depression

Im at 38 weeks and starting with depression, does anybody feel depress?

Depression is not a choice and has no reason you can pin point. I still remember sitting with my son on my lap and crying so hard i was shaking. Telling myself...wtf is wrong with you, you should be happy. Get onto it early. It only gets worse when paired with sleep deprivation. I was able to get away with herbal treatment but antidepressants would have been the next step.KEEP YOURSELF AND YOUR BABY SAFE!!! Let me know if you wanna talk.

Why r u depressed? I wish i were 38weeks. At least, you are very close to have your lovely baby in your arm. You have been of great success carrying a healthy baby and it almost comes to the end. I would be very proud of myself if i were you, after all these months of discomfort, you still make it.

@happybaby This was not an insult or dig at you. I've been told by people "don't be depressed, you're so blessed!" And that just makes me feel worse because I KNOW I am blessed but I cannot help that I am depressed. For me, it's genetic and I fight it every day. I said to her what I'd want to hear. I am so glad you don't battle depression. It was very kind of you to offer sweet words. I'm sorry if it seemed like I was singling you out, I wasn't. I just said what I'd want to hear because I know what it's like.

The best thing you can do is pray to God and think positive and happy thoughts . Do fun stuff and be a good person . Be focused on your pregnancy m

I think the question is why do u feel depressed, what are u depressed about? Is it the pregnancy or things going on in your life? Once u figured that out u can figure out what to do about it. It's normal to have a shift in your hormones especially as DD comes closer. That anxiety builds up.

@Jesshall. No I have never suffered from depression but I chose to respond with kind words rather than to ignore her post. #Geesh

Depression is not a choice or something you can turn on and off. You can tell the people who have never experienced it. Telling you not to be depressed solves nothing. As someone who has dealt with it for a long time, you're not alone. Please talk to your doctor because it can be very serious and there is help out there. Most importantly, please know...you are NOT alone!!!

Awwh, don't be depressed. We're all dealing with some negative aspect of life but you're carrying a precious little baby :) You're Blessed mommy

Im starting to feel really down about what my body is starting to change into. But I just keep looking at all the moms that worked hard to get their body back and it motivates me not to give up. I'll have my body back and a beautiful baby. Just think of the positive! Good luck!

Depression is real and common in pregnancy. Please talk to someone about what's going on. You are not alone. We girls on this app always have an ear and or shoulder that you can cry on. Please talk to someone. It's okay. We all get overwhelmed sometimes, but we do have each other to talk it through with.  I'm praying for you...keep your head up.
