Antenatal depression or just feeling low?

I have been terribly ill, nauseous and sick since I found out I was pregnant, now 14 weeks, the sickness has eased but I still feel exhausted and mentally very low. I can’t motivate myself to do anything, literally anything except work a few days a week. I do as little as possible with my DD, taking almost all offers of babysitting including overnights from very helpful grandparents. I feel like I am failing her.

I have tearful ‘breakdown’ episodes a few times a week to my wonderful DH. I am feeling a little more attached to the baby than I did which is progress.

I am unsure whether this is relatively ‘normal’ or I should seek self help, outside help or hope that it passes further into the 2nd trimester? Has anyone else felt the same? Any pointers to self help free online stuff would be much much appreciated.

I would say wait it out until you think the placenta has taken over to see if it's just early pregnancy hormones.

UNLESS you have a preexisting MH condition or have had suicidal thoughts or feelings of wanting to "give up" but without a specific plan.
