I kno you're all going to tell me taht i need to go to the doctors, but its sunday night...slightly shut. and i really don't like my midwife, a very condecending woman. anyway. ever since i was about 19 weeks pregnant (now26) i've been feeling lower and lower and fighting with my partner. he culdn't stand me asking him where he is and txting him thru the day when i felt low and he's now leaving me. i can't stop crying my eyes out, i don't want to eat although i am because of my baby, i can hardly sleep, i don't want to do anything that i used to love doing and although i KNOW im not alone with this baby, i can't help but feel it. has anyone else had this condition? and does anyone have any tips on how i can beat it? i'm getting desprate now, i'm thinking crazy things

I had this too.. was on the brink of divorce when i got pregnant and although the baby brought us together i was still miserable for the whole pregnancy. I can be treated and you should call your doc tomorrow. It doesnt mean you are mad... It will help you enjoy your pregnancy and ensure you are mentally fot and ready for when your baby comes along.. dont phone the midwife if you dont like her... phone the doc. And you have the right to request another midwife if you dont like the one you have!!

There is probably a depression hotline available through your local phone company. It would be in the phone book. If you don't have one at home, I'm sure there's a local business (like a grocery store) that would let you borrow theirs to get the number. Depression isn't something to just overlook, so I'm glad you're seeking whatever help you can get. Talk to your OB-GYN first thing tomorrow morning and see if you can get a prescription for an antidepressant that's safe for you and Baby and a recommendation for a good counselor. I have been fighting chronic depression for most of my adult life, and I know it can be really scary. Just whatever you do, don't hold it inside. Even if the only people you can talk to are online, it's better than being totally alone & letting your mind get the better of you. You WILL be okay, just hang in there. Good luck and God bless you & Baby. Praying helped me a bit, too.

you need someone to listen to you! not tell you what to do! the fact that your partner has left you is disgusting and you can obviously do better. many women suffer from deppression but whats causing it is unique to you. when the doctors does open i would go and see if you can simply speak to someone! dont think bad things. pregnancy is one if the most emotional things a woman can go through. but just think of what you are doing bringing a child into the world x x

This is a problem with your partner not pregnancy! Don't worry stop expecting things to be perfect, put your feet up eat a box of chocs and forget about your mental health, you will make matters worse!

i know its not what you want to hear but please go to the Dr's that's what they are they for to help you.
if you can what about talking to a good friend or family i am sure they will be pleased you have confided in them, also i would suggest you talk to your boyfriend and explain its not easy being pregnant and you just need plenty of reassurance from him, if he loved you he wouldn't mind you text him all day if it makes you feel better.
trust me it does get better with time
take care.
