I am in my first trimester of pregnancy and have been feeling depressed recently. I try to keep myself involved and my family keeps cheering me up but still I am down. What could be the cause for this.
Is this normal for other pregnant women as well?
Depression could be because of many reasons. I know that you are trying to keep yourself happy now but if there is something at the back of your mind that is troubling you it could effect. Another thing that could be an issue is if you had problems getting pregnant at the back of your mind you may have some concerns for your baby.
I will suggest you to just give away all the negative thoughts totally and get yourself involved in preparations for your baby's arrival.
All the best
I felt depressed during both my pregnancy and at that time I remember the doctor telling me that many a times there are families where every pregnant mom has depression. And sometimes even when you are doing some stressful work then also that may lead to depression during pregnancy.
