeling did not go away. Good luck to you, and remember your not alone!
