Apologies for length of post...I have suffered with depression in the past. After the birth of DS I felt PND threaten a few times, but it went away.
I am now 22 weeks pg and I honestly don't feel like I am depressed. I feel like I am tired and hormonal, but I thought I'd ask the wise ones here.
DS was a problem sleeper until about a month before I got pg. Instead of the instant relief of sleeping through the night, I ended up with insomnia from a year of sleep deprivation. When I got my BFP I thought "Great! Pregnancy makes me tired, I will sleep."
Ha. I finally got to the point where I could sleep 5-6 hours a night (bliss) and then DH started coming home from his salsa evenings between 12 and 4am. When he comes in he is very noisy (small flat) and his clanging about in the kitchen wakes me up.
You would think that this would be easily remedied by him BEING QUIET but he just wont. We are arguing about it nonstop, I am angry with him all the time, he thinks I have flipped. I don't see how it's that much to ask to be quiet when I am trying to learn to sleep again and pg.
Anyway, I am only pg level tearful, I shout at DH (but I think it's justified) and I am not sleeping.
The last two nights he woke me at 1 and 1230 and I didn't get back to sleep at all. I am in the danger zone of tired physically. I don't feel like driving and I just want to go to bed.
Am I slipping into AND or am I knackered? It isn't normal not to go back to sleep after 2-3 hours...

Am I mad? Antenatal depression or fatigue?
