Tell your OB: Please tell your OB physician about this asap. You need help for your depression, whether or not you decide to keep your baby.

Psychiatrists and OB doctors often work together in such situations -- psychologists also. Please don't wait to tell your doctor!

Counseling: Do this soon so you have time to explore all of your options. Find an appropriate to you counselor. If you mean severely depressed it ought to be either a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist, since that might avoid serious post-partum depression if you carry to term. Decisions on adoption or abortion can also be explored as can discovering group parenting cooperatives. Time flys - take care!

Reach out : To a therapist to address the depression and search for support systems to help you plan your future. They can help you to figure out how to manage becoming a single parent. Sometimes family members change their attitude when a child is born. Churches and other organizations can help as well. As difficult as it is to decide, you can explore the option of finding adoptive parents for your child.
