What is prenatal, antenatal, perinatal or antepartum depression and anxiety? In this video I discuss what signs your health care provider (doctor, midwife, therapist, etc.) will be looking for to diagnose your depression or anxiety during pregnancy.
Post partum depression has taken centre stage for quite a while, and just recently prenatal depression (those same feelings of helplessness, sorrow, guilt, anxiety and even rage, DURING pregnancy as apposed to after you give birth) has been getting much more attention.
Antenatal Depression can be a precursor to PPD. It's important to address it as soon as you can. The health and safety of you and your unborn child can be at risk if left untreated or ignored.
Check out PART II of this video where I talk about my own personal experience: • MY EXPERIENCE WITH PRE...

I am in my first trimester of my first pregnancy and I’ve been experiencing some of the worst depression and anxiety during of my life. My partner and I are not in alignment and that makes everything worse. I have had a tiny bit of suicidal ideation but it passes when I think about my baby. I’ve started therapy, I have 2 case managers, I also start working with my birth doula this week and start a group birthing class at the end of the month. So while I am struggling immensely, I have reached out for support and hopeful that it will be comforting.
Suicide... Always I always feel of doing that but there's a feeling that I need to live because of my kids and my unborn child. Living every day and feeling worthless is such a great suffering.
I feel exactly the same
p abainza me too, I feel exactly the same. I would love to end my life but feels that there is a responsibility for me to continue to live... I am 20 weeks and everything feels like a burden... I have lost interest in food, in water, in work, and in the pregnancy itself. But somehow there is an annoying responsibility to go on.
@@butterscotch1554 how r u now ?
I don't feel hungry anymore or thirsty or doing whatever i used to loved to do. Reading...singing...Lego...watching movies. Even now...i just give my things that used to be my favorite hobbies a blank stare. All I'm interested to do is sleep all day in the weekends, and pulling my hair n smacked my own forehead over n over again everytime i couldn't sleep. I'm 28 weeks now.
What I'm feeling right now. 😔
I’ve been feeling depressed lately. I’m 14 weeks pregnant and I’m just sad. All I do is cry. I’m happy about having my baby, and I’m excited to be a mommy and meet my little one, but I’m completely hurt over everything that’s going on with the dad. I can tell we’re growing apart. We broke up about 8 weeks into my pregnancy and it was easy at first, but now it’s getting hard. I didn’t think my first pregnancy would be like this. It’s like he’s not in love with me anymore and I’m not with hin either, I just can’t believe it’s happening this way. I don’t want to be with him, but I do feel like a failure for it not working out. I just feel like he’s not effected by the lost of our relationship. He’s so easily moved on, like I never even matter. Wish I had someone to talk to
Same it’s happening in my life, but I what to know how do you feel know in your life how long take to feel better about the depression! How it’s your baby doing?
I'm so sorry to hear this sister 😞
I'm here for you. You can do this. Be strong for your baby who needs you.
I’m so sorry. Wish there was a way I could help.
Definitely needed to hear this. My parents and my adult children were not happy for me at all when I told them. My mother not being happy for me definitely hurt the most. I’m recently remarried and we got pregnant right away and at 40 years old it has been so stressful. To not have my family’s support and also not having any friends has not helped. My husband and I argue a lot now that I’m pregnant which also doesn’t help. I just can’t get excited. I’m 25 weeks and haven’t bought anything for the baby yet. I haven’t chosen a name and have done nothing else to prepare because I have yet to feel any excitement at all around this pregnancy. I prayed for one last chance to be a mom and now that I have it, the depression totally overshadows any sense of joy I thought I would have. My husband’s family is excited but it’s not the same as your own flesh and blood being happy for you. When the baby is born I don’t want anyone around my baby. If they can’t be happy for me now then I don’t want them around me or my baby when he is born. The idea of having no family support or any friends just makes it even more of a heavy weight on me. I want to do nothing but sleep and I hate leaving the house to do any mundane tasks. I dealt with bad depression before I got pregnant and had postpartum depression in my previous pregnancies which just makes me numb to where I can’t even begin to truly bond or talk to my baby. I sit in silence when I’m not working because I talk for my job in customer service. So I don’t talk to my baby as much as I wanted to before getting pregnant this time. It’s just been really really hard. Glad to know I am not alone in what I’m feeling.
