How are you dealing with prenatal depression? I have been trying to walk and deep breathing. I'm hoping to increase my oxytocin levels.

You're situation sounds exactly like mine.  My fiance wanted me to have an abortion and now he wants me to give the baby up for adoption. He has no regard for how I feel. I Lost My job And Nobody Is going to hire me in my condition. I'm ready to call it quits.  So I know exactly how you feel.

In the beginning I had bad depression, I think mostly from all the hormonal changes. It got better around the start of the second trimester. But I'm 29 weeks now and I feel very depressed again. My relationship with my fiancé is not going well and he is not the compassionate type at all. I feel alot of guilt because I'm not happy or excited about having this baby. I was a single mother from the time my son was 2 months old until I met my fiancé and my son was six years old. It was hard but worth it of course. However I never would want to do it again especially with two kids and its starting to look like that's the path I might be heading down after my baby is born. I know a relationship shouldn't stop the happiness of becoming a mother again but I know how hard it was doing it alone last time and I don't want to do that again. I had no doubts about my fiancé until I got pregnant and saw how selfish he really is. It's like he waited to be a jerk until he thought I was trapped and couldn't leave. I feel like he tricked me. I feel really  down and hopeless. Nothing I do makes me feel better. Nowhere I go makes me feel at peace. And nobody I talk to really comforts me. I wish I could just sleep all day and night but I'm so uncomfortable I can't even sleep at night. And I have my 9 year old who needs me

Definitely! I'm 39+5 and still no dilating. And the insecurities are through the roof because me and my fiancés sex life has been ****. I went to the hospital today to be checked for preeclampsia and I walked passed the nursery and seen all the babies and made me cry a little because I think this pregnancy will never be over with. Lol.

I also stay at home, which doesn't help. I feel so guilty about my lack of excitement.
