depression

[brynn01mommy]

Has anyone experienced depression while they were pregnant? I'm 30w 2d and I can't seem to feel like myself lately. I have a four year old daughter and I can tell I'm even losing patience with her I feel so horrible. Everything makes me cry or unhappy in some way. I have zero motivation to do anything at all. I feel like I can't win. Is this normal?

Thanks ladies I guess it makes me feel better that others are going through the same thing. I am planning on talking to my doc at my next appointment. I've been putting it off for a while.

Yes! The first pregnancy I was too ashamed to mention it to my doctor and ended up just being miserable and suffering. The 2nd time I spoke up and went on antidepressants, which I continued on for several months after birth to preempt PPD.
This time I've talked to my doctor about it and we've decided to wait as long as we can before I go on meds.
I know some people don't like taking pills but when you're so out of it you can't even take care of yourself, your older kid(s), and/or your newborn, it's so worth it.
I hope you feel better but you should talk to your doctor about it at your next appt.

Not sure if it's normal, but I am dealing with it. I guess our hormones are just going crazy. Lol
