Antenatal depression

[Zibidee]

I think I have this...I'm crying most days and even today during a hypnobirthing relaxation and affirmations session I couldn't stop crying.
Its all been triggered by a gestational diabetes diagnosis a few weeks ago which caused stress anxiety around limiting my birthing options, but now I've got used to the new diet and all the finger pricking and medications, I'm still crying all the time and can't make myself think positively about birth.
I'm also worried this might turn into postnatal depression.
How can I snap myself out of this?

You can't snap yourself out of it per se but you can get help. Pregnancy hormones are really hard and can mess with you. Have you spoken to the midwife/GP? I was asked how I was feeling at my booking in and I told them I felt guilty about being pregnant again because of DD1 (and how precious she is!). Not the same but I really struggled. If they don't ask; tell them. It's their job to have you talk to someone

I've had this and it's horrible. Biggest thing for me was not bottling it up, talk to your friends and family. Speak to your midwife to be referred for help too as all the hormones make everything feel so helpless.
Just because you have this doesn't mean you will get pnd. But getting help now will reduce the chances.
Good luck 😊
