Pregnancy @ 14?: Some women can become depressed during pregnancy, especially if they've had depression previously. It may also depend on the circumstances of the woman's life, the way she feels about her pregnancy, the support she's receiving, and her relationship with her baby's father. If your age is truly 14 and you're pregnant, you need your family's help. Please tell your doctor of any depression too.

Being Pregnant: I will read in your question that you are asking about someone else who may be pregnant in your life. But, if this is about you, please get to a safe adult and ask for help. But, yes, of course, being pregnant can cause all sorts of emotional stresses upon the body and spirit of the pregnant female. It can cause fatigue, pain, and any number of significant physical and emotional stresses.
