| Call your doctor and say just what you told us on here. If you are depressed it's not your fault - it's probably just the prego hormones. It is important to let your doc know though. ↑ |

| awww danses, the last part of your pregnancy is hard anyways and it's hard to focus on anything. But in your situation, I can see how your upset, w/ your husband being away nothing is going the way you pictured it. Pregnancy is a special time in our lives that most girls dream of and expect to be a certain way just like they do a wedding ya know, and when it's not going as planned it's hard, and you have every right to what your feeling. I see what your saying about telling your dr. just tell him exactly as you did on here, it was plain it was simple, and you didn't make yourself seem like an unstable lunatic. I am sending you great big hugssss!!!!!! I hope things work out for you, it is so easy for me to say this than it is for you to do it, but calm down try to relax, and enjoy this time in your life, I know it's hard w/ out your husband but this is a time that will not every replay itself, maybe you will have more kids but this is your first and itr's special. ↑ |

| aww sweety u need to call and say something. it took me way too long to mention it to my doctor, and i should have been on meds the whole time. instead i drove myself crazy into tears just about every day thinking about just ending it all i couldnt take it. with jonathon being gone and u being pregnant, id be a raging effing loony too, hell i was when i was here and scott was in turkey the first time, and even in turkey i was b.c he was always working i just felt so damn lonely. u need to say something. there is nothing wrong withyou. you're just drained hun, and its completely normal. i love you :) ↑ |

| And....I bet Coartney can vouch for this - if you don't take care of yourself now, you'll be a complete wreck once the baby gets here. You need to let the doc know because if you are depressed during the pregnancy you may be at risk of PPD. I'm not saying any of this to scare you or put you down in any way, it's just that the more depression sets in, the harder it will be for you to reach out, and you may stop recognizing the symptoms. Your doctor will understand, and will probably appreciate you being honest so they can help you. ↑ |

| I had felt the same way in my pregnancy. I shared it with my friends sometimes, but I never felt better. I just got over it, but not everyone does so talk to your doctor about it. It's okay to feel sad, but if your depressed it's better for you and your baby to speak to the dr. ↑ |

| you should go see your doctor.. its quite common to get prenatal depression .. and it could get worse after you have your baby.. last thing you want after giving birth is to be all down and depressed.. you wanna enjoy it. Sorry you feel so crap =( ↑ |

| Danese - see if your hospital has a PPD support group. Maybe they can offer some support over the weekend and until your baby is born. Even though you're not post-partum, they would still be really helpful. Most hospitals have groups like that cause it's fairly common. Hang in there - we're here for you too:) ↑ |

| yeah mara i'll look and see what they have... i just dont want to worry my mil about me she has so much now..and i dont have a car at the moment..not till next week... ↑ |

| Even just caling and getting the info will make you feel better, and maybe they can have someone call you and talk to you for a little bit. ↑ |
| Name: DaneseS | Date: Apr 28th, 2007 2:11 AM |
| yeah i talked to my momtoo and she is supportive of talking to the doctor and getting counseling....which helps too...but i will definantly see..i do need something.... ↑ |

| I'm sorry you are having such a rough time. I know you must feel so lonely with your hubby being gone, but at least your mom is being supportive of you. If you don't feel comfortable talking to your doctor, try talking to the nurse before the doc comes in....that is if you are comfortable with the nurse. Then she can let the doc know what's going on and maybe it won't feel so awkward. You definitely need to say something though and take care of yourself now before the baby comes. Everything will be okay sweetie. ↑ |

| Make sure you talk to your doctor. It is nothing to be ashamed of & they hear it all so this is nothing different. I would definitely make sure you get dr involved because when baby is born you may have a higher chance of post partum depression (which is also nothing to be ashamed of!). This way if you start antidepressants now you won't have a possibility of PPD. Stay away from Paxil (it is not good for prego women). Good Luck and I hope you feel better soon! ↑ |

| yeah i am calling tomorrow...i am scared sorta i have never had any problems before..i know it happens and i want to do whats best for me and my daughter...ppd scares me so i want o make sure i get help now..if i need it.. ↑ |

| You may want to try and write it down and pass it to the dr when they walk in. I always had a list of things when I went to the dr (I could never remember big time baby brain). This may make it easier to do and that is a ok. Hold your head up high there are many people in your same situation. The great thing is it can be fixed. It may take time & some med changes but it will all work out. ↑ |

| my appointment isnt until the 8th if i wait until my docs appointment...so i thought i should call and talk to someone tomorrow...i dunno...should i wait until my appointment... ↑ |

| I think with the way you are feeling contacting them this week would be the best, maybe you could ask to have your appt moved up so that you can kill 2 birds with one stone but say that it is important that you get an appt asap. Just explain you really feel horrible and it is taking a toll on you and the sooner you can get in the better. If they dont take you seriously or blow you off continue to explain how everyday is a real struggle and you truly need to come in asap. Everything will work out great! No worries. ↑ |

you really need to talk to your doctor. So you don't end up doing something to you and your baby because I am sure you don't want to do that. Do you have family you can go stay with while you are pregnant or a friend?
love,

| I was put on Prozac at 26 weeks and it was a life saver...since I had Harper i have been suffering from postpartum depression and was just prescribed Xanex...if you're depressed now, you have a predisposition to ppd...let us know how it goes w/ your dr...meds wouldn't harm the baby now and alot of them are very safe during pregnancy and bf ↑ |
| Name: DaneseS | Date: Apr 30th, 2007 1:13 AM |
| yeah i will let everyone know whats happens...thanks for all the support everyone it means alot to me ↑ |
| Name: DaneseS | Date: Apr 30th, 2007 5:08 PM |
| how did you approach your doctor bout the situation kristy... ↑ |
| Name: question | Date: Apr 30th, 2007 6:52 PM |
Hey Danese,
sorry thing are going so rough for you.I can totally feel for you because I have been experiencing the same thing.I cry at even ths smallest things.I hate that! The other night I even started crying in the middle of intercourse with my bf,thankfully he has been really understanding lately and just held me tight.I plan to talk to my doctor at my next appt.Keep your head up,it will get better. ↑ |
| Name: DaneseS | Date: Apr 30th, 2007 7:08 PM |
| question when is your next appoinment? ↑ |
| Name: Kristy84 | Date: Apr 30th, 2007 7:21 PM |
I told her how I was feeling and that I really thought it would be best if I went on meds b/c I hated how I felt everyday. This is very common and OBs are trained to help women w/ ppd, which you can have while still pregnant. You want to start the meds now and continue until awhile after the baby's born. I'm on meds now but before I got on them at 26 weeks I seriously thought that i was going insane...just talk to your dr. they will ocmpletely understand.
btw..how are you feeling today? ↑ |
| Name: DaneseS | Date: Apr 30th, 2007 7:29 PM |
| thanks! i feel ok today but not normal at all...i have been trying to call the dr's but hey arent picking their phone up......but yeah i feel like i am going insane too....i dont like it... ↑ |
