First, I want to say thank you to all my followers of my blog and being patient with me! I know you guys I have been emailing me asking how my pregnancy has been going and I thank you guys for the appreciation of my pregnancy! Also, shout out to my recent followers of my blog! Thank you for the continuing support.
Anyways, a lot of you guys has been asking me how I have been dealing with my depression while being pregnant. If you’ve been following me for the past few years now, that I suffer with depression and I have discussed many times my challenges with depression here on my blog which has received so much love and support from a lot of people from around the world thanking me for being so public about talking about mental health. If you’re new to my blog and want to read up on some of my blogs about my experiences with depression, go ahead and check them out by searching on my site! Anyways, in today’s blog post, I will be sharing my updates of my depression while being pregnant and how my depression has been ever since becoming pregnant as well as some helpful tips for pregnant women who are either struggling with their depression or has depression.
I am 6 months pregnant and ever since I have become pregnant, my depression has been under control. Throughout my pregnancy, I have not yet experienced any depressive episodes as I had in the past before I had became pregnant. Now, I am not saying that I possibly won’t experience a depressive moment during my pregnancy due to my changing hormones and emotions, but I can say that I am prepared for when I do have a depressive episode during my pregnancy.
When I had first became pregnant, I was definitely worried about how my challenges with depression would effect myself and my pregnancy. I was scared and in concern about my overall mental health for my unborn child. But throughout my pregnancy I began to not think about my depression and thought about how my life has changed and is continuing to change now that I am going to be a mother to a healthy and beautiful baby boy soon!
To be truly honest, I have not yet thought about my depression during my pregnancy. I can admit, that I have had a few moments where I have cried and was emotional but it was all due to my emotions changing – not because of my depression.
I can happily say that I’ve been feeling happy and healthy during my pregnancy mentally and physically. And as a beauty blogger who has experienced and understands the various challenges with depression, I wanted to share helpful and inspiring tips for mothers and soon to be mothers who are struggling with depression.
As a first time soon to be mother, I do have that worry of having a depressive episode in the back of my mind while being pregnant. I do want to say that if you are already a mother or a pregnant soon to be mom either for the first time or second, third, fourth, fifth time, etc., just know that you are a powerful woman and mother. Don’t ever give up and know that you are never alone with depression. As mothers, we are here for one another to lift each other up and inspire one another! You can conquered the world as a mother and woman and always know that you can achieve anything and everything and to never ever allow depression take away your hopes and dreams as well as goals and absolutely not let depression take you away from being a mother and woman!
I hope everyone enjoyed this blog post! I hope this particular post has helped anyone of need who needed to read this to brighten up their day! Depression is hurtful but it should not deteriorate you from your life and dreams.
Chat with you all on the next blog post!
