Pregnancy And Depression - How To Guard Mothers Against Depression During Pregnancy
Pregnancy and depression are closely linked to one another. Depression during pregnancy is difficult to avoid due to various hormonal and other changes taking place in a woman?s body. Depression can be dangerous to the health of both the fetus and the mother. Pregnancy marks a time when women tend to undergo extreme highs and lows of emotion. The emotions of pregnant women tend to be highly varying, moving from the feelings of extreme elation to that of depression. Keeping the negative effects of the depression during pregnancy in mind, medical professionals alert expecting mothers from being gripped by depression.
What Causes Depression During Pregnancy?
The medical experts have been closely studying the relation between pregnancy and depression and how to keep pregnant women at safe distance from worries, anxieties, negative feelings etc. Becoming pregnant gives rise to a variety of feelings, but there are also those hormonal changes, which are inevitable during pregnancy. These hormonal changes result in drastic mood swings from happiness to the extreme grief to anger. Medications and several birth control pills taken prior to pregnancy interfere with ovulation and tend to generate bio-chemic alterations in a women?s body, thereby contributing to increased levels of depression during pregnancy. Most women find strive to find ways in which depression can be eradicated during pregnancy.
Depression in pregnancy results from the hormonal secretion in the mother?s body which is required to support the development of baby. There are several external factors which lead pregnant women to feel depressed. other These factors can be the levels of stress arising from health matters, finances required to support the pregnancy treatment and the baby after delivery, other kids, relationship with the spouse and other family members, previous experience of infertility etc. The symptoms of depression during pregnancy is marked by an frequently feeling low, helpless, neglected and insecure about how her loved ones feel about her. Women tend to be tearful, short tempered and feel irritated. Expecting mothers are found to travel between highs and lows of moods and their energy levels are directed in response to the changes in mood. Women in pregnancy and depression can also feel extremely restless and feel like hurting their babies, even themselves. Risks of suicides also happen to increase among women during this phase.
Medications Helpful To Reduce Depression During Pregnancy
There are several drugs are available to reduce the chances of being caught by depression during pregnancy. There are anti-depressant drugs such as Valium, Xanax, Prozac, and similar drugs of the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) family of drugs that can be taken before pregnancy to avoid depression. These medications are known to influence the neurotransmitters of the brain and change some particular signals.
These drugs have been shown to lead patient?s brain to function in different manner to oppose depression and affect mood changes. There are negative side effects of these drugs that are perceived through adverse effect on the growth of fetus in terms of breathing problems, malformation of cardiac organs and many more. Therefore, look for natural remedies through proper nutrition and meditation, and take adequate rests to weaken the connection between your pregnancy and depression.
Pregnancy is the means of joy for most of the women, but at times pregnancy and depression becomes synonym for some new moms. The pressure of the new responsibility, effect of changes in the body and the restricted freedom is the reason for this pregnancy problems. You should not worry much about this temporary phase, as the attraction of your newborn baby will wipe of all the fears and stress. Visit Pregnancy Period for more information.

answers below on pregnancy and depression helpful.
I really tend to like books about teens facing addictions, pregnancy, and depression. Some of the books I've already read are;; Go Ask Alice Crank Glass It Happened to Nancy Annie's Baby Too Soon for Jeff Baby Help I am seventeen and a pretty avid reader... I've read To Kill a Mockingbird, Wow, I've read a lot of these books.
I just can't stand it though. I know it's the pre-baby blues. I've been on bed rest for about a month now and I can't stand it. The only time I get real human contact is online, where I end up babbling like an idiot, or when my husband comes home. He comes home around 7pm and then we're off to bed at around 11p. I spend 4 hours with him, and then I'm back on the internet in the morning. I'm not supposed to go on walks or anything, so I'm very limited. On the weekends he does odd jobs to help us make ends meet. I try to call friends and family, but since I've become pregnant, it seems they're "too busy to talk". I'm just stuck behind a computer or a book for 10 hours until my husband comes home... or I get a phone call. Then I feel like a puppy b/c I want to know every thing about the person's day... even right down to what they had for lunch! I'd love to go out and just... get out! But I'm not supposed to go anywhere without my hubby b/c I've been having dizzy spells, and almost have blacked out while walking for short times. Needless to say I fight "people of questionable disability" over the scooters at grocery stores. I am almost to the point of begging to go back to work, or begging to be induced. We thought about getting a pet, but after the baby comes, it would just end up being a giant nuisance. I just don't know what to do. :P Well, I'd like to get some exercise, but I can't walk more than 50 feet without almost passing out. I can't take antidepressants b/c i plan to bf, that and I don't get along with them very well. Everyone I have called or emailed that I know never gets back to me either. So I'm stuck in a rut I guess.
In my family we have a history of chronic depression, When i was younger i had to take zoloft but i didnt like taking meds and took therapy into my own hands.. I can deal with my problems now, and i havent taken any medicine for years now, No problems.. My question is.. Does my history make me more of a higher risk of getting postpartum deppression? I heard sometimes it can get bad if untreated. Or am i just as risk as everyone else? I was just wondering because my husband says he is worried about it, im just trying to ease our minds if possible.
I know it's normal to feel more emotional during pregnancy, and this has been an emotional week for everyone (with the VT shootings and all), but I have been crying on and off for days. I want to cry all the time. Is this normal, or should I start to worry about depression?
