New First Time Mom-to-Be
As a new member to this website and community, I wanted to introduce myself. This is my second pregnancy for my first baby. I miscarried in June at 9 weeks but did not need a D & C. I am now 17 weeks and due on June 1, 2009.
My husband and I are super excited to be parents. We were high school sweathearts that dated for 8 years and have been married for 1.5 years. We also have two dogs Ginger (a cockerspaniel poodle mix) and Snap ( a maltese poodle mix). (Get it Ginger Snap.. like the cookie.. hehe)
My pregnancy has been complicated from the start. I suffered depression since 2007 and ended up tapering off medication for the first trimester with my doctors approval to help the baby's development. I started getting depressed again during the second trimester and my doctor put me on antidepressants until I found out that I actually have Bipolar Disorder Type II (with highs and lows but no hallucinations/delusions). Currently, I am on no medication because my one psychiatrist did not know was safe for me and the baby. I am waiting until January 5 to see a perionatologist psychiatrist, who will hopefully give me the treatments that I desperately need.
I'd love to find some friends to discuss all our pregnancy and parenting experiences.
Happy Holidays! This is my last ultrasound taken at 11 weeks 4 days.
