I am eight months pregnant with my second baby Im unmotiveated and feel sad all the time could this be depress

I have a 19 month old daughter that keeps me going all the time but lately Ive been feeling like this is all my life is, I cant even remember the things I really enjoyed or what kind of person I was. This is so embarressing but most days I dont even get out of my pyjamas. I cry alot more and get frustrated alot easier. I feel overwelmed like life is happening to me other then feeling like Im doing the my very best to have a good life if that makes sence but the point is I really dont feel good about myself anymore and this is way out of character for me, my motto was " If your gonna do something you do it right". My question is could this be depression, or just hormones? Thank you for takin the time to read this.

Answer:
I'm sure most women at this late stage of pregnancy feel unmotivated- what you have written in your question sounds very much like how i was at the same stage. i have 16.5 mths between my children and my youngest is now 7mths. please speak to your partner/ family and friends and tell them how you are feeling as things will be even more overwhelming (and frustrating) when your baby arrives and you will need their support. hormones can do funny things to your state of mind you could have depression ,but you certainly sound like you need to "talk" to someone in person.
Hi there I really think you need to take a trip to your doctor. I am sure you are suffering from ante-natal depression and this can be treated. Good luck hon. xxx
Your hormones could be causing the depression. Talk to your doc, or maybe there's some activities you could do to lighten up your mood!
Lordy, just about anyone would be depressed heavy with pregnancy and trying to keep up with a child under 2. Part of it is hormones, and part just plain old fatigue and stress. After the birth of this baby, make sure you schedule time in your week just for yourself. You need some pampering and some adult company too.
I have an 8 year old and a 6 month old. I felt really depressed during my pregnancy and after. When my 2nd child was born all I could think of was I will never be able to do this. My husband did everything for the first day until I just made myself help. Parenting an infant is hard work, and having 2 young children is going to be exhausting work. I was depressed because after having an 8 year old I am past the hard work, now it is just fun and a little discipline sometimes. Having a baby changes everything, it gets easier. I did not get help for my depression and never talked to anyone about it. Get help if you need to and ask for help with the children. I am a stay at home mom with no family within 1000 miles, but I had a friend who would watch her for an hour or two. I would get things done that were overwhelming me, like laundry, or the dishes. It really helps. Good Luck and get help if neccessary.
It sounds like your are depressed. Can someone come in and help you until after the baby is born? That could help you. Also, sleep when you can and focus on what your family will be like after the baby is born.
You could also talk to your OBGYN at your next appointment.
Good luck!
Hello; I feel for you. Been there and have done that. I know that does not help to say, that what your feeling is "NORMAL".
It is normal to feel depression; and yes you can take certain anti-depressants to elevate some of those symptoms. Next thing is to remember right now in your body the hormone levels are astronomical.
Last year my daughter in law was giving us our first grandchild and her OBGYN gave her anti-depressants to take while pregnate, and it helped oh so much. Some experience saddness, crying all the time, and some ladies are just down right evil --- all of this really cannot be helped because that is what you feel. Just stay true to your emotions. Remember this is a temporary thing. You will not be pregnate for-ever. But also don't get into the rut of haveing a Pity Party for one. Make yourself feel better by just doing some simple things - just for you. Do something that will ease your stress level, and something you enjoy. Try taking a bubble bath, light a few candles and relax while your 19 month old takes a nap. Try a few feel good fixes for you. Give your self a facial, while relaxing in the tub, light a few candles etc. Something that will make you feel better about you. Just for you. Get your husband involved, for this time if it is not convient to do during nap time, or a friend. Just to give yourself an hour to close your mind to everything but just you. Take time for yourself and you will be surprised at how much you will start to feel better about you, and before you know it everyone will notice it too.
It's just my opinion, after having 8 miscarraiges, 1 tubal pregnancy, then later to go on and have 2 live births, raising a step-son, his girlfriend / my daughter - in - law and going through pregancy with her last year, now my husband and I are helping to raising our one year old grand son, and so that makes 5 children in my home at the moment. I have been there.
I really hope you can find something that makes you feel better about yourself, it is so important to your wellbeing, and your mental outlook about yourself. You deserve that. Your job raising children is not easy, and there are no simple or right or wrong answers, just find what is right for you.
or you should have sex every day until you bleed uncontrollably and the you shal stab yourself and rub yourself with steak
and then the most important thing is to stick chicked bones up your vagina
