I've been feeling very low and constantly sad since my pregnancy started. It's affecting my daily life. I want to know how others cope with these feelings during pregnancy.
Having two kids taught me that mental health is just as important as physical health. If you are feeling depressed, do not wait for it to go away on its own. Book an appointment with a professional psychologist immediately and let your gynac know.
I experienced severe mood drops and anxiety during my second trimester. For me, talking to a therapist online and sharing it with my husband helped lift the weight off. I won't give medical advice, but seeking professional support made a world of difference for me.
Because of my PCOS struggle, my hormones were already messy and pregnancy made me feel very depressed. I didn't try to handle it alone because it's a medical condition. Please share your feelings with your gynac, they can safely guide you on what to do.
Beta, pregnancy hormones can make your mind very heavy. Try to do some light breathing exercises and listen to peaceful music, but please do not ignore this. Tell your doctor openly so they can guide you properly, mental health is very important.
I am planning my pregnancy and honestly, mental health is my biggest worry. It's so reassuring to see people talking about this openly. How do we find doctors who are sensitive to prenatal depression?
When I was feeling extremely low during my pregnancy, I directly spoke to the counselor at my hospital. Premium setups usually have in-house therapists who specialize in maternal mental health. Please ask your hospital staff clearly about support groups or counselors, they can really help.
My family told me to just pray and stay positive, but I knew I needed professional help. I spoke to my doctor, and she was so understanding and guided me to a therapist. Please don't suffer in silence, talking to a doctor is the best step.
