How do you deal with depression during pregnancy?

financial issues, relationship problems. this is our first child and he's been talking about separation. i'm worried about getting a divorce. it's a long and complicated story and i've been depressed going on 3 weeks now. medication? therapy?...what can i do? and i am going to the doctor wed. for my glucose test and i plan on asking. 28w

You need put your worries aside and focus on growing a baby. You can go into labor early and hurt your baby if you keep stressing out. Talk to your doctor and see if he can help. Maybe you can do some yoga or walking...hang out with friends and family. Do what you can to take your mind off (do what makes you happy) it and enjoy being pregnant. Do it for your baby!!!

Aw, hun, I'm glad someone else is in my boat- not that I'm glad, really, but relieved. I've been depressed, too- I'm 18w- and I wanted to be happier, but I'm really scared that the marriage that I thought was perfectly happy is on the rocks. I love him lots, and I know he feels the same, but I think he's getting scared about the level of commitment and maybe my mood swings and demanding nature isn't helping.
I think therapy is the best option- medication would scare me during pregnancy. You two need to hash out any issues- maybe he's getting cold feet? If so, he'll hopefully snap out of it once the baby is born. Talk to your doctor, maybe he/she can suggest someone/something.
But most importantly- take care of yourself and your baby. Get out of the house- and spend some time doing things you really love to do- take a short trip with some friends- get on with your life. If your relationship is meant to be- and I hope it is for you- then he'll want to work on things.
Best of luck to you...

  1. if she had mood swings, you should suggest her to go see a doctor.
