Prenatal depression is form of depression arises during at any point in pregnancy.  The symptom of prenatal depression can range from mild to severe. Somtimes in rare case the symptoms are severe enough that it can affect the health of the mother and baby. 

Postpartum depression is aso a type of depression that occurs after the birth of a child. 

There are major between prenatal & postpartum depression and the “baby blues.” Within two to three weeks, the “baby blues” normally pass. Prenatal and postpartum depression, on the other hand, do not go away without treatment.

You would think because I planned this pregnancy, I would be happy. I am. I just can’t control my #depression. Right now... I started my #therapysession in August 2020. It was hard just finding the right therapist. But after shuffling through 3 different ones, I found one who I can talk to, a therapist who’s engaging, but also holding me accountable, challenging me to be better, helping me understand my condition but most importantly pinpointing key indicators to help me understand why I feel the way that I feel. I now see both a therapist and a psychiatrist and boy did that feel good to tell y’all that yes! I’m seeing a mental health dr because I need to figure out a way to channel these emotions. Especially with #Covid I see both my psychiatrist and therapist 2x a week and let me just tell y’all this shit helps man. Many of you don’t know but I lost a huge part of me earlier this year, and truthfully speaking I still haven’t really gotten pass it. I think I do a lot of ignoring. And living my day in and day out just not having to face the fact that the man I called father is no longer around. As I’m typing this I’m having a really hard time so I will stop here. I just want y’all to know that finding the right therapist or psychiatrist is no different than finding a guy you like to date. If you get lucky you may find your match the first go around. I challenge you to challenge your #therapist with questions to make sure they are good for you. The goal is to get out of seeing a therapist and a #psychiatrist so there’s should be actionable steps on how you can improve during each session. Just because you prayed for something, planned for something and things actually go your way but for whatever reason you don’t get this joy of relief, please don’t beat yourself up. It’s so much deeper than that. There’s a whole #mental battle you’re dealing with that you may not even know you’re going through... #Therapy #UnorthodoxTherapy #wellnessjourney #wellnesswednesday #wellnessthatworks #wellnesstherapy #wellness #Prenatal #PrenatalDepression #plannedpregnancy #postpartumdepression #postpartumjourney #pregnancy #pregnancydepressionisreal #pregnant (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHcRNlbATzD/?igshid=102ntabuvezot

The light at the end is almost visible.

I am hurting and I am tired. I wish I could express things better, it may help. But this relentless uphill battle is almost at the peak. I can see the finish line. And oh how worth it it'll be.

I'm excited about meeting my baby girl soon but also just.. can't wait for the ability to rely on myself again. I honestly hate how helpless I've felt and I'm tired of being let down or forced to be around those who make me feel worse because.. I just don't have any options. I can wait to stand up and take care of my shit and care for my babe and I. And to make my life what I need it to be again. And to close doors from toxic people and just generally stand up and fight for myself and my family. Be a good mom. To feel better. To feel like a person. With value.

We're almost there.

Week 18- Chocolate, the blues and complete madness

Size of baby – Artichoke

I am starting to wonder if there is a dangerous limit of the amount of chocolate you can consume daily. I’m currently eating a big bar per day; it’s become like a necessity. But it’s all about balance though, right? So the fact that I went for a run this morning makes the big bar of chocolate that I demolished as soon as I got through the door totally ok. I’ll keep telling myself that.

Looking back to the early weeks, before I started writing this blog, I think I was experiencing a bit of prenatal depression. I’ve been feeling a million times better as of late (probably something to do with all the serotonin from the chocolate!) But it is something I want to talk about because it’s important for expectant mums to know that it’s normal and nothing to be ashamed about. The initial shock of finding out I was pregnant, coincided with not knowing who the father was, telling my family, their reactions and constant worrying about how I was going to deal with all of this lead to feeling really down. I lost my appetite and just wanted to stay in bed all the time. I felt guilty for feeling this way because I was having a baby, I should be happy right? Most cases of prenatal depression go undiagnosed because of the women’s fear that it’s wrong to experience negative feelings during pregnancy. But it really is ok to feel like this. After I came to terms with this, and accepted how I felt, things around me started to get better. I felt relieved, less uptight and more accepted. When the physical triggers lifted and I stopped feeling sick and tired I felt even better too now things are going well. I feel more confident in myself, supported by my loved ones, more organised with finances etc, more motivated to work on new projects and I’m experiencing new exciting relationships unfold.

