I am becoming someone I don't recognize. I think I have been depressed, but I am also VERY cranky lately as well. I am usually very social and generally happy. But since getting pg, I have not wanted to be social, and been so moody. I feel like I am having serious pms that is not going to end any time soon. Then last week I was having a bit of paranoia. I was very tired and to the point of falling asleep, but not deep yet. My dh was packing for his trip, and every time he would enter the room, I thought he was going to kill me. I knew it was irrational, so I just ignored it, but several times I jumped thinking I was going to be murdered. I let myself go to sleep, and haven't had that problem again, but I think if things don't start to feel better w/me soon I will have to talk to my dr about depression in pg. I haven't ever had postpartum or severe depression before so I don't know if I am just hormonal or tired or what. What do you think?

Didn't want to read and run...I dont know but maybe you should see your doctor and voice your feelings to him. He will be able to give you a clearer idea of whats going on....I just wanted to give you this xxx

It could just be pregnancy hormones but it could also be depression. Best to talk to your doctor about it

I agree with the other wonderful ladies. Do talk to your doctor about it, hon!

You sound a bit anxious so I'd talk to someone aout it sweetie - Dr or a friend. You might feel better for just talking it over.

I agree, you should probably mention it to one of your carers. Hope it's just a hormonal phase and goes away soon.

i don't really know hun but didn't want to run. I would go to the drs before it gets any worse. If u feel comfortable talk to your husband about it to, or mum? someone you trust and will support you.

Defineatly take to your doctor or MW. It never hurt to talk about your feeling to someone you trust too. Depression is common during pregnancy but never take it lightly. I hope you feel better soon.

I am having a similar problem during this (3rd) pregnancy. First off I have always been over sensitive and paranoid. In particular at the moment I have 2 issues, 1st is that something bad is going to happen to my kids and the 2nd is that the house is being broken into while we are all asleep. It only happens at night when I am laying there waiting to go to sleep, I know it is irrational so I make myself think about other stuff. Like lists of stuff I need to do the next day, planning the week ahead that sort of thing. Normally I am asleep quickly after that!

I am also experiency some sort of depression like sysmptoms. Very hormonal, you know crying at stupid tv adverts even if they aren't sad! I was driving along in the car the other day and a song came on that made me cry. I have spoken to my midwife who actually wasn't that helpful. She advised me to see my GP and said to ask for anti depressants that are safe in pregnancy. I refuse to take tablets for the sake of it any time let alone when I am pregnant. I figured there must be a logical reason for feeling this way and I find talking about how I feel to people close to me helps. Plus if it carries on after pregnancy I will deal with it then. I am thinking it is a mix of being tired, hormonal, very busy and rather stressed at the moment. Strangely that sunny spell we have just had really perked me up, now though I am grumpy and tearful again.
