Depressed and Pregnant. What should I do??

Question

What do I do if I don't feel like I can live anymore?? It's affecting the baby. I am in alot of pain in my body as well.

Answer 1

Talk to your dr asap. Depression isnt good for you or the baby and it's best you start getting help NOW, before the baby is born and your hormones get the better of you. He might want to start you on a medication that's safe to take.

Perhaps you should think of going on anti-depressants. Talk to your doctor about it. There are several different kinds that are safe to take during pregnancy. It's important for you to feel better, not only for yourself but for your baby as well.

Answer 5

you should really talk 2 ur doctor about it cause this is something serious.

Answer 6

This same thing happened to me. I went off of anti-depressants as soon as I found out I was pregnant, and that went terribly for me. My depression was worse than before I even began the medication. I would recommend talking to your OB about it. There are medications you can take while pregnant that are considered relatively safe. If you are feeling as bad as it sounds it would most likely be better for you to treat the depression than not. They had me start taking Prozac and it seems to be helping quite a bit. I'm sorry you have to go through this, it really is terrible but there is help out there for you! If you need to talk feel free to email me. Good luck!

Answer 7

Answer 9

You should definitely see your doctor.  Ask if your OBS or the hospital you are attending has a psychiatrist or psychologist attached to their practice as then as well as medication you can develop some strategies for managing your depression.  Given that it's the weekend I would also suggest you tell your partner or a family member or friend how you are feeling and get a bit of a plan going for getting through the weekend.  Or ring a 24 hour counselling line.
