Dr. Aron Tendler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Discuss with Psych: There is also a risk to being depressed during your pregnancy. There is a really tiny risk of problems with your pregnancy or of the baby being irritable when he is born for a few days but this is nothing compared to the problems of growing a fetus inside a depressed mother.
