Hi! If anyone can post positive outcomes of their antenatal depression here without resorting to medication? Any mamas out there whose AND lifted when the baby came out? And did not develop into PND.
I am currently 27weeks and suffering from AND right now. It started on my 12th week. Its as if someone has flipped a switch and the anxiety attacks started along with unexplained sadness that i cry ( i have no major problems. Family is great, 3rd pregnancy, no problems at all yet i feel so sad and heavy emotionally), loss of interest in things i used to like, feel numb like when i look at my children i dont feel anything. I have no history of depression. First 2 pregnancies were great. First time to feel this.
I am feeling better though. Less crying spells, able to function more, laughing more, sadness not so intense as when it first started. Is this hormonal? GP monitors me and says its hormonal and that it will go away by itself and in my case i do not meds. I am not suicidal.
Anyone please post your POSITIVE AND experience WITHOUT meds and no PND.