Best of luck and best wishes to all expecting moms dealing with the same. ❤
I’m in the exact same shoes as you. Pregnant and no family or friends. Literally all I do is cry and want to hide and feel completely worthless. There’s no help available from doctors or therapists. No one knows how to help. I don’t know when this crippling loneliness will end. And yep I feel the exact same way about not wanting anyone around my baby who didn’t support me during the pregnancy. It has been so awful and literally no one gives a shit.😞
same here😢
I am not in talking terms with my parents and brother, as they chose not to stand by me when my first child was born. Now that I am 31 weeks pregnant with my second one and dealing with a tumultuous relationship with my husband, it feels lonely. Sometimes I cry infront of my 4 year old daughter and she pacifies me. She’s the one keeping me alive. I feel sorry for my unborn baby whom I am not able to give happiness inside.
As soon as she started stating the symptoms, I started balling. Then what she said towards the end, got me started again. This is very familiar to me 😔🙏🏽💕
As a male and a partner of someone who is going through this right now I can’t say how much I appreciate this information. I’m trying to understand what my partner and I are up against. One thing I’d like to point out is just how hard it can also be for the partner of the person going through the depression. Especially when neither people understand what is happening. It’s like fighting an invisible enemy that can come between you.
I also feel the same way. It’s hard really hard. No one is actually able to help . Comment section is filled with like feelings .
This is me i feel so helpless. Like I always putting on smile and even when I tell people i feel depressed they don't understand n say its the baby🙄🙄. LIKE DONT NOBODY SEE ME BREAKING INTO PIECES
This is really good. Depressed person really needs some one to understand her and support her to get rid of her feelings. Not to increase the feelings. Some are lucky to have some one to talk and settle their minds. I wish everyone will get all the support specially from their families to go through this difficult period of depression. Because this is only for short period of time.
Anyone else pregnant and depressed during covid? :)
me 😢

I’m depressed mainly over my ex. I wish for him to come back and be more supportive and care for me. I cry almost daily and I’m trying to have a stronger mindset, but it’s really hard and I’m just weak.
Sometimes is best doing this alone than having someone that is emotionally abusive , and I understand because I cry almost every day , i am now 38 weeks pregnant and I didn’t want to be pregnant but I also know it’s not the baby’s fault , and I have a lot of resentment towards my bf , but I know once the baby is out things will get better so keep it up and think positive .
At least you're honest.
From someone in a similar situation I UNDERSTAND! GLAD IM NOT ALONE I feel horrible and embarrassed
I am in the same situation. I am glad I'm not alone. I cry almost every day, my house is a mess, I don't have energy for anything and dealing with him is exhausting. It gets harder everyday and not easier
@@Anonymous-lr9we same sitaution. My husbands of 10 years just left.
I am watching this while crying .20 weeks pregnant hope everything gets better
Same here ❤😢 did everything get a little better for you
Same here,I am 22 weeks pregnant.Not getting enough attention from my husband because he’s too busy with his job.😢
I hope you and your baby are ok ❤
I'm depressed because when my family and friends had their moments to shine, I supported them. when I told them I was pregnant, they all brushed me off... my own brother didn't even call me... my two sister in laws ignored me... so I told my husband I didn't want none of them seeing the baby if they truly don't give a shit. and now my husband is pissed at me because he has no balls to stand up for me. meanwhile his sister never bothers with him unless she needs something, and my brother is the same with me. so I'm not just depressed over nothing. I get no support from my surviving family
Lorettamarie G I totally understand! It’s so important to support pregnant women for both their health and emotional stability as well as the life long physical and emotional health of the babies!
