Q: Depression And Pregnancy

I know just as well as the next pregnant woman that being depressed while pregnant may have detrimental effects of an unborn baby, but I cant seem to make myself happy. My supposedly wonderful boyfriend cheated on me with one of my friends sisters threatened, my mother and told me he was going to kidnap my baby as soon as he is born! My father has disowned me and on top of all that I have no financial means to raise a baby. Nothing seems to be going my way and I constantly obsess over my baby's health because not knowing I was pregnant I continued to take benedryl and vicodin. I have tried everything to try to cheer myself up but nothing works, do ya'll have any suggestions?

It seems uve hit rock bottom, like you only have that baby, right? I went through this with my 4th pregnancy once I sobered up. I don't know what to tell you, I got better through in-patient drug treatment, but I dont think that will help u

Angel kiss...

Someone who cares about you
thought you could use
some angel kisses.
Angel kisses have the power to
make you feel better and give you hope.
Just one angel kiss will make
your troubles disappear,
and you'll suddenly have the motivation
you need to complete a difficult task.
Run your cursor over the angels
to receive your angel kiss.
And you'll feel a sense of
warmth and happiness
that will last the whole day.
Even if it's rainy outside,
nothing but sunshine will
come your way.



Angel hug...

I'm sending you an angel hug
to brighten your day.
Your angel will smooth out the road
should trouble come your way.

She'll ease your disappointment
and take away your fear
until the music of your dreams
is the only song you hear.

She'll plant the seeds
of love and hope
deep inside your heart,
and her touch of sunshine
will make the clouds depart.

So when you're feeling weary,
frustrated, or blue,
remember that your angel
is there for you.

Hunnie rock bottom is as low as it goes! Think of it this way..The only way to go from here is up!! You are never alone b/c god is always there! Sometimes he wants to huble us so we can see him and what he has to offer us! Please don't lose hope! Remember there is always someone worse off. Just love urself and your baby and you will come through this alot stronger. I wish there was some magic word to make it all better but the only one I know is god!! Goodluck sweetie.

Jen what happened to the job you got?

How is greg acting now?

And you have to pull thru this you have to think past it and put a smile on your face.

What are you doing for money? Is your mom helping? Are you insured? Is the baby?

Hate to say it but if you dont think financially or emotionally you will be able to do it... Have you thought of adopting out your baby? Giving them a life your unable to provide?
