so I have been told I have depression when i was younger. never been put on medicine for it though as I don't want to have to rely on medicine to be okay. however, my depression the last two days has been horrible. I don't want to talk to anyone. my 18 month old I feel like a horrible mom too. idk why it's so bad right now. I don't know if it's because I'm mad at myself and my body because I have been having horrible contractions but won't dilate, if its cause I'm in so much pain and I just want my little girl here or what it is. but I honestly just feel like i want to lay down with my son who just fell asleep for a nap, I want to take a nap with him but never wake up. I hate feeling like this. I'm at the point where I just want to call the doctor and say look my depression is really bad, she has been measuring two weeks ahead, let's just do a c section so I can get her out and get medic or help with this depression
@momof2teacher, if you feel like your doctor's don't care, find a new one! my prayers are with you and I hope the best. and a side note, I was having contractions that weren't do8ng any good at 36 weeks till delivery. they weren't too bad but they actually make labor shorter and easier on your body. There's a name for it but I don't remember
I'm depressed too :( and only 15 weeks...I have no idea how I'm gonna make it another 25 wks and that really scares me to death. I've lost all excitement I had for this baby I'm over pregnancy I just want the baby here. ...but I'm scared of ppd after I deliver
@babes101116, I just feel like these doctors don't care. I mean I went to the hospital yesterday with the contractions two mins apart to be told I still wasn't dilating and the doctor wouldn't even come talk to me himself and I know they will just tell me that she will come when she is ready and not do anything about the depression or anything until after she comes. I'm tired of hearing she will come when she is ready like yes I know that I'm not stupid and I look at my son and have so much love for him that I would never do something stupid like try to take my own life or anything but this is just getting bad. I haven't been this bad in a very long time
Please talk to your doctor, there is no shame in asking for help
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
