lonely and worried

I am 37 weeks pregnant today and over the passed few weeks have fallen into a deep hole of depression, I'm struggling so hard to get out of it. I keep crying hysterically and I am worried that my baby is stressed because of me :( I have lost ALL of my friends throughouty pregnancy, my family live in different parts of the country and my partner just gets mad at me when I actually show him I'm upset... He doesn't understand so doesn't give the support I need. I am so lonely and I just can't see how to pull myself out of what I am feeling... Does this sound familiar to anyone ???? I'm desperate now

Hang in there hun. Be sure to talk to your OB because this could put you at higher risk for depression post partum. I'm thinking you and your hubby are first time parents...? He's likely stressed too. You two should have a sit down and talk about things. Good luck to you!

Please let your OB's know as well so they can help you get the treatment needed. Once the baby comes the depression could get worse, so in addition to praying and  talking about it on here, please let your Dr know. Good luck and Blessings!

I too am in a similar situation.  I lost a very close friend during my last pregnancy and now i have a 10 month old and am 23wks along with #2. My only support day to day is my husband. Please, as Dededa3 says pray. This always always calms me! I will keep you in my prayers! Also, can you call and talk with family on the phone....are they supportive despite being some distance away? Keep on pressing through and soon you will be rewarded with a beautiful baby!
