My article this week was about the increase in preterm births due to depression in the mothers. I found this article interesting because there are many Americans, especially moms, that suffer from depression. According to this article, doctors aren't sure how depression leads to premature babies, however they do know that it is not the result of antidepressants. This point is completely obvious because if the women are on antidepressants then they won't be depressed. I think CNN has lost it. Anyway, this article makes me think. Isn't pregnancy supposed to be a "wonderful" time for a mother? I mean, they're pregnant because they want a baby. So, do the women who are depressed get that way because they aren't happy about being pregnant and furthermore, isn't depression and mood swings a "side effect" of being pregnant? This article leaves me with so many questions and very few answers. If so many women are depressed during their pregnancies, then why do they even have babies. They should look up to Angelina Jolie and adopt babies from other countries. Then we'd have happy moms and no orphans. It's a solution to a crisis.
