Depressed and Crying everyday?

Question

I'm 11 weeks pregnant.... I have been depressed for almost an entire month. I cry everyday. I know it's not good for the baby, but my husband and I are not working out and I really don't want to be with him anymore. Did anyone ever cried a lot and became depressed and their baby came out fine???

Answer 1

You need to see a doctor. Untreated depression causes many early deaths - suicide. Maybe your hormones are fluctuating. There is no need to suffer any more.

Answer 2

My son is now 19 months old and so happy and healthy. I left his father when I was 8 weeks pregnant due to some very serious issues he had. We had only been together a few months as well.

I was so scared and alone. So, of course I did cry. I did not cry everyday, but enough. I worried about my son's future without his father. I worried about money. I worried about buying us a home since I only lived in a tiny 450 sq foot apartment. I don't have living family either so I really did have so much to feel sad about and worry about. The many hormones racing thru my body just made it worse.

Well, I am so happy to say that my pregnancy (though it was considered high risk) came along fine. My son was born c-Section but it was for the best and I recovered very well. I sold my place and built a house 3 times the size in another state that was cheaper. I found a great job, and also finished my Bachelors Degree in the process.

So my dear, do not despair. Cry if you have to. Even yell sometimes if you feel the need. But remember, you have this tiny life inside of you that is depending on his mother to provide for him, show him love and be a fit parent. Even during your pregnancy, they feel your pain. It is hard when you are going thru so much right now, but don't lose hope. Stay positive and believe that you will make it just fine (with or without the father in your childs life if need be). My miracle child has given me a miracle life that I could only have dreamed about. Don't give up. If you feel you really need help, you may also want to seek a good Therapist right now too. Nothing wrong with that. Good luck to you.

Wow, OK, I feel i can relate to this so i will give some advice. I too have felt like this in the past. And i have just been dumped by a girlfriend of 2 years. So, my advice would be to get these thoughts out of your head. They do you no good what so ever. The likelihood of him doing anything is very remote, because he obviously cares about you. So calm down and take this information and try to build up some self-esteem. A way i have of dealing with things like this is to keep busy. Best way is to immerse yourself in friends. Go round their house, talk on the phone, go out and do stuff. Anything that will keep your head busy and off of this subject. Alternatively give yourself something else to focus on, whether this is reading a book or getting on with some work that needs doing. Trust me, it works a dream. By the sounds of it you are quite young, so if you're struggling to find some friends to occupy your time, write me a huuuuge message or email and i'm sure i can help. I have experience in this sort of thinking, and am going through something similar. Now as for taking pills and all that nonsense. Stop it. Seriously. That sort of behaviour is wasted energy which can be put to constructively helping yourself. It will not solve anything, and will not change anything. By all means talk to your doctor about this, as they are truly the ones with the best information and may well hold the key to some much needed help.

well i went through a lot of ups and downs in the beginning of my pregnancy just adjusting to everything, i couldnt satnd my fiance and i would cry and freak out often. It eventually passed thankfully, i mean i still have my moments but im much happier, i am now 8 months but im sure my baby will be fine as will yours. You should def talk to your dr about this though or start therapy, you dont have to suffer. Try thinking about what is best for the baby and try and snap out of it. BEst wishes and i hope eveyrthing works out!!

Yes my doctor put me on Zoloft it helped immensely and has some stats on women who take it to took it during pregnancy. It's probably just hormones. I wouldn't worry too much.
