Q: 15 wks & depressed -
asked by: sego on June 20th, 2009

My wife is 15 wks and VERY depressed. This is our third child.

We have had ALOT of major life changes in the last year. Major / distant relocation, relative that passed away, pet that passed away... I know she feels very isolated.

Just alot to deal with.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to help her get out of this 'funk' - i am beginning to get a little concerned.

Thanks,

S

Just hug her when she needs it. These pregnancy hormones are no joke.

You are her support group. Be there as much as you can for doctor visits. Try doing something fun outside of the home. Massage her feet. Rub her back. Make her bath water to relax. And most importantly let her know you love her everyday Smile

hi
Hi I totally understand her beacuse I am in the same situation. I gor married, moved to a new coutry, left my job, social life, friends, and family behind. I feel extremly isolated, my pet also passed away bit it even didn't bother me because I already feel a deep pain in myself, losing everting, losing myself. I am 13 weeks pregnant my doctor prescribed me prozac I am just praying that my anxiety symtoms can be better and I can sleep at least 5 hours a day.
