I've had depression for a few years and throughout my pregnancy. My little baby was the only thing keeping me going some days. Now that the sun has been out and I'm feeling better and actually doing stuff to keep myself busy. I had to quit my job when ingot pregnant because I was super sick. I'm now 23 weeks and I'm worried about postpartum depression but I know I would never hurt my previous baby!
