To mummies that went through depression in pregnancy?
I am now 32 weeks pregnant and have been depressed on and off since about 24 weeks. I will mention it to my gp on my next visit (next week) because I’m getting sick of it. To mums that went through depression, for what reason were you depressed and what kind of treatment did you receive? Did it go away after birth? I am depressed about little stupid things, I feel like I’m a bad person for not doing anything so bad. I’m just a human and I’m not perfect I know that lol but why do I feel guilty about every single mistake I’ve made in past and in present?

I was depressed throughout my whole pregnacy, and it got worse actually.

Well, after giving birth your doctor can subscribe an anti depresant, it will help.
but for now, just keep on doing things you enjoy!!!!!!!!
awww…..i am sorry to hear that honey but its mostly just your hormones playing tricks on u.with my first pregnancy,i wasn’t very depressed until after giving birth.i was hit with severe postpartum depression.at that time i didnt know what i was going through and didntget help.it took about 2 yrs for me to get over it completely but with my second pregnancy,i had no depression at al.not during and not after the pregnancy.with the current pregnancy though(am 37 weeks 3 days) i went through severe depression strting around week 24 and it lasted till about 34 weeks.i would wake up crying,worrying about silliest of things like what if my in-laws come to stay with me after the baby is born,the way they did with my first one and ruin my making a bond wth this child,also i kept feeling insecure in my relationship with my husband for NO reason at all….i was frustrated and angry and very scared all a the same time…i didnt do anything about it but my husband was very supportive and made me talk to him about my fears which i did and it really helped…now i am a much happier person.i would suggest either talking to someone close or maybe brng it up with your doctor…its always better to get this resolved before the baby comes because after the baby is here,your body will be going through the adjusting period trying to get back to normal and again your hormones will start playing tricks on u.u need to be calm and relaxed before the baby’s arrival.i wish u the best of luck!! hang in there!!
