I got pregnant off of an IUD. I am engaged, but we did not plan on having kids for a long time. I feel alone and like I have no support system. Does anyone else feel depressed about their pregnancy?

My depression became so bad I've had to be put on Zoloft for it. And it's not even because of the pregnancy. I mean in a way I guess it is because a lot of things are going to change whether I want them to or not (I don't do well with change) I just hate that it was unplanned. I got pregnant when me and my bf were dating for only 4 months. We're still together but I wish it happened later down the road. But I wouldn't change it for anything because I love my baby and can't wait for him to be in my arms ❤
Thanks! My glad you guys are doing well even so far from home. I've been on anxiety meds for years but have had to stop them and I think that is making things worse. I agree about not being very religious but having some greater power out there making this happen
same girl. i didnt have an iud but i got pregnant a month after we go engaged and we had just moved 750 miles away from all my friends and family. all of his family was there but i had no one i went through a serious depression for about a month and it sucked my doctor tried prescribing me depression medicine but i turned it down. it gets better i promise we were not ready for a baby and im 32 weeks now and still think sometimes we arent ready but we are so blessed with out little girl im not a huge religious person but i do believe if god thought we werent ready he wouldnt have given us such an amazing gift. just try and stay positive and think you will have a mini version of the both of you here to do all the kid stuff you cant do anymore itll be awesome you guys will be fine.
Yes! It is very hard to accept especially when it seemed like an impossible idea. I feel like I am not the typical " I can't wait to be a mommy" pregnant woman. It almost makes you feel guilty to hate the position you are in.
I love my daughter but I'm feeling the same at the moment. We're pregnant because my birth control was recalled but by the time they recalled it it was too late. Didn't want kids for a very long time and still struggle to accept it at times.
@Jensensmom Were you on the Zoloft before you were pregant? Have you had any side affects from it? I think I'm going to switch onto whatever medication my doctor suggests tomorrow since I need to stop the medication I am currently on. I agree though, I'm more depressed about the changes coming more than anything. It feels like I am going to miss out on the best years of my life. I wish I had experianced more, as selfish as it sounds.
