I suffer with depression anyway and take sertraline to help this. When pregnant with ds I wasn't taking anything and I suffered awful pre and post natal depression. I onky saught help in march this year. Then I fell pregnant (planned and so appreciated!)

I'm now 33 weeks and I feel so flat. I could cry at everything and nothing. I often do. I have no get up and go about me. Can't be arsed to do anything. I'm out of breath as soon as I do do anything (breech baby). I want to feel festive but don't. I have a 2 year old ds who I feel like I'm letting down but I just don't have it in me.

Is this normal for this stage? Or is it my mental health playing up on me. I just don't know. I can't stand this feeling of limbo. I don't know if it's because of Christmas or the baby, it not being close enough to 'do' anything towards either. It's really getting me down.

Anyone else feel like this or have any advice?

Have you been advised to stop the anti depressant whilst pg? Speak to your GP or MW. You are far more likely to suffer from PND if you don’t look after your MH whilst pg.
Is OH taking the load off you? They should!

I've been taking the sertraline throughout on doctors advice.
Oh is definitely helping as much as he can bless him, but it's unfair to expect him to do it all.
