Depression During Pregnancy

It seems like more and more people are talking about post-partum
depression, but depression during pregnancy isn't commonly
discussed. It is estimated that about 10% of pregnant women
suffer from depression.
Of course, we all know that our hormones are raging during
pregnancy and we, and those around us, may decide that our mood
swings and weepiness may due to hormones. This may true, but
never let serious "down" feelings go by without discussion. Talk
to your partner or talk to your doctor and don't let these
things slide.

Family history of depression
- Previous miscarriage
- Fertility treatments
- Stressful events in your life
Symptoms of Possible Depression:
- Ongoing feelings of sadness
- Difficulty sleeping
- Constant exhaustion
- Not interested in things you were previously
- Thoughts of causing harm to yourself or to others
Again, the above symptoms can be a normal part of pregnancy,
but if you're feeling overwhelming sadness or helplessness, it
could be an indication of something more serious.
