I didn't feel depressed when I was pregnant. I was actually happy...

One piece of parenting advice though regarding depression and pregnancy. There's this study which found that fetuses develop faster when the mom's disposition was consistent throughout pregnancy and after (meaning either happy or depressed all the way).

  ako din mga mommies, super depressed ako ngayon.. 20 weeks na ako.

its been two and a half months na since nilayasan ko si partner (nasa Zamboanga ako ngayon and he's in manila), upto now, di pa ako ready na bumalik ulit sa house namin.. binigyan ko sya ng conditions, though minsan nagccomunicate kami.

1st makahanap na sya ng work, isantabi na muna niya ang pagiging artist-artist niya (check)
2nd get help from a psychiatrist (inamin naman niya na bipolar siya and may mga anger and alcohol issues) (x)
3rd maintenance (meds niya re:condition #2) (x)

May ganito pala. Minsan kasi bigla na lang akong nadedepress for no reason at all. Sinasabi ko sa sarili ko 'wag ako padala, hormones lang. Kaya lang minsan ang hirap din eh. Nakakagulat lang kasi okay ako tapos maya-maya ayan umiiyak na.

humanap ang kapatid ko ng psychiatrist para sakin.. i took medication gals.. for those who are searching for a good doctor sa Sunrise hill po ako nagpatingin.. maganda dun kaso may kamahalan talaga ang professional fee hehe.. i'm doing good now gals and running errands parin for my 6 month old baby girl Sab advice for those who are depressed, isa lang pala katapat lahat ng pagaalala, mag dasal, matulog, at kumain ng tama.. totoo un.. pag lipas ka sa tulog at kain dun na dedevelop yung anxieties and depression.

Ako din nung preggy ako, akala ko nababaliw din ako.  Lagi akong umiiyak, nalulungkot, nagagalit...nawala lahat ng patience ko    Yun pala hormones lang yon.  Andami dami kong iniisip at marami akong fears and worries.  When I look back sa mga nangyari, until now napapa kamot ako ng ulo at napapatonong, bakit nga ba ako sobrang init ng ulo noon?  Ngayon alam ko na kung bakit    hehe, kaya I'm so thankful for this website kasi ngayon ko na naunderstand lahat ng nangyari sa akin.  Thanks SP!

Hi mga mommies.. I feel so depressed. I really dont like this feeling.. I feel ugly, I feel fat....  my husband recently enrolled in gym, nagppalaki sya ng katawan.. madalas din syamagpraktis ng magbasketball during his off or after duty. Sana totoo Lang, I should be happy for him, kasi health concious sya, pero naiinsicure ako... naiinis ako pag pupunta sya gym or praktis ng bb... feeling ko tuloy npka selfish ko... I feel sad pg ngssend sya ng pictures niya na may improvements while ako getting bigger and fat.... im so sad...

during my pregnancy mommies, i felt the same way actually until now there are times na nasasad ako.
pero before, ang moody ko talaga nung buntis pa ko. biglang iiyak, malungkot, naiinis, every emotion talaga.

pregnant women talaga are emotional daw, pero siguro nakadagdag sa lungkot is yung im a single parent nga.
the guy left me when he found out that im pregnant. super sad.

[AnJelatine]

Nung preggers pa ako (pati ngayon postpartum), everytime na nalulungkot ako, iniiyak ko lang tapos mga after 30 minutes, back to normal. Haha!

[MommyniAddie]

Blame it to the hormones mga sis...normal lang naman na madepress pero wag lagi...dapat happy ang outlook ng mga preggers para dala nyo on D-Day ..take it from me...stay happy and be safe mga moms to be...

Hi! may alam ba kayo na psychiatrist / psychotherapist for pregnant women? I really need it ASAP, I joined SP baka kasi may alam kayo.. please.

^ you can ask your OB to recommend one. Most likely same hospital din yung clinic nung ire-recommend niyang Psychiatrist. I think it's a good move to see one para you would know the source, how to cope and understand yourself better. Tips and infos from reads can help but not totally.
