I have been dealing with low mood for a long time even before this, and now that im 9 weeks i feel a bit calmer some days. Wondering if the hormones actually help with this or im just imagining it. Anyone felt their mood improve after conceiving?
Pregnancy hormones did calm me at times but also made me weepy. What helped most was talking openly and not bottling it up. Be kind to yourself, and please reach out to your doctor if it feels heavy.
Hormones can shift mood in either direction, so it's not a reliable treatment for depression. The safest route is to discuss this with both your gynac and your mental health doctor together. Please dont rely on pregnancy itself to fix it.
First, your feelings are completely valid, whatever you are going through. For some moods lift in pregnancy, for some they dip, it's very individual. Please dont stop or change any mental health treatment without talking to your doctor first.
