Im 18 weeks and 5 days. One minute my mood is very happy then it changes and im sad an regret even getting pregnant. Im.always constantly worrying something is wrong with my baby bcus i havent felt it move for a couple  of days now and im not running to the toilet much either. But i hate the mood were im regretting getting pregnant and i feel i honestly dont want to have my baby even though i do. Today ive woken up and just burst into tears because im really sad. I want to be happy but i cant :( i want to go see my doctor but i dont want to go on medication. My mother suffered from depression and i think im getting the illness now. Im only 21 and i.serouisly dont want to be dignosed with depression :( anyone any advice?

Pregnancy can cause a lot of mood swings and make u think u feel things u dont.  I dont think your doctor would put u on medicine mid pregnancy unless he/she felt u were really beyond hormonal and a danger to urself.  Would you be able to and want to talk to a councillor? You always can vent and talk here but someone that is right there and a professional might help more.  I cried a lot in my second trimester this pregnancy and still do from time to time.  I spend entire sessions with my councillor crying, but no one ever has mentioned medicine to me.  It just helps me to cry and talk it out. Maybe that could help you feel better too.

Depression is a terrible thing but you need to talk to your doc. Its no joke, my dad committed suicide about 8 years ago. Better to be diagnosed and treated then do something like that. And it may not actually be depression it may just be hormones, but talk to your doc and have your baby checked. Better safe then sorry.