I am usually very happy and optimistic. When I get into a problem, usually I dwell for a moment,vent, and balance myself out. It doesn't tend to linger for as long as it seems to now. I am 16 weeks pregnant and feel lonely and despair often. I know the changing hormone levels lead to changes in mood and emotion, but I am beginning to wonder if it's possible that I have slight depression. I just feel like internally I am going crazy--as if I am being emotionally stretched. So many of the symptoms of pregnancy and depression overlap, so I am really confused. I don't have thoughts of harming the baby or myself. I just feel so many emotions so much more strongly and accompanied by so many more. The feeling of despair is new to me. I am usually very motivated, but I am have little motivation to work or even go out. I can't tell if this is pregnancy fatigue or something else. Depression does not run in my family. Anyone with any relevant experience or info please comment.
Are there any mom's or mom's to be who suffered/are suffering through depression during their pregnancy? I am 8 weeks with my 3rd child and I am depressed. It takes all I can to clean up around the house to make it look decent (I am typically a neat freak), it takes all the energy I have to brush my teeth/shower...to do anything really, I feel sick and tired all the time. I'm going to talk to my ob about it this week at my appointment, but I just wondered if anyone else went through this and can offer me some advice. Thanks
I am 34 weeks pregnant. I have been put on bed rest. i am very sad because all my family is in another town. the family here doesn't even call to check on me. the babies dad is not helping at all. i am feeling very sad and hopeless. Any suggestions to left the sadness. please no one be mean in the response
My sister-in-law is pregnant with her first child. She suffers from depression and bipolar disorder. She was on medication for both but since she found out she was expecting she stopped the medication cold turkey without asking her doctor. I'm concerned about her health and the baby's because she has her ups and downs. And recently she has been feeling very depressed. I know it's because of all of the hormone changes and on top of that she has these two disorders. My question is: Has anyone out there had problems like this and been pregnant? Did your doctor give you anything to help the depression while you were pregnant? Are you allowed to take any of those medications? How did you cope? I have 3 children and I know I was told my my OB not to take any meds except tylenol. I didn't like taking anything at all. BUt in extreme cases do doctors make an exception?? If so, will it harm the baby? I am pretty close to my sister-in-law so I try to support her and talk to her a lot and encourage her but there's only so much family can do. FYI: the father of the baby is not in the picture at all. Thanks in advance.
For about 3 years now, I have on the anti-depressant Lexapro. When I become pregnant, [which we're hoping for soon!] obviously I cannot take the medication anymore, so I was wondering if the depression stays the same, or gets better or worse? If it is worse or the same, what do they use as treatment? Has anyone been through something similar? I know that I can't continue the Lexapro for now- I dont plan to.
I am 33 weeks pregnant and I am afraid that I might become depressed. I know right now everything is circumstanial. My grandma died on easter, my dad had a stroke last week, I got declined from grad school and my husband's dog died. Also, my mom didnt want me traveling 800 miles to go to my grandmas funeral so she didnt tell me when it was and I missed it. All in one week. I have been very sad for the past week. My husband work 65 + hours a week so it is hard for me to cope sometimes. I have been feeling very low and depressed for the past 4 days. I have had issues with depression in the past, but I had learned how to cope with it and I was taken off of medication about 3 years ago. I have been crying non stop for 3 days now, and I really want to stop crying. Should I call my ob and tell her? Or is it too soon and should I just let myself heal?
i really feel like i am depressed, i know that pregnancy and depression go hand in hand. . im not suicidal or anything im just completely unhappy, i cant think of one positive thing, honestly. do i have to see a doctor or can i manage this myself? i really feel like a doctor would just tell me how i feel and how i am supposed to feel. i dont want someone dictating that to me. any suggestions?
Hi all, I just wondering if you could give me your opinions on what these symptoms may or may not mean. I have searched them in google and the majority of links show side effects of medication which I am not on. It also mentioned pregnancy and depression. I'm 20 years, female, with a 7 months old daughter and lately have been eating almost anything in sight, gained 2kgs in the last 4 days, become extremely tired at the end of the day and have had a few mood swings - which usually ended up with me crying at a sad tv show or some thing ridiculous. My partner has noticed the change in me too. Just wanted to know if I could get any ideas from any one?? Thanks in advance! Also, last month I was 2 days late for my period so took a home pregnancy test which was positive but the line was very faint. After I finished, I took another test - following the advice of my partner and a friend and it was also positive but again, very faint...
So I'm 36 weeks pregnant and recently I've been feeling extremely depressed. For some reason I've started feeling really ugly and really fat and it's really affecting me. I'm crying all the time and I know it sounds so vain but it really hurts me. I feel sad constantly and my husband doesn't help the matter at all. I always see him looking at other women and it really hurts me because he makes me feel uglier and fatter all the time. If I'm having this depression now what are the chances that I will likely get post partum depression? Do any of you other pregnant women feel this way?
I am 35 and work a full time job. I have 2 kids and I am pregnant at 18 weeks with my 3rd child. I just got married and not two weeks later I found out I was expecting. I was pretty sick with evening morning sickness, headaches that made me very tired. I work my butt off at work running a motel and I have the weekends off. Usually one day of the weekend I lay around and watch TV and take a nap. My husband and My sister and mother are calling me lazy and it is making me really depressed. I feel like such a failure that I just don't jump out of the bed on the weekends wanting to take on the world. Now, I am mad at all of them and can't stop crying about how I have been made to feel. Am I over reacting?
I am 36 wks pregnant and I have 2 kids. I am a stay at home mom at the moment and I think I am sinking into some sort of depression. My husband is as awesome as ever yet here lately I just get mad at him and start crying for no particular reason. I just don't know what to do or if anyone has ever experienced this before. Any answers would be appreciated. And no I have not ever had a "mental illness" before. This is all brand new to me.
