Ante natal depression?!
Question: Ante natal depression?
In the house alone I cry, I struggle to get out of bed aomedays I spend the whole day in bed crying wishing my baby to have a proper family to be a part of, and honestly I've never told anybody but I sometimes think that when my baby's born my boyfriend can find someone nice and be a family with the baby if I'm not here anymore. I feel awful because I know should be happy but I can't seem to pull myself together and get on with it because I don't feel good enough. I'm too embarrassed to tell people o don't feel like it's normal, my boyfriend tells me to stop being silly and I'll be a good mum, but I just don't feel like this is a normal way to feel, I don't sleep well an feel very lonely throughout the day, I have nightmares most nights and practically cling to my boyfriend when he gets in from work which I know isn't fair on him, I'm due on Sunday and I don't feel like I'm ready at all, I feel so guilty, when I'm out in public Alone I'm petrified for stupid reasons, like what if I have a panic attack (i used to get them before I was pregnant) what if I go into labor what if I get run over?
I panic all day and my boYfriend tells me not to be silly but I don't feel right? Could it be depression or am I just going mad?

I'm not a doctor but struggling to get out of bed, spending the whole day crying and feeling you're not good enough makes me think you have depression. Go to your doctor, you don't need to suffer like this.
go to the dr post natal and pre natal depression are both common and can both be treated
no mum feels ready for when the baby gets here
please see your dr asap and when u go into labour tell the nurse/midwife that you are quite anxious they will take are of You
u will make a good mum dont worry about that
no one here can diagnose you but it does sound like depression
look on parentline.plus.org
