Battling depression

I am 18 weeks pregnant but lately, I have been feeling stressed, burnt out and emotional. I cry at the drop of a hat. I feel really alone and could do with any advice.#firstmom

Hi, have you talked with your partner or family and close friends about this? You can sit down and have a good chat, and see where your partner can help make you feel better. Any idea what you are stressed about? The anxiety of the well being of baby? Taking care of baby after delivering? Symptoms of pregnancy ((e.g. Continued nausea, or pains like pelvis girdle pain?)? Frustration at being unable to sleep well?

Yes, I agree. sit down with your partner or someone you're comfortable with to let out. Cry it out if it does make you feel better after. Go for a walk, shop, sleep more. Sometimes, when you're tired, the more you feel.

Pregnancy can be very overwhelming, with the hormones running all over the place. Maybe you can consider joining mommy chats? Try feb2025 edd mommies! You can find them on fb that links to WhatsApp.. hang in there!
