Is anyone depressed or been depressed about being pregnant? It's just I'm worried I won't be able to provide for it like I need to and I'm just scared. I'm 18 and 11w+6

I'm going threw the same thing I been depress lately. I'm pregnant with my 2nd child and I'm not with my kids dad, and I'm really confuse now about having the baby or not. I'm scare and I just feel so sick and sad most of the time. I just want to sleep :( idk what to do.

I'm trying. I don't have a job and trying to get one so I can get a place of my own I'm living with the baby's father's mother. He doesn't live there and we barely see each other that's another reason I'm depresses plus he is also looking for a job. He promised me he'd stop smoking weed and he's done so well he has a drug test Monday and he smoked today I was so upset with him and he got mad at me for telling him what to do. I just want him to make the right decisions and so far he isn't I'm worried that he won't step up and do what's best for the baby

I was really bad at the beginning of Mt pregnancy too. I was always crying and never got out of bed. So my doctor let me see a conslour. After I hit second trimester it all went away and I'm such a happier and chip per person then I was at the beginning. Maybe talk to your doctor. And she can help. I really hope you feel better. Depression is no fun. I think once you feel baby you will be much happier. Feel better soon <3

Hi there.  I think it is normal to have some anxiety if it was a pregnancy that you weren't planning on or expecting.  

One thing that helps me with anxiety is to get plans together.  To start thinking in terms of what needs to be done, where to live, how to go to school or work and who will watch the baby, etc.  It just makes me feel good to work on it but don't get overwhelmed.  It's a big deal to have a child but it helps to remember that women have been doing it forever and most of the time, it turns out okay.

Hopefully you have a supportive family.  And of course, you can always consider your options like adoption if it really feels like too much.

Wishing you all the best.  But again, I think it is normal to feel scared and anxious about this if you weren't expecting it to happen.  hang in there.
