I posted yesterday about my current mood the last month or so, I am 29 weeks pregnant. I know in myself I am not me, I'm sick of hearing that it's to do with isolation etc. Today all I've thought is that i think this baby and everyone else is better off without me. Are these normal feelings during pregnancy I'm genuinely not coping!?

I am single, don't want to go to midwife as I'm concerned about them noting any of these thoughts down, but I feel like I'm falling apart!

You definitely need to call your midwife. Ante natal depression is more common than many people realise. Midwives are used to dealing with it. As a soon to be mum you are a priority for nhs therapy and treatment. It's important you get support in place before the baby arrives. Good luck OP xxx

Speak to your midwife or gp. They are there to support you not judge you.
Antenatal depression is real, should be taken seriously but it does not reflect badly on you. There are therapy options and some medication is safe to take in pregnancy.

I was in A&E 4 months ago because I felt suicidal. Was referred to specialist mental health team for pregnant ladies and all they've been is supportive. Absolutely no judgement and no calling social services or anything like that, which I was also worried about. The fact you're asking for help is a good thing. I'm a thousand times better than I was because of the support I've received.
