Hello. First off. I'd like to say. It's important to bring up these issues with your doctor.

Depression during pregnancy is common. Women who have suffered from depression before their pregnancy are more likely to see it again during their pregnancy.
Depression, and or anxiety can be due to a number things. One is the obvious. Hormones. Your body is going threw a lot of changes.
It's easy to feel overwhelmed. It's important to bring this up with your doctor. Depression can cause problems for you, and your little one. You want to get help as soon as possible.

Talking to someone, can help. Also your doctor may prescribe medication for the depression if he or she feels that it is severe and necessary. You're not alone at this time. There are several people out there willing to help you, and there are several women out there with similar problems.


I really hope you feel better soon. I know how draining it can be. I have been on bed rest for the majority of my pregnancy. I'm just now getting back into the swing of things. Still waiting for my son to be born. It's an exciting ,and scary time. Not to mention confusing.
I'm  currently dealing with severe  anxiety so I believe I can relate. It's important to seek help. Or talk to someone about it.


Keep us updated. And, good luck.

yes it happened to me also during early pregnancy. im 15wks now.
normally it is the hormonal changes that happen and morning sickness, tiredness etc that make you feel so. You will get over it in a week or 3-4 weeks time.
try and be happy, do things that u like and that make u happy.
IMMENSE support and love is required from your husband.
dont worry, the body changes and makes place for a little angel inside so its normal for the body to take time to adjust.
listen to soothing music, it helps and stop thinking u r pregnant, it will make u feel paranoid.
