Answer 1

Yes, I totally agree.  Call your doctor!

Answer 2

Call your doctor he will make them put you on leve sooner.

You feel that way because your in a stressfull home with fighting!

I would be depressed...

Just tell your doctor to write you a letter and put you on leave if your feeling bad. Avoid stress

Answer 3

It could be peripartum depression, so in case it gets worse after delivery, talk to your doctor about it.  It's likely a combination of the stress in your life and your hormones.  It may need to get treated, so be sure to ask!  Therapy is also important.

Answer 4

I don't know, but I was told that if I ever feel severely depressed to tell my doctor.  

Answer 5

I really think that this is normal to have the blues when its just about time, like you get so anxious and ou think it takes forever for the baby to come. Plus your bf is not helping matters at all by fighting with you instead of just doing what he can to make you happy at this fragile time. You need to sit him down and explain to him that you need him to comfort you and listen to what ever you have to say and that you need his support. If you start to have an argument, stop it right away and say, I dont want to fight, lets talk about it. Then hug it out.

You will feel better about the whole thing when you can acually sit with your partner and be open and honest with them.

Try it. Go into the babies room and rearrange some clothes and iron some sheets or pick out the outfit to bring it home in and what you will wear to keep you mind on the prize kinda thing. Your baby will be here soon enough, so enjoy the time you both have to yourselves, cause it will soon be all gone...haha

Good Luck & Congrats!

PS. Call a friend or family member up and talk to them about the big day and everything else to pass time by. Go window shopping for new things for the baby or future needs...keep your mind focused and that should bring you smiles. Oh and a baby book, thats always happy and fun to fill out...if you already have one, go back through it and see if you can add anything.