I hope that you can work it out with your husband and at least find a bit of care and support that you need from him. It might be worth it to explain how hormones can effect women during pregnancy (if he knows your hormones are affecting your mood he might be more patient and supportive), and how a woman’s emotions during pregnancy can affect their unborn babies (search CZcams videos on Dr. Gabor Mate and Gordon Newfeld on this topic, they have lots of info! Stress in the mom during pregnancy puts the baby at higher risk of ADHD, addictions, depression, etc., later in life!).
If no one else can be there for you, find the strength within yourself to be what your baby needs from you right now, even before he/she is born. You are a strong and very capable woman! You can get through this!
Been there, it’s the absolute worst
Omg story of my life too. I can’t wait till I get over this I’ve felt pain but this is starting to become unbearable. I need the support and it’s No where with them.
Wow. I'm 14 weeks pregnant and now I'm terrified that my stress will effect my baby's life forever. :'(
I’m so glad I looked these up. I feel so crazy having this. Totally depressed about having a boy and it’s been terrible.
Courtney USMC wife how are you feeling now?
Am battling this and I feel like my life is just shuttered 😢😢😢
The FK's I’m so sorry that you’re going through this!! Find support if you can, through counselling or mommy groups, or even talk to you doctor. Hormones are serious! They really affect our emotions. Plus having a baby is such a huge life change that of course it’s going to bring up a lot of fears, anxiety, etc.
I’m thinking of you! I hope you can feel better soon!
Me too I just feel hopeless and alone. I am only 22 and I don’t feel excited and don’t know what to do I just feel like my life is over
Fertility, Pregnancy & Birth by The Aweslims this is how I’m feeling dealing with depression and anxiety and brain zaps
Hang in there mama!let us rejoice in the Lord!
Same. And having thoughts of leaving this earth
Thank you for this.
10 weeks and hopeless.
I have EDS, POTs and MCAS as well as major depression,
Anxiety and PTSD.
I can’t take care of myself now let alone a baby .
I’m in constant pain and agony.
I can’t complete this pregnancy .
I feel I have no choices and want to die.
I pray all the time but feel suicide calling loudly.
I’m in love with the father but upset we aren’t married and don’t know how we will get through this.
Heartbroken .
I'm sorry you are suffering. Hope you are feeling better.❤
How are you now?
I'm 22 weeks and lately I just feel really alone. It seems stupid when I'm growing a human. My friends and family are so supportive too. But the father and I aren't together and he's really cold about it all. I know I shouldn't be so affected by it but I am. It's so distressing. I'm so tired and sad all the time and it sucks. I just want him to care the tiniest bit. He's the only person who doesn't care and he's the one I want around most.
I feel you girl xx
@@mumsiedarkdragon2296 it sucks, very heartbreaking way to feel honestly.
@@ultravioletskye I'm in very much the same kind of situation. It feels like my heart breaks fresh every day.
@@mumsiedarkdragon2296 I understand. For me, it's not even about me loving him. I'm pregnant enough that I can tell the baby wants him around. Not that he seems to care much. Best of luck, sweetie. I hope you're able to make the best of a bad situation. That's what I'm trying to do.
How are you feeling know in your life with all this situación? I feel like I never gonna be the same I am very afraid! I have 8 weeks
I had a breakdown at the obg office just started 😢 crying it was kind of embarrassing has anyone experienced anything like this?
I can definitely relate to your experience. I’m currently 7 1/2 months and things are hard.
Yep. Did it the other morning & tonight as I'm writing this. But I always do it in private.
same and i’m only 8 weeks it’s the worse feeling ever so numb but so broken at the same time
I have most definitely
🤚🏻 I am loosing my mind girl.
