depression

[league95]

How did other first time mom's cope with depression during pregnancy.....

I'm 20 weeks 2 days and I've honestly been excited very little amount of times throughout my entire pregnancy.....
i wasn't happy when i found out and it's rare when i do get excited about everything much less smile about everything. .......

i was never supposed to be able to have children. So it was a great suprise for my significant other and i when a test came back positive.......

I'm also beginning to have second thoughts about my SO and myself being together and I keep finding myself drifting away from him and stop finding him attractive etc..... and I just moved to SC and he doesn't plan to move until august..... Meaning I am alone for the next three months and he'll be missing majority of the rest of the pregnancy.......and being my first and his second it makes it a lot harder on me..........



If anybody could give me advice on how to either cope or how to handle this or something it'd be greatly appreciated.......

I find having someone to talk to about how you're feeling helps a bit. Also I started taking high dose vitamin D (2000IU/day) and fish oil and I've found it helps to stabilize my moods on the days I remember to take it. You can also talk to your doctor if you feel you need medication. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Pregnancy wreaks havoc with our entire bodies, and can change the way you see situations and people. You can tell your SO how you're feeling, which might help. Sometimes men are just clueless. I wish you lots of luck.  It does get better!
