OB-GYN (Obstetrician-Gynecologist) Questions Depression

Why am I so depressed during my pregnancy?

I am 7 months pregnant and I feel very depressed. Although I have a very loving family, I am not so excited about my pregnancy. Why do I have these feelings?

It is well known that pregnancy can cause DEPRESSION due to the HORMONAL CHANGES women experience when pregnant. If it is mild and very tolerable, then stick it out until you deliver. However, IF you have any serious symptoms, or are having suicidal or other abnormal thoughts, please tell your OB doctor right away.
