antidepressants
Can you take them while pregnant? Im not currently on them....however I've been so extremely depressed that its been bad because I don't eat that much and can't sleep. I cry all the time...I know being moody while prego is normal but I feel like it's way worse than normal. I feel insane. I can't deal with it. I think i need meds or I'm gonna go crazy. Will the Dr prescribe me any or no? Am I just gonna have to be psycho for the rest of the pregnancy...
I have had a lot of depressions and anxiety this pregnancy. Its so hard and not easy I am sorry we all have to go through it. I hope your insurance gets fixed soon. A little tip with medicaid. If you get with a social worker st the hospital you plan to deliver at. They can help you get it taken care of faster.
I wish you the best

I am going through the same thing, do you have any friends you can call and talk to in the mean time. I am seeing a therapist now and some days i feel like it helps but most days i am just cranky. I cant even be around my own kids right now whuch scaries me because I am pregnant i am on the same boat just hoping these feelings will just hurry up and go away because i do love my kids just dont have the patience to be around them at this time.
I honestly couldn't care less if you ignored it or not. You need to put your baby first, insurance or not, pay up front, seek therapy and find the money. Both parents need to want this baby.
Yes I know you told me and I said I'm having an insurance problem at the moment and would get to the dr as soon as i can...then you told me to give the baby up and i said my fiance wants to keep it... And you said again to read your post about the meds I saw your post the first time but I can't just run to the Dr this second. I just moved to another state and I'm in the process of having it switched. I'm aware that I might be at a higher risk for post partum...and as I stated I will be going to the Dr. You were the one who was acting like I was ignoring your post about the meds. I wasn't I read it thanks for the suggestion.
I am not condescending, I've attempted to give advice. I have a degree in psychology, a diploma in psychiatric nursing, a master's degree in mental health and a post-graduate diploma in Cognitive behavioural therapy. I have 15 years experience working in mental health. I can tell you that if you suffer from depression during pregnancy, you are more at significant risk of developing post-natal depression. This isn't the time to have hope that your feelings will just change once the baby comes along. It is not worth the risk. I am struggling with what it is you want people to say. You initially asked what anti-depressants are safe to take and I told you.
Excuse you.....I'm going to the Dr as soon as I can...I'm in the process of switching insurance as I stated in my previous post. I read your post and saw your suggestion. You're a condescending ***** so just get off my post..... And i have talked to my partner he is very supportive and encouraging.
As I said in a previous post, fluoxetine and sertraline are safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Go see a Dr or therapist. And tell you're partner how you're feeling.
I'm going through the same thing out of nowhere I just started feeling like this and it feels horrible...I'm not taking any meds but sometimes I feel like I need to I have about 3 months left and feel like idk how I'm going to get through them sometimes....my head is always hurting I can't eat or sleep and I also cry all day and feel extremely weak...I hope we can both feel better soon because this feeling is not cool at all
And just because I'm depressed right now doesn't mean I won't love the baby. My sis never wanted kids and she got pregnant and it was hard for her to accept to but as soon as she had the baby she fell in love. I think its the hormones making me crazy...I can't handle female hormones too well. I normally have very low levels I only ovulate like 2,times a year and was told it would be very hard to get pregnant anyway..but eveytime I went on birth control I had severe depression panic attacks and mood swings. My body doesn't handle female hormones too well. So I think for me the pregnancy mood swings are 10 times worse than for most people. I was hoping a could take something to help calm my mood. I love babies so I know once I see the baby I will him him but its scary thinking about becoming a new mom when its something I never really wanted or plan.
Ummm if you would have read my post my fiance wants the baby so I can't give it up for adoption. He isn't gonna sign the baby over that's what I was just explaining.
If you don't want a baby, give him up for adoption. There's nothing more heartbreaking to a child than a mother who doesn't want or love him.
Well I kinda have to continue the pregnancy at this point I'm 20 weeks. I thought about getting an abortion in the beginning but my fiance really wanted me to keep the baby...it's his baby too I just couldn't go through with ending the pregnancy. My friend suggested adoption which i cant do im engaged to the babys father he wont just let me give away his baby. I was hoping I'd start to feel better and accept the pregnancy when i got farther along but I havent. I was hoping for a girl that would've made me a Lil more excited but then i just found out it's a boy so that just made me even more depressed. I don't know. :(
Fluoxetine and sertraline are safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you're struggling to come to terms with your pregnancy it sounds as though talking it through with someone would help you. I'm based in the UK so I wouldn't know how it works in the States but surely you could get a referral to a therapist? Becoming pregnant is a huge thing to get your head around. It changes the rest of your life, permanently. I have wanted a baby since I left high school, I'm now 29 and married to a lovely man. We actively tried to conceive and I was desperate to. Now it's happened I'm having all sorts of feelings about my body changing and saying goodbye to my old life. I feel like it's going to be difficult to accept certain changes. My family seem surprised that I'm having these thoughts because I've always wanted to have a family. I think it's perfectly OK if not every thought in your head is a warm fuzzy one about becoming a loving mummy. You're bound to feel some negativity too. Is this making some sense? And for yourself, if you're unsure about whether to continue the pregnancy (all your choice and a perfectly reasonable one in my opinion) then you must start talking to your doctors as soon as possible. I hope you get the help you need.
I was on them, but when I found out I was pregnant I stopped right away. (My personal choice, nothing to do with my doctor) I choose it because the chemical in them bilds up in the brain. I also knew the one I was taking wasn't safe during pregnancy. There are some that atr safe, but that doesn't nessaceraly mean they will work for you. Ask your doctor about it. I would as soon as possible, feeling like this can be just as harmful tham some medications.
I just moved to another state and have medicaid so I'm in the process of getting it switched so hopefully it doesn't take too long so I can get to the Dr soon. I try talking to family ans stuff but it doesn't really help because of coursethey just say oh you should be happy. But I'm not and don't know how to get happy. I just can't accept the fact that I'm pregnant. Everyone is happy and just expects me to be.
Antidepressants can be taken if your doctor believes that the potential benefit to your wellbeing outweighs any potential risk to your unborn baby. Your doctor may prefer to discuss the possibility of some counseling or therapy with you as a first line option, before he/she will prescribe medication. It sounds as though you should speak to a doctor as soon as possible, feeling the way you do is not good for you or your baby. Maybe in the meantime you could discuss things with your partner or a loved one? The people who care about you will want to support you during this time, especially if you're finding it difficult. Don't suffer alone. I hope it comes good for you, good luck.
I took wellbutrin in my first pregnancy
There are certain meds that are considered safe. I'm on two right now. Please call your Dr as soon as possible
