depression medicine ?

Can you get on anti-depressants while being pregnant? I constantly just sit in my house all day and cry. I think about killing myself all the time and I'm just so depressed. I don't want to feel like this anymore..

Welbutrin ia an antidepressant med but its not the safest for pregnancy.  Sertraline is the safest, dr switched me from prozac to that because its the safest.

You can be put on medications for depression while pregnant. Ask your doctor what's safe and what they recommend. If it gets really bad see a psychologist, some times you need counseling along with medication to beat your depression.

It sounds like clinical depression to me and that's not going to go away after the baby is born.

I'm so sorry you feel that way. I really hope you find a way to cope with your feelings. But you only have 9 weeks to go until you'll be blessed with your lo and you'll never feel lonely every again! I promise you, finally holding your baby will melt your heart and make you forget all the pain you once thought you couldn't bear. Please hang in there!!

Have you talked to ur dr about this? You definately need to ASAP!!!!!  You should be on antidepressant, sertraline (zoloft) is extremely safe for baby.

I'm 31 weeks. I just have a lot going on in mt life. I love my baby and I only want whats best for her and I wish these thoughts would go away but they just get worse . I've always been depressed and suicidal. I don't really have anyone to talk to about it. I  wad super depressed prior to being pregnant and the only person I had was my boyfriend at the time. (my babies dad) and he left me almos
2 months ago and since then it's just getting worse and worse..

why are you so sad? what has you so far down that you would want to take away the best thing your baby could have (his mommy)... im not blaming you and I'm pretty sure what ever you're going through is tough.but maybe if you talk to someone,/anyone even if its one of us mommies to be,  that together e could get thru it..
Rather than taking drugs. - they only suppress the feelings, the problem if still there.

Good luck mama.
