pregnant off meds&depressed

[AlyHennessy]

Hi Forum,
I am now 16 weeks pregnant and of course off meds for anxiety and depression and trying to get through...
I feel worthless that I am not working right now and have always had a hard time with jobs bc of my social anxiety and inability to be social. My husband works hard and provides for me very well and I feel guilty staying home not contributing to the home...I never thought I would just be a stay at home wife and now mother...I feel very worthless. I have begun doing crafts and no selling in etsy and registered for my first crafts show with my sister in law...I hope this will help give me somewhat of an identity...
Any other depressed mom's to be or mothers stay at home wifes

I hope you understand that when we stay home and take care of the family, sometimes we can feel unimportant! Your job is the greatest and hardest job there is! :) don't ever feel unimportant because one day, your children will thank you for it!!!! :)

Hello! Congratulations on the baby! My daughter is pregnant and takes an antidepressant med. I'm a nurse and I know there are a couple you can take. Just ask your doctor! You want to enjoy your pregnancy and feel well too! :)
Sometimes we have to ask our Doctors if they don't mention it. If your dr. Says no, then get advice from another Doc! :) blessings!