Its like a part of my is happy that Im taking this step in my life but I just dont feel like I deserve to be carrying my bf kid. Hes so happy and constantly showing me love but I just hate it I want to run away from him ive done so much for him throughout my life and now I have to put my life that I never focused on on pause to raise his kid. I feel like my life revolves around him and his happiness and I love him but I just dont feel supported in any way emotionally and before I was pregnant I used to get high to deal with my anxiety but now its like being sober and never dealing with my depression in the past is also hurting me. I just want this baby to be born already so I can just remove myself emotionally from it.
Yeah, U couldn't have said it any better. My husband also acts happy as hell, with no baby in his stomach or none of my fears about second time delivery. Were on our second. I feel like pregnancy is a selfless thing we have 2 endure, and these men are so naive to how rough pregnancy is, and oblivious to anything we go thru. Currently feeling unheard and disrespected. He don't believe me when I tell him I'm feeling like shit.
I’m scared if I tell anyone in the medical system about my depression that they will lock me up or take my baby away I’ve been in the mental health hospital before and I couldn’t do that pregnant
Im scared to tell my obgyn as well. I don't want my baby taken away from me or I am locked up in mental institute
Me too, I've been in twice involuntarily and it wasn't a good experience. Drug out of my house strapped to stretcher and police escort to the mental hospital the next day. I used to be open about it with medical professionals but not anymore. When my OBG asked me if I had a history of depression and anxiety I just quickly changed the subject
I'm afraid to tell too.
Same
What country do you live in, or do you have any female support to help when baby is born?
thank you so much for making this video! So helpful! Can't figure out what's going on with my mood. Definitely don't have all the parts of what depression looks like but definitely feeling down and want this to go away!!! There are definitely some changes I can make in my lifestyle that hopefully help! Thank you
Thank you for making these videos. My sister is pregnant and she was somewhat depressed before she got pregnant, but now that she is pregnant she is very depressed and suicidal. I’m really worried about her.
How is she now? Currently going through this 😔
@@dulceivette18 As far as i know, she's doing much better. she had her baby and that brought her a lot of happiness she didn't have when she was pregnant. she also got out of an abusive relationship she was in with the baby's father, and i assume that helped as well. i'm so sorry to hear you're going through this currently :( there isn't much i can tell you except for keep pushing through. which i know probably doesn't help, but you should keep going. just one reason is that if no one else does, your baby needs you. and it quite literally can't live without you. so maybe that would help a little bit to think about? not that you haven't thought about that before, i'm just not sure what to say, i'm sorry; i'm ignorant when it comes to depression and being suicidal, as i've never actually experienced it myself.
@@dulceivette18 I hope your doing better 🥺❤️. I’m only a few weeks and I feel all those symptoms
I am happy to have found this video. Thanks for sharing. I just needed a little encouragement and to educate myself as I go through my pregnancy symptoms. My gratest challenge presently is the fact that I have no apitite for food and I think it is making me sad. I want to eat but I don't feel for anything in particular especially that most things just taste awful to me. Every day is a challenge with what to eat. I am also not eating as healthy as I know I should and that adds to my concern...I am aware my mental health is very important so I am watching these videos to learn to combat the feelings as I go through my pregnncy. I am praying just to endure and I know God is able. All the best to all the moms out there.
As a to be dad with 3 weeks to go. This really helps with how to help my lady and strive for better 🙏❤️🔥
15 weeks and I am sooooo saaaaad. I can't even get out of bed
I'm currently having my twin pregnancy right now(18 weeks). I'm always stressed, sad and I always feel worthless. I can't even share with my partner because he's mainly the reason why and I'm hesitant to share with my friends or family too because they might not understand me. I don't know what to do.
Eye Knee I feel you 💛😢
how do you cope with during pregnancy. I am also experiencing during my pregnancy from 5th month. Now 6th month started.
