I was emotional pretty much the entire pregnancy. it's my first baby, first trim I had very bad nausea and felt like my husband was not caring enough, second trim I was not sure where to start in prepping for baby's arrival and was feeling overwhelmed, final trim I was anxious about baby arriving and dread being away from work for so long during maternity. I was crying at the slightest thing like a sad movie scene and minor arguments with my husband as there was just so much on my mind. However, I didn't have any suicidal or self harming thoughts so I did not see the need to seek any treatment, I guess it was just the preggy raging hormones. Hope you are feeling ok and hang in there! It will be all worth it when you see your little bundle of joy 😊 Try to talk to mummy friends too (positive ones), it helps. If u do feel very dark then there's no harm seeking treatment too.
