Antinatal depression struggles

[Kittykatmama84]

Hi, my first post on here. Guess I'm just hoping for some shared stories and a bit of hope.
I'm nearly 12 weeks with my second and although everything is going OK I've been hit like a train with antinatal depression.
Got it a bit with my first and it passed quite quickly but this time is much worse.
Suppose it might be compounded by loosing a baby in the spring and being made redundant/ having you start a new job recently.
Dispite that though I'm lucky, supported and financially fine.
Been to the midwife but 4 weeks wait to speak to someone. Can anyone recommend a good private Councillor btw?
Just quite hard to get through the days when all I want to do is sit on the sofa and mope. Keeping a smile on my face at work zaps the tiny bit of energy I have.
Anyone come through it shortly after the first trimester?
Thanks all x

Hey,

Here for you.

I'm in a similar boat. 16 weeks, lonely, a lot of my friends have vanished. My body is changing and I'm struggling to cope with it, along with the rest of my life never being the same again.

I found myself having around 3 drinks (in social settings) 3 times a week. I then spend the rest of the night awake and anxious Googling FASD.

Iv spoken to my consultant and midwife who have referred my to Antenatal therapy that I'm now waiting for, maybe they can do the same for you?
