People have warned me about the risk of getting postpartum depression but I’m already so fucking depressed that I would be absolutely shocked to NOT have postpartum depression. I wish there was more support for pregnant people who are already experiencing severe depression but I only ever hear about postpartum.

For perinatal depression (depression during pregnancy or within a year of childbirth), two kinds of counselling could be suggested. One of these is Cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT. This helps patients to overcome their negative thoughts and manage them effectively. The other form of therapy is interpersonal therapy that targets problems with relationships which could be causing the depression.

I am so uncomfortable, exhausted, and just done with everything. I literally feel like my body is dying. I had a bath with Melon because I didn't have the energy to shower. She's feeding off these bad vibes and regressing in everything, toilet training, speech, behaviour, and I don't know what to do. I feel completely alone in this because Kyle works 50 hours a week and sleeps for 90% of his weekend. I'm too ashamed to ask for help cleaning my house because I've let it get so bad. I put Melon in day care 3-4 times a week just to sleep. I really hope things improve when the baby arrives and I get my body back but I'm scared things will get worse.

Depression mainly affects the women during perinatal period. If it is not treated properly in early stage of pregnancy it leads to post partum depression and can affect fetal development also. Methods Quantitative approach with non experimental comparative research design was adopted to study the perinatal depression among normal and high risk pregnant women. The study was conducted in antenatal OPD of IMS and SUM Hospital, Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Hundred normal pregnant women and 100 high risk pregnant women were selected purposively. The tools used to collect the data were 1. Socio demographic questionnaire, 2. Beck depression Inventory. The data were entered and analysed in SPSS version 20. Result Almost one third from normal 32 and high risk pregnant women 36 had mild mood disturbances. Equal and 5 of women from normal and high risk pregnant women had border line clinical disturbance and equal and 2 of normal and high risk pregnant women had moderate depression. It can be interpreted that almost one third of women had different levels of depression. There was no difference found in the level of depression between normal and high risk pregnant women.
