Depression During Pregnancy

It seems like more and more people are talking about post-partum depression, but depression during pregnancy isn’t commonly discussed. It is estimated that about 10% of pregnant women suffer from depression.

Of course, we all know that our hormones are raging during pregnancy and we, and those around us, may decide that our mood swings and weepiness may due to hormones. This may true, but never let serious “down” feelings go by without discussion. Talk to your partner or talk to your doctor and don’t let these things slide.

Risk Factors of Depression During Pregnancy:

- Family history of depression
- Previous miscarriage
- Fertility treatments
- Stressful events in your life

Symptoms of Possible Depression:

- Ongoing feelings of sadness
- Difficulty sleeping
- Constant exhaustion
- Not interested in things you were previously
- Thoughts of causing harm to yourself or to others

Again, the above symptoms can be a normal part of pregnancy, but if you’re feeling overwhelming sadness or helplessness, it could be an indication of something more serious.

To prevent depression or to treat mild depression:

- talk with your partner &/or doctor
- exercise regularly with your doctor’s guidance
- eat healthily
- relax as much as you can – get help from family or just let some daily tasks slide

Remember, your health and the health of your baby are the most important things right now.
