Post partum depression

[Sxl0072412]

Is it possible to have "post partum depression" before the baby is even here?
I'm 37 weeks, I've been crying a lot the past few days and I can't help it, I'm sleeping less and I'm really stressed out.
My life completely changed from what I had pictured it being like. I had to move into my parents house with my spouse and 2year old & am about to give birth any day. We had a babyshower so we do have a few things but we have no income at all, husband was laid off Jan 4th so it's been a horrible start of the year and he's had no luck getting a job. We had a flat on one car, lost our apt and got the second car towed and I'm behind two months payments on the car that could get repossessed by the end of the month. It just feels like everything is going so wrong and I'm not happy..I can't help it and it makes me feel even more awful for not being happy to have my baby...should I tell my doctor something and even so how do I tell him without just breaking down on him? Or do I wait til after the baby is here to see if anything changes?

I think you should talk to your doctor, It won't hurt. You may just be feeling emotional and overwhelmed, but it is better to be safe.
Honey, money isn't everyrhing, and although you are not where you want to be, you still have alot to be thankful for. Yall WILL get back on your feet. You have a home, food, health, and loved ones.
It is better to have to deal with financial problems than to deal with the illness or death of a loved one or any other tradgety.
Itll be ok :)

Money Is definitely everything. Noone wants to b without a job and having a baby on the way. Being independent is a wonderful feeling and being able to take care of the baby Is even more wonderful. Now as for talking to a doctor I think now can be a good time just to help relieve some of the stress. sometimes talking things out makes u feel a little better. the doctor might b able to give u suggestions on how to deal with these emotions.

I think u should mention your doctor about it. When i was pregnant my husband had debts and contractors was not paying him. I was stressed and it was my first pregnancy. I never saw myself in such situations. We managed to buy things for the baby. But somehow i still feel sad because i had to let go of many things. My son is now 1 year old and it still hurts. My advice: talk to your doctor and be on the safe side.

Everyone has difficulties at some point I just had to refinance my morgage and it was so stressful. I was behind on bills etc and was worried that the refinance wouldn't go through. It can work out mine did just recently and now  I am due in 5 days. Try to relax easier said then done and do what u can to stay afloat till your husband can get a job. You can always catch up later and get back on track. I hope it works out for you and I would talk to your doctor as it isn't going to go away until u know u r good which can be after the baby is born. They can help and possibly give u some advice on where to go to get help.
Take care

Talk to your doctor, you have very valid reasons to be sad right now, and if you break down while talking, it's ok. It's better to open up about it, because there is a chance it could get worse.  Sorry if you didn't want to hear that might happen, but being open will get you on the path to making it better and getting it back under control.

We found out we were pregnant beginning of September. October 22 my husband lost his job. Things were tight even with unemployment because it didn't even cover our rent. We lost our insurance and I had to get Medicaid. It really really freaking *****. My husband just found a job and started working the middle of January. You just have to trust in God that all will work out and let it go. I was crying, worried and breaking down all the time. It's okay. You guys will get through it and once you do you'll look back and ask "why did I even worry?". It gets better.

My wife is not feeling any movement in her stomach as she is 4.5 month pregnant is my normal??

Talking to your doctor in advance may be of help. By the sounds of things you have gone through an awful lot, so to feel deflated is completely understandable. It may not be depression that you are suffering from?  You just have so much to cope with at such an emotional time in your life. I hope your hubby finds a job.
