Prenatal anxiety and depression

This is my first baby and much wanted after ivf. I’m suffering badly with prenatal anxiety and depression. I have a history of anxiety and it’s so bad everyday. I don’t feel like myself until the evening. I’m struggling to focus at work or get on with daily life. It’s causing depression too and making me cry. Anyone else?

I’m sorry, I’ve felt the same way throughout, although it’s getting a bit better now because I’m 36.5 weeks and know it’s almost over. Just remember it doesn’t last forever. And hopefully you won’t have physical symptoms. Mine were really not bad so I try to tell myself “at least” the pain isn’t physical too. Sending good thoughts ❤️

Me too. I’m so sorry.

Mine just started a couple weeks ago, I'm 37 weeks now. Also have a history with anxiety/ depression. This is my first baby after 1 miscarriage and over a decade or trying naturally, drs telling me I couldn't get pregnant and losing an ovary. It's all I ever wanted, it's been my goal for years and yet I'm just so depressed I can't get out of bed or stop crying when I should be happy and nesting
