Pre-Natal Depression?

[beth1234]

Hey everybody,not been on for a whileee!
The thing is, i think i have prenatal depression. Not entirly sure tho.

I sound terrible, but i just seem so uniterested in this prenancy. Im 28 weeks and havnt made my midwife appt that i was supposed to make at 24 weeks. Iv bought very minimal things, havnt thought about names.. and iv just started getting a bump, which i have been hiding with floaty tops.
If anyody writes on my facebook about the pregnancy, i quickly delete it.
i hav no idea what is wrong with me. a few weeks ago, i even wished id go into labour early.
All of this is probably going toshock you, but i just wanted to be honest
i dont remember feeling at all like this withmy first, and i love him to absolout bits. i just cant understand what the hell is wrong with me

Hi Beth, Sorry to hear you are feeling this way. It's not shocking at all and your midwife will have dealt with it all before so don't feel embarrassed to tell her how you feel! Have you made the appointment already?? x

I felt like this all the way through my pregnancy with zander why am I pregnant why am I having another baby and genrally not talking about bump only when I had too also I felt like if something did happen to him is early labour inwasnt even that arsed - till the moment henwas born and now he is my world I got really down with my first and I'm not 100% with this one either as I'm not enjoying being pregnant a whole lot but am allot more happy than the last time
round this time round I want to keep baby inside me as I know it's going to be harder with three lol!! Zander wasn't planned tho was this baby planned? If will peon all change min you have baby in your arms he/she will be your world x x

thanks everybody, i feel a whole lot better knowing that im not the only one who has felt this way!
I havnt made the appt yet, cant make it til wednesday, stupid clinic!
Nope this baby wasnt planned at all, althought saying that, we'd had unprotected sex a couple of times, knowing wht could happen, but id just come off the pill that id been on for a year, so in all honesty, we didnt think it was possible.
Evie - i have felt the same, about if he was born too early, would i really care.. iv gotten better about tht tho, imstarting to care more, and i dont want him to be born too early and be ill, but at the sametime, i just dont want to be pregnant anymore

it's ok Hun you're not alone x

 

[ria__x]

it looks like everyone has already offered sound advice to you and i know what you mean, when you know other people feel the same way it seems so much more managable! didn't want to just read and run so glad to hear you'll be talking to your MW and that least you've recognised signs sooner rather than later, it gets sorted out much quicker i tell you from experience of just normal depression! xxx

 

[Squeakz]

good luck chick and keep ya chin up and keep talkin bout it, it will get better im sure xxx

 

[*Hope*]

you could just be down and dont enjoy being pregnant!?

up until last month or 2 i didnt enjoy being pregnant at all either! i dreaded showing and the whole thing felt like a never ending scary time. I had to leave my job, sell my horse, move home (long story) fell out with some of my family. so i was down and didnt really enjoy the pregnancy but things all fell into place and these last couple of monmths have been much better. so dont lose hope babe.

also, buying stuff really helped me, so maybe try to get lovely clothes or decorate a bedroom for your baby. maybe read some baby books too, this all helped me. xx
