I am 27 weeks and lately I feel as if nothing in my life makes me happy.. I have a beautifull daughter and now a son is due in October.. All I want to do is sit around and cry, and I am constantly yelling at my husband. I dont mean to it just happens that way.. When I was a teenager I was diagnosed with depression, and was put on medication.. Up untill about 2 years ago I took my Zoloft once a day.. Then found out I was pregnant and quit taking it.. My first pregnancy I never felt like this. In fact I was so excited and Happy all the time.. Why is it that I am feeling like this all of a sudden.. Could depression be the culprit? I know I need to talk to my doctor but I will be unable to untill Friday at the earliest.. We are leaving to go out of town for the next 2 days.. I was just wanting to get someone elses opinion on the matter.. If it is depression then I would understand these urges to cry, but if it is just hormones then I need to overcome the issue.. Any answers is great..

23 weeks pregnant with my first child. I am suffering from a mild case of anxiety. This is my second video.

Im pregnant for the first time and scared because I haven’t been seeing a doctor regularly, I saw a doctor regularly for the first 20 weeks. After that I had some insurance and money issues and the doctor discharged me as a client… so I went 12 weeks without seeing a doctor. Finally I filed for medicaid and started seeing another doctor, this doctor didn’t do much he measured my belly checked the fetal heartbeat and urine and sent me on my way. I saw him for 2 weeks and did my gestational diabetes test, which was elivated so I had to do the second one… mean while before I could get my doctor to give me the results they discharged me too because I still have 20 days before my medicaid case is approved, my medicaid is still pending.

The baby is due on 2-1-09 and I wont be able to see a doctor till the end of all this when Im in labor, Im upset and worried… its been a slightly complicated pregnancy in the first place, I had a kidney infection in week 21 and had to go to the hospital because I started contracting I was given a shot to stop the contractions and sent home with medication. I have had severe depression and mood swings, I have a problem keeping myself hydrated, and I just don’t know what to do and I want my baby to be okay.

Ok, So i’ve known now for three weeks that I am pregnant. I am 18 years old and have a 2 year old daughter and a 1 year old son. I am in a relationship with their father although we did have a break in which he didn’t see the children at all and I brought them up during this period with no support or financial help off him. It was a really hard time for me as he left me in debt from gas,electric, rent & loans we had taken out for furniture ect. He also left me with his dog and refused to collect her, I couldn’t put her into a shelter and although I didn’t trust this dog and she went to bite me on two occasions, I still looked after. (She was rehomed to my mother who adores her). I really was left to pick up all the pieces and this caused havoc with my mental health. I already suffered post natal depression, extreme anxiety & OCD but this really made me hit rock bottom. The break up wasn’t expected, he went off with another women he met online. Anyways we are back together now and I left the property and went into Refuge with the kids. My mental health just haven’t improved, I love my kids, I love being a mother but I will be the first to admitt how hard it is. I get really ill when I am pregnant ( i suffer with kidney infections that make me unable to even move, my anxiety worsens & I won’t take medication while I am pregnant & I also became an emotional mess. Now finding out that I am pregnant again it has released all these fears of (how am i going to cope looking after my two children if i am ill, what happens if i need to go into hospital?, what if something bad happens to me?) all these thoughts are constantly running through my mind that I can’t really see the light here. I couldn’t go through with an abortion so please don’t mention it, it’s not that I don’t believe in it but having an abortion would have a more negative effect on myself than going through with the pregnancy. Besides This is my baby and I am going to look after it. I keep feeling something is going to go wrong with this pregnancysuch as (stillbirth, Birth complications) something really unthinkable. I am soo low and I’m worried that I won’t bounce back up. Does anyone else feel like this? Please shed some light on this situation, I’m soo worried. I can’t even take the chldrens fatyher into account because he will come and go as he pleases.
By Just Me- Can’t you accomplish anything other than writing foul mouthed words on yahoo and not even answer the question?? Please get off the computer now before your mother finds out! else you are certainly going to be grounded, you nuahgty child!
Thanks for your answers so far ladies, I think i may be just having a really down day Everything is seeming so impossible and then I hate myself for feeling this way, support groups sound amazing! I think I also need sometime with other women , maybe abit more of a social life, so i can talk about these things and have friends to pick me up
Mr Smooth, obviously not everyone has been gifted with the upbringing and best start in life as you!, Don’t judge me I am doing good already, I’m the first person in my family to not have a drink or dug problem and to be able To keep my children. It’s sad that it’s like that but unfortunately true. Sorry if my life doesn’t fit your standards but your attitude certainly doesn’t meet mine.
Thank you S for your answer, If i take on that view of life I believe it will make this situation so much easier for me. I also believe in fate and karma and maybe I should put these views before the ones I’m experiencing know, What’s ment to be is ment to be.
Thanks

I am 22 weeks pregnant and suffering from a mild case of depression and anxiety. This is my first video and I will post once a week.

I was suffering from depression and anxiety my doctor prescribed zoloft for me but I’m concerned that it will effect my baby is some way. Are there any mothers who have been on antidepressants while pregnant. I’m having a normal pregnancy so far and I don’t want to mess anything up. PLEASE HELP!!!

Did anyone else develope depression during pregnancy ( perinatal depression) and did you have to continue taking the medicin even after the baby was born? Did zoloft make the symptoms worse for anyone?
