    Is it depression?
    Everybody keeps saying its hormones its hormones your suppose to be all weepy during pregnancy. I feel like this has gone beyond weepy, I go to work come home crawl in bed and just can't bring myself to move, then I will cry hours on end. I've been under major stress lately and I have less than 2 months left in this pregnancy. This entire pregnancy has been stressful from the time I found out and even now.I could just be laying down looking out the window and burst into tears. I am just about at the end of my witts and I need to know how can I fix this !

    Have you told your OB all this?

    This sounds like depression. There are anti-depressants you can use safely during pregnancy. With my second pregnancy I was on anti-depressants before, during, and after.

    Why not talk to your OBGYN about this, and see if there's something he/she can do to help. Keep in mind that anti-depressants (if that's the route you choose) can take up to 6 weeks to start working.

    There's no shame in needing help, but you do have to ask for it, and the person to ask is your doctor.
