depression

[LNeece]

I am 35 weeks and 5 days pregnant,  here lately I have been dealing with a bad bout of depression!  And I just don't know what to do!!! I am married,  but I just feel so alone all the time!! My husband is a coach so this time of year is always crazy for us but it's just affecting me sssssoooo much right now!! I am alone all the time and I feel like I have no one to talk to or no where to turn!! My husband's just tells me to stop or ignores me. My parents and sister live close bit they just laugh at me and say it's just hormones. I have never had really close friends.  Can anyone help me or give advise. I am just so sick of feeling this way!

I benefit from counseling. I have found out a baby can add to the feeling of isolation BC you are feeding alone and stay home BC you don't want baby to get sick. Find a support system now such as a momgroup or therapy. It will help in the future.

I Would be concerned if my husband ignored me or didn't want to talk. Hope things get better for you.

Its hard to find people that understand the depressed feeling sometimes. My husband works 1-11 each day so I am home alone frequently aswell. Sometimes just going to a coffee shop and sitting there for a bit is helpful just to be surrounded be other people. I have also heard of support groups online and also in communities for pregnant women aswell as for mommies with newborns.  If things get really rough dont be embarrassed or ashamed to seek professional help from a therapist or counselor.  I have found them very helpful

I feel you. My husband is a truck driver and is only home 76 days a year. I'll be 7wks tomorrow.  He was in a hotel all day and wouldn't answer my calls or call me. I'm always stuck inside and with our 4 yr old. He doesn't seem to care how I feel about wanting to talk. I have no friend's and my sister doesn't like my husband never has in the 4 yrs.

I was having a similar problem and I read an article about a woman that had problems conceiving. It made me appreciate the little life growing inside and what a blessing a child is. Some women would do anything to have a baby, so embrace this journey.
