Antenatal depression experience

[Nonymous1]

Hi I'm looking for mums who suffered with prenatal depression but who overcome this after baby arrived.
I'm suffering myself, some days waking up crying that I don't want this baby and I feel awful. I'm 21 weeks
Thank you
Xx

I wasn't formally diagnosed with it, but I spoke to my midwife about it and she arranged for my Health Visitor to visit before the baby was born to talk things through which was really very helpful.

I was struggling mentally in that I felt as though thick dark grey cloud had descended and it made me apathetic (only bothering to eat for the baby's sake etc.) and I was very concerned that I would struggle once the baby arrived.

I started feeling a little better at about 38 weeks and then once DD arrived the cloud lifted almost completely. I actually really enjoyed my first few weeks/months of being a mum which was such a relief after feeling so glum during pregnancy.

Hi. I had terrible pre natal depression, it pretty much lifted when my baby was born, but I had to go on medication at 35 weeks pregnant. I'm still on it but other than that all good. It was probably the scariest experience of my life. I hope you feel better soon, have you sought medical attention for it?

I suffered very badly with antenatal depression and anxiety during my second pregnancy so much so that I terminated my much wanted baby at 9 weeks! This was over a year ago but will stay with me forever! Please keep going and ask for help from your doctor and midwife, it's so important to reach out xx

Thank you for your replies!
I've booked 3 terminations but haven't been able to bring myself to go through with it. So there must be something in me that wants this baby.
I haven't been diagnosed officially but it must be what this is. I'm seeing a mental health professional in January so hopefully they will be able to shed some light and/or give me something to balance me out a little
Again thank you, and it's reassuring to know you felt better when baby arrived xx
