I am 24 weeks pregnant, and I don’t know why, but every time I feel my baby move around, I have this deep wave of depression and loneliness sweep over me. This was a planned pregnancy, and even turned out to be a boy. (what we were hoping for!!) It has been a great pregnancy (my 2nd), healthy baby, etc. I am really happily married, and feel so supported by my family and hubby. I just dont understand what is going on. Is it some kind of pregnancy depression? Has anyone else experienced this? Should I talk to my ob-gyn?

yeah.. like some women get Post Natal Depression it is possible to also get antenatal depression…. and yes speak to ur doctor or ur ob-gyn!
Seems like a pregnancy related depression which happens more often then not. Mine isn’t centered around the baby moving but I do get it from time to time. I would talk to your ob but I’m doubting they will do anything about it. They may ask if you want to talk to a counselor about it. They tend not to give out medication unless you are homicidal or suicidal or are consistently having these feelings(all the time not just when your baby moves.
Yes talk to your doctor because its not healthy to feel that way and these should be happy moments experimenting the whole pregnancy process, because even though its a second pregnancy its a wonderful experience and every pregnancy is different i am having my first child and i am 5 months and my baby moves but not as much as i would like to cuz i wanna feel every single movement. soo take kare of yourself and figure out what u can do so you wont feel depressed.
You should talk to someone about it, you might suffer from post-partum and it’s good to let your doctor know you feel depressed now so they can help prevent it later.
Absolutely talk to your doctor about it. You don’t want to feel this way for the rest of the pregnancy. It’s a hormonal thing and has nothing to do with your marriage or the sex of the baby or any other outside influence. You’re paying your doctor for more than just delivering your baby. Your doctor wants you to be healthy in every way and can’t help you if you don’t speak up. I hope you feel better soon and congratulations.