I’m so tired of people who make you feel bad for not liking the pregnancy. I like the idea of having kids but not the pregnancy process
I relate to this. My partner is going through a lot and he uses my feelings against me. He’s rude and snaps at me and claims that I choose to be sad over it
I’m depressed now bc my fiancé just can’t seem to get our household together with out me wrking close to my due date
You know what sucks.. is that you look for videos and you find one.. but your mind won’t shut up.. so you exit it and feel like lost..
Got you... how do you feel know?
Yeah, the mind never stops and you can't really concentrate and nothing really helps. Usually, doing workouts helps me but being 36 weeks pregnant kind of makes this difficult
I am 33 weeks and starting to stress over second labor. I'm scared! Husband don't wanna hear it which makes this isolating. I'm also scared of preterm labor, and not allowed to express my own concerns to my own husband.
Im battling with major mental issues and depression. Im 31 weeks pregnant. My fiances family doesnt care about the baby at all.... its really heartbreaking to me. He doesnt defend me when its warranted and just allows me to be emotionally torn to shreds, after always admitting my wrongs when proper and them never admitting theirs. They are all entitled. They all have been given places to live and have barely struggled. Ive been through profound trauma and real loss. Im also already a mother 3 times. This is his first. Ive bought everything for this baby. Hes not thoughtful, affectionate or loving. His mother is a disabled (due to her own choices in life) woman whos naive like a child. Shes cruel and mean. She has turned his family against me and has been the most unsupportive human to ever cross my path. I honestly believe im trapped. 😢im due soon and scared
Pretty sure I have this I'm eight months pregnant I sleep all the time I eat one meal a day don't feel motivated to take care of myself I only do it when I have to
I hope you heal ❤🙏🏽
Been feeling most of these (except the suicide one) since a week.. In the beginning i thought it was the death of my cat that's making me sad cause she was such a sweetheart.. But now I'm feeling so bad that, i feel like.. I don't even want my baby.. I hate it.. I don't wanna have a baby, i wish i were not pregnant and i wish i could run away.. And I'm due in 3 days.. My baby's about to be born.. What can i do?? Doctors in my country don't consider mental illnesses that may occur during pregnancy and after birth.. I feel so lost, my husband is trying all he can to cheer me up, he's so sweet but i can't feel happy at all.. It's like the only thing i feel is sadness, anger and guilt.. I feel like my cat died because of me and that i could have prevented her from getting into a road accident.. Maybe i should have kept her in a cage her entire life, i don't know.. I want her back
I’m the same way but also with the suicidal. My boyfriend and everyone else are so happy about my pregnancy but i just can’t be happy about it no matter how hard i try to be. I don’t want α baby or to be pregnant. I feel trapped and that I’m only living for everyone else. Anyway, how are you doing? Did you go into labor yet? If you have, how did you feel when you met your baby? (If you respond, please like my comment. I won’t see that you replied if you don’t like it bc I’m not able to see when people reply, i only get notifications for likes on my comments)
Thank you for talking about pregnancy depression and suicidal thoughts . Thank to everyone who shared similar thoughts. Makes me feel safe somehow
I am having relationship issue with my mom and my soon to be husband. I am bothered by the thought the he would do it again to me even though he promised he will change. I can't erase the thought that something bad would happen. I am very anxious and i want to be alone. My mom was never been nice to me except when she needs money for herself. Now that i am going to get married, i haven't inform her. I am afraid that she will make a scene. Before when thing went bad, she sometimes tells/curses me that i will have a special child like her. I think my relationship issue and past experiences causing me to have symptoms like depression and anxiety.
