Have any of you ever experienced depression and anxiety with pregnancy? It came on right at the beginning of the pregnancy.. like around 4 - 5 weeks and it's just been this intense anxiety which is making me depressed. I rarely feel truly happy or relaxed and at this point I just want to feel comfortable. I'm not sure what to do about it.. obviously I need to talk to my doctor about it, but I don't know how safe it is to be on antidepressants during pregnancy. It just sucks.. I just want to be happy!

Talk to your doctor. There are meds that are safe during pregnancy.

Ask your Dr about anti-anxiety meds that are safe. You don't want an anti-depressant, as it can cause more anxiety! Happened to me about 6 months ago  |

I haven't dealt with this but my step sister is right now. There are safe meds you can be on during pregnancy.

Ditto the ladies above!
Hang in there, Samantha. I think this happens more often than we realize. Between pregnancy hormones and the natural anxiety that comes from bringing a new life into this world, it can be a very stressful time!
