It’s your hormones mama. It will get better. Until them, make sure you take time for self-care… bubble bath, chamomile tea, facials, get your nails done, etc… or just take time to do something you enjoy that you don’t normally have time for.
Postpartum can happen during pregnancy too. Maybe speaking to a counselor would help.
Hormones and are you getting enough positive attention Carol Ann
Omg I went through this I was better once I hit about 12 weeks. Your hormones are out of whack. Hang in there momma you got this.

Have you tried meditating? Head space is a great app. Also maybe yoga. I hope you find some relief.

I was EXTREMELY depressed my first trimester. Had some very dark thoughts. It was my hormones and eventually it got better. I had a lot of anxiety my entire pregnancy and even more postpartum, but it gets better! Hang in there, mama. Prenatal Yoga really helped me <3

Hormones. I just got to 14 weeks and I’m finally getting over that stage, i was extremely depressed my first few weeks. Once you hit your second trimester most of those crazy hormones clear up.
Yes. This is usually my first sign of pregnancy. I feel tired, don’t want to do anything, just kinda blah… It does pass eventually, but if you feel it might be more serious talk to your Dr.
Yes it hit me hard. I had talked to my doctor about it and she referred me to a counselor until I felt I was okay.
It hit me hard all throughout my pregnancy… especially the first trimester. I just felt gross and sick all the time which depressed me. Now that I’m in the 3rd trimester, I feel those feelings trying to creep in again (coupled with anxiety). It really helps me to talk to my husband about it when I feel myself getting in a slump. He doesn’t fully understand how I’m feeling, but it really helps to just let someone know instead of bottling it up. Is there anyone that you can talk to… a friend, your partner? It sometimes just helps to have someone objectively listen and help you come up with a plan to pull yourself out of the rut. It will get better! Hang in there… and congratulations! <3
I have pretty severe ppd. Defiantly talk to your DR. I’ve been dealing with this since my first, and she is almost 10
It got worse with every pregnancy.
That’s weird everytime I go to my doctors they always ask if I’m depressed.
If your doc won’t do anything, ask for a referral to a therapist. If you don’t need a referral just go on your own. Or switch doctors to one who will listen to you.
The hormones make you exhausted and emotional.
Happened to me, I was very depressed throughout most my pregnancy!
I went through this. I still deal with depression.

if u have a past history of anxiety or depression, pregnancy hormones make it worst. i would recommend seeing a therapist to just talk. or a psychiatrist maybe for a safe med. if u dont want to see the psychiatrist maybe trying yoga and essential oils.
My sister said she had this in early pregnancy it did get better further on…
It’s your hormones. Mine were the same way, they are still and I’m gonna be induced next week on the 5th. I cry even at the song me and my own mom used to sing together.
