I was diagnosed with depression at 16 years old... I'm carrying my 4th child... After my 3rd I went into a bad depression and was ready to walk out of my life and on my kids cause I felt like I was no good to them... I called my insurance and they sent me a therapist to talk to... You need to call your doctor and try to find someone that can help you... It hard carrying a baby and it puts a stain on you mentally... I hope this helps and good luck!!!

I have been going through the same thing (26.5 weeks). I went through it will all three pregnancies, but this one is the most difficult. Definitely talk to your doc, it can get better.

I would definitely talk to your doctor about it I have suffered with depression since I was 12 and I'm 26 and it's not something to ignore especially if you notice its not getting any better there are medications are safe to take while pregnant and when you are depressed it's really not good for the baby as well with my other 3 pregnancies I was fine but with this one my depression and anxiety hasn't gone away and has gotten worse so now I'm on medication again and I am being closely monitored by a pregnancy shrink to make sure that my depression and anxiety don't get extremely bad. it's nothing to be ashamed of a lot of women do stuffer with depression at some point or another and it is most common during a pregnancy so definitely talk to your doctor about it. truly hoping that you will feel better soon and if you need someone to talk to feel free to message me
