Can you get postpartum depression when you are still pregnant?
June 26th, 2010 | 
Author: Today when i woke i did not feel myself. I really havent ate much of anything and i want to be alone and all of a sudden i get really angery for no reason and then i start crying for no reason. I am 36 weeks pregnant and i was just wondering if you can have postpartum depression while you are pregnant.
You can definately experience mood issues!
With my son I did start having the depression issues you describe while still pregnant, and it continued for a couple of weeks after.
With other pregnancies I have had some depression during pregnancy and not at all afterward!
It can really vary. But try to think of it as something that will pass to avoid making yourself feel worse. 
Hope it passes soon!

Depression during pregnancy is common – it’s called prepartum depression, instead of postpartum. Lots of other women go through what you’re going through; talk to your doctor or a counsellor for some tips on how to get through the next few months. Make sure you get the support you need from family and friends as well.