I have a question. Is 6 weeks old, too early for baby’s first music festival? The Thing is, Madness are headlining Victorious Festival this August and baby Daddy loves Madness, in fact, baby was probably conceived to Baggy Trousers. (TMI) So, I might as well take baby to Madness concert so it can reminisce back to the days of being a sperm.

Also, Good music taste is very near the top of the ‘important things mum wants for child’ list. So….I’d like to go but who knows, fast forward to August I will probably be doing front crawl through a pile of sicky washing with baby attached to boob in my new house (in the middle of the street).

Moms dealing with mental illness struggles!

Hey so I know I have quite a few followers on here. I have only talked to a small percentage of you all and I'm pretty sure none I've actually "mixed" into other media. But tonight I decided to start a fb support group(something I've been meaning to do for a while!) specifically for moms dealing with mental health struggles. It's called "Motherhood and Mental Health- Support for pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond" it's pretty self explanatory in the name but yeah, mostly for those dealing with prenatal/antenatal depression, PPD, child loss, etc. to find support, friends, and hopefully resources regarding mental health once I get them compiled into files and pinned to the group. It's designed to be a safe space, no judgement and kindness centered. I wanted to share this for anyone who needs it and figured this would be a good place to let some moms know! Send a request if you're interested (should be easy to find by search, if not let me know!) or spread the word if you know a mom who would be!💖

Mental illness and pregnancy

I'm on my way to becoming a new mother only 6 weeks. Doesn't seem far for other but it's a lot for me... And I battle with depression, anxiety, and anorexia everyday and it fucking sucks. Seeing my tiny bump grow is beautiful but a part of my brain hates it hates becoming "fat" and those thoughts disgust me. I recently quit my full time job due to how my boss was treating me I'd leave work crying and extremely stressed and depressed. It was mentally healthy for me to stay so I left which my fiancé supports. But being at home now I feel like a huge disappointment I sleep when I can I often just sit on the floor or bed and stare blankly at the walls of our house. I have so many good things happening for me and my growing family. But I can't help but grow more and more depressed and forcing myself to eat and atleast exercise once or twice a day. I want to be the best and healthiest mom for my growing baby but I have frequent thoughts of harming or even killing myself I just have all lighters hidden from myself and I just don't go near the kitchen knives. Because I know what I'm capable of if there is anyone out there that can help with advice or if you're going through similar emotions it'd be well appreciated to have a friend right now. I'm too scared to tell my fiancé, family, or friends... I never leave the house now so people often swing by to make sure I'm okay if my fiancé isn't home. I feel just a vast empty pit inside I'm so alone and sad and confused.

Did you know that #SingleMamaMarried isn’t just a podcast. We are simply a small entity of a much larger vision. . . For months I’ve compiled all my thoughts and ideas, and I wrote them down. I wanted so badly to make a difference I didn’t want this to be just another business venture and ultimately I wanted to represent, a service more fulfilling and meaningful. I also didn’t want to just be a host to a podcast discussing common issues we all go through, while I know that will make a huge difference listening to other women sharing their story. I know that I have the drive and power to help and provide the tools for women who are challenge with the same struggles I experienced. Creating a safe space for women alike isn’t just the goal, but also providing and recommending services from local women based company that promote #wellness. As I mention in my Previous post, money shouldn’t be an issue partaking in an events that can help aid you in your overall mental health wellness. . . . I’m looking forward to sharing with you all what’s to come! . . . #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #Ppd #prenataldepression #prenatalanxiety #Depression #anxiety #WomenHealth #Philly #PhillyNonProfit #Nonprofit #womennonprofitorganizations #womensupportingwomen #Motherhood #Marriage #Support #SingleMotherhood #SingleLife #pregnancy #pregnant #Therapy #maternalsuicide #PhillyPodcast #NewPodcast #comingfall2020 (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFbdNv1AY-i/?igshid=10xcywwtj7y4a

Maybe this makes me a bit ridiculous but things just keep getting harder and harder lately, so I'm finding comfort in cuddling two of your daddy's rolled up t-shirts inside a newborn swaddle you will soon be using. No way to have your scent just yet, sadly. Can't wait until I'm holding you instead, sweet pea...💚 #octoberbabies #pregnancy #30w6d #antenataldepression #prenataldepression #coping #swaddles #swaddleme #peapod #tattoos #momlife #sleep
