Is it unhealthy to be depressed during pregnancy?

I am clinically depressed and on my second child my first was completely healthy and is functioning normal lol. Its very hard when your emotions are all on full blast but sometimes ya just gotta sit back and think god damn it emotions your not getting me today...I have no friends either I don't ever leave my house yea its ***** but ya just gotta learn people are freaking stupid and find others to talk to hell even if its to your dog or something getting what your upset about out in the open helps and I'm sure any number of us on here wouldn't mind talking to you all day ya just gotta message them :)......don't worry so much momma your just fine

I could maybe get a therapist.  But unless my therapist wants to go shopping and socialize with me other than the hour they are getting paid for I don't see how it would help too much.  I can't stand this town or the people in it. It is meth city over here.  No one I can trust much less talk too and no one can even relate to how I feel or what I'm physically going through.

I'm very sorry you have to deal with all that. Have you looked into support groups or a therapist. I feel like the worse part for me is not venting. My mom's always busy. I literally have no friends. And my husband works constantly and os so stressed that when I complain it only makes it worse. With my first pregnancy I didn't talk to my family and had no friends and I truly beleive that's why I was so depressed.

Yep

[AnnabelWilson18]

Ha no!  No friends, hardly any family, and my boyfriend is emotionless and has absolutely no clue.

Once the baby is born there are medicine you can take that help allot. Just be open with your doctors. Also there are medicines that your ob can give you but they do come with some risk. Do you have anyone to talk to? Sometimes discussing your feelings or stressed can help. If you don't have anyone going to a therapist can help. And chocalate! I hope you feel better. I know I felt that way allot with my first. It's hopeless feeling.

[AnnabelWilson18]

Yeah, if I'm not already there :/

It happens. It's the hormones not to mention the stresses of life. It's good to mention it to your ob or midwife because they will keep an eye on it after birth to make sure you don't get postpartum depression.
