i was 22 weeks pregnant when i lost my baby june 27th of this year and i felt like i was dealing with it ok up until like 2 months ago, i feel very sad and tired all the time and i’m being very mean to my fiance but nobody else. can you have postpartum depression even if you didn’t go through a normal pregnancy? or am i developing regular depression? what’s the difference? and who do i go to for help, my OB who i saw for my pregnancy or like a psychiatrist? i need help really bad, i’m ruining my relationship and i have no motivation to do anything but sleep and i’m just sad all the time.

I know stress is bad and everything but sometimes its not controllable. I just want to know if anyone went through it real bad and still had a happy and healthy baby. I am not really the one under stress so please dont advice me to take it easy.
Thanks so much

I was on the way to a store tonight and heard a sappy song on the radio and just broke down crying. My daughter is almost 5 months old and I have been fine other than that. Could it be postpartum or are my hormones still out of whack? I still get teary eyed at certain commercials which I did during pregnancy.

i had my baby six months ago i had a traumatic pregnancy me and partner was not getting on then he went to prison when was like 6 months pregnant during that time i did sink low and felt very alone. Then to make matters worse when was eight and a half months pregnant i had to Move from my home to go private as my partner was on remand at time and so close to the due date and had no one close to me for support i moved to be near to my mum i done this move alone his family did not even lift a finger to help during this time i went back and fourth to see him never knowing the outcome. Anyway to cut a long story short he did come out 10 days before i had my son i was so tired by this point i lost my home housing association for a private which had and had endless issues with the property form when i moved in like no heating when i 1st arrived. Also it turned out me losing my home was waste of time because my mother was of no help really mind you never has shown care towards me empty promises and that, i feel so resentful all the time of everything not my baby i feel guilty for having him sometimes feel my partner does not give a toss about me as well.I feel alone now i tried to tell him i think i have post natal depression i just feel he treats it as a inconvenience which makes me mad considering what i have done for him iam down all the time feel my life is doomed terrified of the future

..I have been very stressed throughout my pregnancy. This is my first child, and me and the father were only together a few weeks before i got pregnant, so we have argued ALOT, and im worried my baby is and will be unhappy. I know stress is not good, i try to hard not to. Some things i cant help. =( I also think i am depressed bcause of it, and am worried about postpartum depression. I am 36 weeks and have had no complications…..

effects of stress and or depression during pregnancy

Is there anyone who was totally depressed while pregnant and just got worse when i finally felt movements. Is there any pregnancy support groups out there?

I am 22, this is my second pregnancy, my first son died when I was 35 weeks pregnant. Now I have another healthy and wonderful baby growing inside me, but I find myself always worrying and concerned something is wrong. I think I am depressed. I cry and can’t stop sometimes, and I am wondering what this is doing to my 18 week old baby. Can my crying uncontrollably hurt my baby?

I have to go back to work within two weeks of my baby being born. This is my 2nd pregnancy. After my first baby, I suffered from postpartum depression. With this pregnancy, I have suffered depression through most of the pregnancy, and am very nervous about returning to work so soon, with the possibility of postpartum depression being high. I cannot quit my job, and I work for a small company that does not fall under any FMLA guidelines. My state (Texas) does not have any laws protecting my job while I take maternity leave, which is why I am coming back so soon. I will return part time at first (I currently work full time). Does anyone have any tips for dealing with stress/depression/exhaustion in this situation? Has anyone been in a similar situation, or had to return to work in less than a month? Any encouragement is greatly appreciated!!
Little known fact about FMLA-those laws apply ONLY to companies with 50 or more employees in a 75 mile area. My company has 30 employees, so therefore is not held to that regulation.
