I struggled with depression before the pregnancy, but always kept it in check without medication or therapy. However, I'm about 16 weeks pregnant and it is truly taking over my life. I'm so worried about the negative impact it can have on my son that I'm thinking about seeking therapy and possibly low doses of medication. My mom had very bad PPD and with the way I feel now I can only imagine how bad it will be later. Any advice or ways that you have overcome depression while pregnant?

Depression is a bad thing to have along with PPD you don’t want it to turn into something more , I had depression and went into PPD once my son was born and it was the worse, the feeling on not being able to bond with you’re baby is the worse, you want to talk to your doctor so they can give you helpful tools so it don’t get worse .. sometimes taking walks help, reading, or what helped me was a lot of prayer .. your hormones are going to be releasing a lot of different chemicals so talk to your doctor or therapy , I did both I just never chose to take medication .. and by the grace of god I recovered from PPD almost a year after I had my son .. you will be fine we are all here for support ❤️
