Hi. This is my first time posting. My husband is diagnosed w/ depression and as my subject line implies - I'm 22 weeks pregnant. We are both excited about the baby and our levels of excitement differ. My concern is the future and how his bouts of depression and irritability will either be exasperated or lessened when the baby comes. I want our baby's world to be filled with happiness - not irritability. I want it to surrounded by smiles and lately (due to stresses at work) my husband rarely smiles at me, I can't imagine what life would be like with a baby in the house.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Am I in the wrong to have these thoughts? I know that when the baby arrives, he will love it with all his heart. I've seen him with other our nieces and nephews, but I'm just worried. |

welcome to pc abc. Your husbands depression you say stems from the stress at work... is there a way for that to be resolved for him? My husband also has a great deal of stress in his life and is unhappy. Though he will not admit it. Just stand and be supportive to your man. Let him know that you are there.... and remember to try to not get caught up in it. You yourself are going through a lot, pregnancy is hard enough on your body and hormones, so take care of yourself also... I don't think I have helped you much here but I certainly hope that you will continue to come to PC as this is a great place with many good people... Take care and congrats on your pregnancy....Linda

having a first baby causes different emotions in both parents. your hormones are raging and he's stressed at work. try to get some couples counseling. you can find a minister or a T and talking this out will help the both of you. xoxox pat
