Prenatal depression

[emck93]

So I think I have depression, I'm currently 18 weeks. I have previously had anxiety depression which got better in the last 2 years but now I'm pregnant I feel so down. I want to be happy but I don't feel happy, I keep worrying about everything and things I should be excited about I'm really not. I haven't spoke to my partner about it as I don't want to upset him as this is something we both wanted. I thought it was the hormones but I just want to cry all the time and I have no interest in anything!

I don't know what to do 😭

Please contact your midwife and have a chat with them about how you're feeling. Or book an appointment with your GP.

Pregnancy is such a huge thing to happen to you. Your hormones are on overdrive, your bodies changing and it's incredibly stressful.

Speak to your partner, family or close friends about how your feeling. I spoke to my best friends about my worries and they were so supportive they really helped me through.

It's a huge thing you're going through so definitely reach out for help and support, best of luck to you
