I can't stop crying ..

[Tillismama]

I'm only 8 weeks pregnant but for the last few weeks all I have done is cry.
I don't have the patience I used to have with my daughter .. I'm finding everyday things so difficult and the thought of another finiancial burden (can't think of another way to explain it) .. is doing my head in.
I feel like I have no one to talk to .. I don't want answers I just want to vent and have someone to listen to me.
Depression runs in my family and i've been on and off anti depressants for the past 8 years .. I've now been off them for nearly 8 months and I wondered if I could be suffering from pre natal depression??

Firstlyto you!!!!!!!
Congratulations on your pregnancy (even if you don't feel like that at the moment) Being pregnant really deserves a medal or something what our bodies go through and don't always recover from!!!!!! I can't say I understand PND but all I can say is take one day at a time!!!!!! Do you have good GP or health nurse that you can talk to for support just let me know if you ever just want to talk. All the best to you

to you

Pregnancy is such a difficult emotional time for some anyway. Having additional stress due to financial concerns makes it even more so.

I did have pre-natal depression, which was almost debilitating (though wasnt actually diagnosed as I didnt understand that such a thing existed).

All I can suggest is to take each day at a time. It does get better ...... after 18 - 20 weeks your hormones should start to settle and your depression will also get better. Always remember - your first pregnancy is not always a good comparison ..... all pregnancies are different and affect your body differently, and also - you are a different person to what you were then.

Good luck and I hope things improve for you soon
