Depression
Anyone else recently started feeling antenatal/prenatal depression? If so, how is it presenting? (Sadness, irritable, etc) And what are you doing to address it? (Diet, exercise, time with friends?)

Irritable and sadness
Yes. So far my mood swings had simply been me crying over seeing something cute. But for the last two weeks I’ve had waves of sadness/fear/doubt. What I do is take a moment to recognize those feelings and see where they’re coming from. If I can’t get over them just by addressing them, I talk about it with my partner or my therapist. Hope that helps!
Mine is presenting as lack of motivation, sense of doom, irritable, sad, and at times numb, but I truly believe it’s because I have HG. I’ve had it with all three pregnancies. But also phenergan and anxiety meds that I’m taking have their own side effects/symptoms, so that definitely adds on to it. I’m taking it day by day, and some days hour by hour 😭
