pregnancy related depression?? help and advice please!

finallyamomma

Lately even though I couldn't be happier that my son is growing and healthy I have been more depressed that ever before. I have had bouts with depression in the past and have tried medication but didn't like the way it made me feel. I have even had negative thoughts about my boyfriend lately. I feel like sometimes he loves me less than others. Some days he is excited about the baby and very loving toward me and other I don't feel that he is as much as normal. I don't know what to do or think or how to fix this and snap out of it.

Ur hormones are raging right now. Just know that it happens. Try to find some time for urself n get pampered so u can relax. Most of us hate our BF/husband @ one point or anutha during pregnancy. If uve struggled n da past n u feel u can't cope maybe u should try talkin to someone. Plus we are all here for u.

I'm the same way. My bf and I don't live together and he is extremely selfish and we just got into a huge fight (although he is trying to make light of it) because I want to spend time w him but it has to be on his terms (his house). I'm not feeling good today and so I didn't feel like driving over there even though I've been alone since last Sunday! But oh well, I'm not going to sit back and let him call all the shots! I'm at my wits end and considering moving into my parents house for a lil while until I can buy a house instead of in w his parents until we can buy a house. I know I'm just angry and upset right now but the way he is acting doesn't make me feel very special and I definitely deserve to be treated nicer!

@lilpeapod913 I know the feeling my boyfriend and I don't live together either and he is the same way and stinks at spending time with me sometimes, today I haven't felt well at all either and he spent the whole day at the golf course and now is at the bar. That has.really hurt my feelings and self esteem. And is making my depression worse and making me feel like he is falling out of love with me.

Visit 1800homeopathy.com they will send a catalog of natural herbal remedies. If you find a remedy that fits your moods, ask your dr about it. Most of them are completely safe during pregnancy, and are NOT drugs like what you get at the dr. Fair prices, great results.

@finallyamomma you are not alone..I feel the same way..I have also felt depressed and I'm noticing that I have pushed my husband away at certain times but it seems to be happening even more..honestly try and take more time out for yourself, try writing poetry, or going for a drive..its not much I know..I have even talked to my husband about getting help because I feel as though we have no other options..I'm excited about carrying my LO..but I feel bad that I'm not happy like I should be..

@finallyamomma hang in there. I know I get down thinking that this is not the way i pictured things happening but it'll all be ok. You gotta remember that men are basically clueless as to what is going on w us and are selfish by nature but when we need them more and are hormonal they are even worse..its ridiculous but we need to realize that we will always do more (grow babies, chores, cooking, cleaning) and will be expected to do it all w a smile even tho they get a cold and the world ends. I would love for my bf to be pregnant for a week and enjoy all the hormones..and then see him try talking like an ass to me! Where are you from? I'm from Michigan.