In the middle of my second, and I am so unexplainably tired. I used to wake up at 5:00-5:30 and do so much. Everyday I tell myself I am going to do that again, and I haven’t been able to.
thank you so much for sharing this , alot of us dealing with this without knowning what is it ? and how to get rid of it... also very comfortable to feel like others been through what you are dealing with
When you have all of these symptoms 🤦🏾♀️
I'm ashamed to say. But yes. I have this current problem
I am 33 weeks pregnant,suddenly negative thinking coming in my head,i am feeling unhappy about happy,before i was too much excited,i feel my baby is insecure to me,i don’t know why this type of things coming in my head
It’s so hard I just sit in the same place all day unable to do anything just wishing I could die. I have no one around me, no close family or friends or the dad. It’s just me and I have no idea how I’m gonna do any of it. I’m scared about when the baby is actually born, I worry I will never sleep and won’t be able to care for it properly 😞i didn’t even want a child I just couldn’t face having an abortion 😢
Mine is 100% a chemical imbalance, and it’s so overwhelming, the medication I need, I can’t take.
Your baby is so beautiful. Thanks for this video by the way ❤️
Your video helped me so much thank you for making me feel so much better about this ❤️❤️❤️
Great video..I think I have all these symptoms 😪
me too :(
Thank you for this video. I needed to hear these simple words of Peace.
mika lewis you are welcome! I hope you’re doing well
Dear, you are so beautiful in your Simple honesty. Thank you for your strength. What is the song you played for about 5 seconds at the end of this video? I could tell I would love it and I feel like I need it right now. I’m just coming to terms with the fact that I’m in this prenatal depression right now. It feels really hard and sad and I’m working on finding help I need. Thanks! I’m also sad this is not more widely discussed. 1 in 5! Why is the only assumption people seem to have is that it’s such a good time and “you look healthy” is all there is too it. It feels like a very complex time for me for so many reasons and then I have the expectation in myself and with others to deal with that I hoped it would be such a great time and feel so natural or something when in reality I feel like it’s a very foreign experience for me. I wish I smiled with every movement I feel inside but instead sometimes I cry and feel more sad and tired. This is very sad for me because I love her so much but I feel such mixed emotions. Thanks again. Any other song recommendations for releasing emotions like these is welcome!!! 😌
Im physically sick and I'm depressed because of it and suicidal ..I'm stuck because I have 3 kids and one on the way..
I'm 16 weeks pregnant and so depressed!
❤️
People aren’t understanding I am depressed and they themselves have been mothers. I’m at a loss. I’m reclining in my bed every single day and I feel terrible about it.
I think I had this in my first trimester and early in my 2nd trimester.... someone recently said pregnancy doesn't make you thht hormonal in the first trimester and I was basically faking it.
Andrea V. Jácome oh me too I am in early second trimester and I feel sad sometimes I can’t say it’s depression but kinda not happy for no reason
Wow! Your hormones change SO MUCH as soon as the fertilized egg implants into your uterus, so it make perfect sense for you to feel hormonal at any time during pregnancy. Even if you’re NOT pregnant, as women our hormones are constantly cycling through changes that affect our entire bodies & emotions. I’m sorry they said that
I been very depressed the last weeks. I don’t feel like doing anything just laying down all day. Is horrible I’m 7 months pregnant now and this feeling is just horrible as if nothing makes sense. covid-19 has taking my peace.
I am 7 months pregnant too and feel exactly the same. I'm so low recently and I know the virus has made everything feel so much harder. Hope you find your peace again!
Amy Caswell I’m sorry that you feel this way. Please stay safe and let’s try to focus on our baby that soon he or she will be here with us. Hopefully this covid-19 will get better and we can look back and pick up our blessings.
dont know how to navigate this feelings, feeling down all the time. currently on my third pregnancy and would want nothing but the best for my child. 😢
32 weeks pregnant,I don't want to harm myself in anyway. But I don't really want to live. 😭
Me Too 😔😔
I can relate 😞 I’m praying for you both. 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️
Guess I'm not depressed... Just tired of my husband's shit 😑
I got depressed after my miscarriage last November, last year. I get more depressed now that I am 6 weeks and five days pregnant. Don't know what to do? I'm having a hard time sleeping.
How are you holding now?
It's quite different being pregnant after a miscarriage, isn't it..
