My baby is due in 49 days. Thank goodness! Pregnancy is miraculous, and I am thrilled to be able to experience it. But, like I've said before, it's not my favorite state of being. When I wrote previously about some of the problems that come with pregnancy, I got an e-mail from a reader chastising me and saying that "fewer whiny pregnancy and parenting cliches would make you and your column more credible and much more thought-provoking."

I wrote back thanking her for her constructive criticism but said that I am just trying to write honestly about what pregnancy and parenting have been like for me; they're different for everyone.

Last week, I interviewed Paige Hemmis from "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." She will be in the city tomorrow talking about her struggle with depression. At the risk of sounding whiny, I thought this might be a good time to write about the depression that I and many other women have experienced during pregnancy.

Paige admitted that she'd struggled with depression for years before really knowing what she was dealing with. I've dealt with it on and off since I was a child.
