Start to feel depressed

I am 11 week pregnant and is been really hard so far I been sick 24/7 some day are better that other and I try to go out and do activity when I feel good . But I am starting to feel depressed. (Back story ) I was diagnosed with depression at the age of 8 years old. I know how to manage but feel different in pregnancy. My husband haven't been much of emotional support he kinda just make me feel worse when I tell him that I am upset . I am worried that I had make the wrong choice if having kids with him. He support emotional is no there and I am more worried that once baby back out I might get postpartum depression . Any evidence please. I feeling really lonely

Show your support

I had ppd when I had my son but I had family to help me and I wish I had friends to help me too. I hope your okay and he should be trying ways to help you feel better. If you want to talk privately just send a message I'm happy to talk

So sorry for how you are feeling. I have diagnosed depression too (unrelated to pregnancy) and I know how hard it can get but of course it’s different for everyone too and some people have it worse than others so I really hope you feel better soon. My best advice would be to reach out to any family and friends you trust and explain how you are feeling. If you feel that won’t be an easy option for you, then I would also suggest explaining how you feel to your midwife, feeling depressed during pregnancy can be quite common in pregnancy and can be very hard for some pregnant women to manage their depression. Your midwife should be able to give you options and support regarding how you feel through your pregnancy. Really hope you feel better soon and try to only surround yourself with people who you know will make you feel better and not worse (if possible of course). Always here for a chat if you feel that you need it!! :)☺️

I felt that way around the same time 💞 it’ll pass

I’m so so sorry you are going through this and feeling unsupported. ❤️I also dealt with feeling like my husband wasn’t giving me what I needed during my miscarriage before my current pregnancy and also felt I had made the wrong choice as you mentioned. I would try to have a serious but loving conversation with him telling him exactly what you need from him. Sometimes our partners aren’t as proactive as we might like, but once we express our needs clearly, they should want to step up and be there for us. My issue was I didn’t want to feel like a bother, and felt like I shouldn’t have to ask, but asking for exactly what I needed changed everything. I started by asking my husband that we set aside dedicated time together on the weekends and date nights. He doesn’t like to travel but we ended up planning a vacation together. I started doing small surprises for my husband and asked him to do the same. Now he brings me back small gifts on his work trips and brings home flowers sometimes. 😊