I think my woman is suffering from this and pushing me away what should I do
Be supportive im currently pregnant n pushing my bby daddy away with all this
Let her know you are there for her if she needs it, it's very hard to be emotionally vulnerable especially with any potential judgment she may be receiving in other areas of her life. Maybe she read into something you or someone else said and feels the need to withdraw for some sense of autonomy of safety. It may not be your fault, don't feel bad about yourself. All you can really do is verbalize for her that you are willing to take care of her and maybe show with small actions here and there.
I thought I was overreacting
Thank you. I have a few questions! Im worried sense my stress and anixety will make my Dr. think Im unfit idk how to address it to her about my concerns I am a healthy person but my living situation and being a single mom is stressful
Marilyn Blackwell - This is a legitimate concern! I thought the same thing. The best thing you can do is just tell your doctor the truth so that you can get the help you need. They’re usually very non judgemental and are there to help. They understand the hormonal changes that take place in a woman’s body when pregnant and how that can impact emotions. Once you’ve told her, she can refer you to specialists, therapist, councillors, etc, to make sure all of your needs are taken care of.
This was so informational ❗️ and yes therapy does help
My severe prenatal depression that I experienced last year made me choose abortion
Now I'm pregnant again and I'm very scared that if will happen again
I have an appointment with a dr today
As I believe many drs are not good at their job, all I can hope is that he knows the situation and can help me prevent the severity of my depression
You can take anti depressants while pregnant..
OMG, I am so gratefull that you shared this, because I went through the exact same thing! My second pregnancy was a miscarriage, but I was seriously contemplating abortion again and already made an appointement at the clinic. I wish you all the best, how are you doing?
@Hartleymolly
It was already too late, and I was too deep in the mud
I'm 5 months pregnant now, I again went through horrible depression, to an extent where I had passive suicidal thoughts
By week 12, when I could have my first appointment to see my dr, I was a bit better, and she said now that you are better, let's try not to take pills
I'm much better now but still terrified about future depressive episodes, including postpartum depression
I'm prone to depression and I think it is mainly hormonal
I really don't know how to control my feminine hormones
@Floor7586
Doing much better
Less angry at health care providers who didn't help me as much when I was struggling the first time
I will be 39 soon, and I wonder HOW they could let me abort my first child considering the severity of the infertility problems for my age
What if I couldn't get pregnant again??
Soon after abortion I started trying again, and I was worried that it might not happen at all
I had a chemical pregnancy first, then got pregnant with my daughter and am counting days to meet her
When I was struggling with severe depression in the first months this time, all I could think about was that this was the only child I wanted
But now that I'm better, I'm hoping to have 2 more children before all my eggs are gone
I don't want my child to end up being alone in the far future
Siblings are so precious
I have 3 myself, and I value them so much
@64 Hi, thank you for your response! I was 38 at my abortion, so simular again! I really hope that you will be happy with your daughter and that she will have siblings. I am so glad that you are doing well.
And yes, I was also really angry at the clinic and afraid that I would never get another child. Why did they not help me with the way I was feeling? ALso they inserted a copper IUD and I was bleeding sooo much that I thought that my uterus was completely damaged.
Because I was feeling so depressed again last pregnancy, I am afraid of trying again and also my relationship is not good enough it feels like sometimes.
I feel really sad, because I am 39 and want to become a mother but have too many psychological problems it seems...and after promising my BF in impulses that I wanted to try for children (he really wants to have children) I now feel like it is unfair to look for somebody else and also to late. I also am just too critical of him I think. We have not known eachother long.
I hope a miracle will happen and that I will find myself in some way and that the relationship will change and that I will have at least 1 child. I have 4 siblings and have more then 1 kid seems ideal, but still I feel like I rather have 1 then none...hopefully this is not selfish.
I’m battling this while in Covid it’s the worse

Thank you so much for this video.
Can you get prenatal depression because you are not actually ready to be a mum ? Or because you don’t feel like you have accomplished things in your life?
Are u ok now
