Answer 1

WELL there is not much you can do unless you want meds. You can try to get out of the house and relax more, but if you are to depressed to do even that then I suggest you go get some medication. good luck.

Answer 2

Your not alone and i'm soo happy to hear this as good. I put pregnant and feel very on my own in google and this is what popped up. I've been crying on the sofa feeling very judged, damage and by myself for an hour now. My husband and i have been together 10 years and have at all times have been so just about eachother. It's little matters with me too, like the house cleaning and the truth that we dont have very a lot money for the babys room and it continuously seems to be a combat. He has a couple of beers after work some days and that i think like he is very insensitive and not entirely engaged, just waiting for me to push the child out, you realize, like i am only a few oven without feelings. I know this frequently sounds silly to each person but i'm comfortable any individual gets it. I'm 32 weeks and feeling like a burden mostly, notably when i'm to tired to wash or cook dinner or i need aid with everything from putting my socks on to cleansing my bathrooms. I do need to say though that although its hard typically, you'll do whats right in your little one, None of what's taking place is your fault by way of all means. Its just the way things are meant to be. But i'll still provide a prayer for you and your baby. Good luck with everything!

First of all everything your feeling is completely normal. There is no need to be on meds either, I am Bi-polar, have severe depression and after my daughter was born had postpartum. The best solution that I found is exercising, any way you can really. Go out for a walk for some fresh air, go with a friend to the gym and stay on the elliptical for a few minutes. Any little bit will help believe me and the more exercise that you do the more energy you will have for everything else. No meds needed!!!!

Well..as you might know from experience, there is not too much you can do about the fatigue caused by pregnancy. Remember, there is a miracle growing inside you and he or she is sucking all of the energy from you in order to develop. Please don't lie in bed ALL day. That will cause you to be more tired and fatigued. Try instead to take small naps, eat plenty of small meals throughout the day and take your prenatals.

It is perfectly normal to feel some level of depression. All kinds of emotions are a result of those hormones going crazy right now. Laying in bed all day is bound to make it worse. What you can do is take your daughter to a park or play a game with her. Children are known to help us laugh and get over our depression.

If it is still going on by your next OB visit, tell your doctor.

It's normal to be depressed. It's also normal to feel run down and dog tired. Your body is supplying energy and nuturing a new life inside you. Give yourself a break. A big MOMMY break. See if your mom will watch your 5 year old for one whole day, and then Let CALGON take you away. Nothing like a bubble bath to relax a tired body. Give yourself a facial, read some books, watch TV whatever you want for those 24 hours., Let It Be ALL ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

You are totally normal. Besides being tired, you may not "feel" pregnant. Being tired and not having your housework done is enough to depress you. Plus, having a baby makes tons of things go through your head and it is possible you are unconciously overwelmed. Talk to your doctor. He may have a suggestion to help you, naturally.

Medication doesnt' need to be the answer (as a previous poster thinks). I have had 2 kids of my own. The doctor can give you advice, let you know you aren't alone and suggest something natural. Taking medications isn't usually good when carrying a baby. :)

Answer 8

I went through the same thing when I was about 11/12 weeks. I was so depresed and I still couldnt tell you why. I didnt do anything about it I figured it would just go away and luckily it did. All I can say is dont make any rash decisions right now (not saying you would but I had thoughts of an abortion)

Answer 9

I was the same way and after I had my little girl it lasted for about three months than I finally got put on lexapro and its a whole new world. Although i suffered so much while pregnant I would not ever have taken med's to take any chances with her.

Answer 10

I totally understand, I was so depressed for my first trimester I barely bathed (yuck I know) but it passed soon after my second trimester, I forced myself out of bed and into the shower every morning it helped alot since getting out of bed in the morning was my biggest challenge. Try and give yourself a sleep and nap schedule and give yourself a goal for the day it gives your something to look forward to.
