22-3-2010 - depression in pregnancy!!

My mood while writing this blog: moody

---

Dont know why but im feeling a bit depressed the closer to the birth i get :-( i think im worrying that i wont cope with 3 childeren or wont be able to look after my baby properly after my c section?? anyone else feel like this before? its really getting me down and i feel so moody when ppl ask me how long i have left! that shouldnt bother me as i should be loving the attention but im really not. My poor hubby doesnt know whether hes coming or going these days i feel really sorry for him. i hope this all gets better after the birth as its so not fair on him either. xx

You are DEFINITELY not the only one!! Yesterday I went from being in a good mood to being depressed, and everything that both my 7 year old daughter and my OH did was just annoying me to no end! I have been getting depressed a lot lately and sometimes for no reason! My OH is away at fire college for the remainder of the pregnancy (he gets to come home on the weekends), and I can't help but feel like I'm doing this alone. He's gone at a time when I need him most and I feel like he likes getting away rather than being there for me! Then I wonder as YummyMummy said before me, how is this going to affect my life with my daughter and my OH! I'm worried about actually going through the whole "Oh snap, my water broke, or I'm having contractions and need to go to the hospital!". I didn't have this with my daughter as I was induced at 35 weeks, so so much of this will be new to me! You are not the only one who is depressed honey! We are all there with you, maybe for different reasons or thoughts, but we are all in the same boat! It will be done soon! Sending big hugs your way!! :)

I know exactly how you feel, I broke down over the weekend and can honestly say ive never cried so much. I have been so worried abouthow a baby is going to affect my relationship with my partner and my son. How I'm going to cope with sleepless nights, will I ever want sex again..the list is endless nevermind the birth!! My first son was 9lb 1oz and I cant stop getting nervous about the birth so yeah I know exactly how you feel. My hormones are up and down and my emotions are all over the place. I have hated being pregnant too which always makes me feel guilty. Dont get me wrong Im looking forward to meeting my baby im just really worried about what it will be like once shes here, how it will change everything. I think its perfectly normal to be anxious and your definately not the only one. I think if women really said how they feel you'd find it is more normal than not to feel this way. Best thing to do is to talk to your partner and tell him how you feel, open up about your emotions and keep him posted. The more informed he is the better he can help. Trust me my partners had his ears chewed off lol but I feel better for it. xx

Sorry to hear your feeling down. Towards the end of my pregnancy i felt really low, depressed even. And everytime anyone asked 'haven't you had that baby yet?' i just wanted to scream & swear at them!! I thought it would get better after having Caitlin, i had the baby blues for a few days. But it still hasn't improved 7 1/2 weeks later, my sis thinks i may have a bit of pnd. I've made an appointment with the doc for tomorrow. My problem is that i bottle my feelings up & everytime my health visitor has asked how i'm feeling i just say ' yeah, i'm fine' when really i'm not. It doesn't help that when i see her to get Caitlin weighed its in a room full of other mums & i don't really like to talk about it in front of everyone. Lets see what the doc says tomorrow (better make sure i take plenty of tissues cos i know i'll start crying!) x
