What is prenatal depression?

You may have depression when you are pregnant. This is called prenatal depression.

With help and support, most people with prenatal depression can manage the condition.

If prenatal depression is not treated, symptoms may worsen and continue after the baby is born (postpartum depression).

Symptoms

Some mood changes are normal during pregnancy, such as feeling tired or irritable. But if you feel depressed and hopeless all the time, and you no longer enjoy the things you used to do, talk to a midwife or GP.

Signs and symptoms of prenatal depression include:

  • feeling sad, moody, or tearful most of the time
  • feeling irritable or getting angry easily
  • losing interest in other people and the world around you
  • not wanting to eat or eating more than usual
  • negative thoughts, such as worrying about not being able to care for your baby
  • feeling guilty, hopeless, or blaming yourself for your problems
  • having trouble concentrating or making decisions
