depression

I'm very sick and very depressed with this pregnancy. I want to be excited like I was with my first baby but I can't seem to shake the depression has anyone else had this?  and what did you do to get it to go away? I want my life back to be excited about the baby and be able to enjoy my sweet toddler again.I don't know if the site knees around the clock is making the depression worse. I just want it gone!!

I halve days of depression. But keep in mind it doesn't last and tomorrow will be better. My mam was a great support to me in my first 2 pregnancy when I would feel this way but she passed away a yr ago and it's hard not having her in my 3rd pregnancy cause she understood me so well. My husband is supportive but it's not the same as a mothers love. I am having another little girl which I am super excited I hope we have the bond that me and my mother had in years to come.

Thank you ladies, I'm doing so much better with the depression. It was very bad for a while but my excitement is back for the baby and I'm able to play with my baby girl again. I'm assuming it was hormones, I'm almost out of my first trimester and everything is getting better. I still have some days of depression but nothing like it was. Its good to know I'm not alone.

I was the same with baby #2, its rather normal. Once your hormones level out you will begin to feel much better. I recommend talking to your doctor. While we do not want to take medications that we do not have to there are those that are safer to take and can help you get through this time. There is also meditation and yoga or other things you can do to cope. Make baby #1 part of this pregnancy so you feel they are just as much part of it.

I was the same way with baby #2 , but the depression will soon go away &  you will enjoy your toddler again. Start trying to think about all the positive things that are ahead of you . And try to get some time to yourself to have a little fun .

I'm pregnant for the second time too, also very emotional and feeing guilty about not being able to feed my baby or take him out to play as I could before. I guess this time of sickness is fleeting and the babies won't remember it. try and keep positive if you can. do you have family to talk to? or I often call the pregnancy support line here in Australia.

Hi there! I would recommend to see a psychologist! It is pretty normal due to hormones however you and your toddler desrve to be happy!!
