DO I HAVE PRE-NATAL DEPRESSION?

I am constantly down and always feeling really low, I am really not enjoying my pregnancy in which I feel awful about as this is my first baby, but I am constantly stressing over money, in-laws, relationship, lack of support etc... I just can't seem to shift this mood no matter what I do, and feel like I am unable to bond with my baby. I constantly feel as though the baby and my husband to be would be better off without me. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me that someone else felt this way? In their first pregnancy and that I am not alone? And that things will get better for me?

 

I am constantly crying, xx

  • Ive felt so emotional and im only 15 wks with my first. I feel terrible as i had a miscarriage first and i think the worrying has made me a wreck. Hormones are all responsible for the ups and downs. Try to relax hun, and remember how much bubba will be loved when he or she arrives.  I bought an angelsounds doppler so i can listen to my little ones heartbeat and hear him or her moving about. Such an amazing thing. Mine was only 17 quid from ebay. Guaranteed to melt your heart xxxx

  • I have had 3 previous miscarriages, and I also have PCOS. And have been told I have a high risk of miscarriage. I would love one of those but can't afford one. xx

  • The worry causes additional stress doesnt it? Have you got a scan pic to constantly remind you of wat a fab job youre doing?xx

  • No as I don't know who to ring as my MW is never in the office. xx

  • When do you next see her? I had no intention of going to say how I was feeling and she asked how I was I just blurted out that I wasnt myself. Ive seen her thru my furstbpregnancy and she knew it wasnt me. I was surprised how worried she was. Your county durham arent you? They will refer you to talking changes possibly for support x
