Depression in pregnancy

I really wish I wasn’t writing this but just need some advice, as of the last couple of months I’ve been feeling really depressed and paranoid about everything. I’m almost 5 months pregnant and feel so guilty for feeling this way.
Is this normal? Any advice welcome

I think it’s more normal than people realise, but is often overlooked. I’m sure my sister had it.

Pregnancy can be overwhelming, as your body changes physically, and plus you cope with what the future will bring.

Speak to your midwife who may be able to help and reassure you.

Yes it's common to feel like that, but for some reason ppl don't talk about it much so it can catch you by surprise the first time especially.

Please don't feel guilty!
