I'm 30 weeks pregnant and just wondering if anyone else got the fear they'd get PND and how they combatted in, if at all.
I suffered from depression about ten years ago but completely recovered. But being pregnant, having a VERY stressful full time job (I am self employed in telly biz and working up to D Day) and a break down in my relationship with my narcissistic, pathological liar of a mother has left me very fearful. I wake up at night and my mind whirls with ridiculous scenarios, bordering on anxiety.
The ground just feels fertile for the depression to return once the baby has arrived and I don't know what I can do to prevent it.
Did anyone feel the same? I know hormones are probably making everything seem worse. I'm perfectly ready to be told to pull myself together, which I would love to do so I can enjoy the last 10 weeks of pregnancy.
