Improved mental health during pregnancy

[overthinkersanonnymus]

Hi,

This is my first post 👋🏻

I just wanted to get some people's experiences of their mental health during pregnancy, particularly people with a mental health condition prior to getting pregnant . I know a lot of peoples mental health plummets and even more so after the birth but has anyone found they handled it a lot better than expected or was actually quite a lot better?

A friend of a friend apparently was so much more stable when she was pregnant (ocd & anxiety beforehand) I have a panic disorder so I'm hoping this is the case for me too!

I have depression, anxiety and awaiting autism diagnosis. My mental health has not improved, unfortunately. Maybe I have days when I'm better but also some where I'm worse. So many hormones make it difficult I think. I hope your mental health improves through your pregnancy 😊
