I always thought the low feeling comes after delivery but im second trimester now and just feel sad and empty most days for no reason. Everyone keeps saying its hormones but it feels heavier than that. Has anyone else gone through this while still pregnant?
Yes it absolutely can, and your feelings are valid. Everyone talks about glowing pregnancy but i cried a lot and felt low for no reason. Please talk to someone, ur doctor, ur partner. Its not weakness at all.
It can happen, dont be hard on urself. Some days i just prayed and talked to my mom and it lightened a bit. But if the heaviness stays for days, please reach out to a doctor, dont carry it alone.
Sending u a hug. I went through low phases too and just knowing it was normal helped me breathe. Be gentle with urself and lean on the people around u.
My gynac told me antenatal depression is real and more common than people admit, its the hormones plus all the changes. She said dont hesitate to ask for help, counselling helps and is totally safe in pregnancy. So yes, take it seriously.
I totally understand this. It hit me during pregnancy and got worse after. The best thing i did was speak up instead of pretending i was fine. You are not alone in this yaar.
Very real, and nothing to be ashamed of. Try to rest, eat, talk daily to someone u trust. But if it feels constant or u feel hopeless, that is a clear sign to call ur doctor. Help is there, please use it.
