depression

[my2bby]

I got medication for my depression, I was told that the side affects could be to have the baby deform. Has anyone taken depression pills during pregnancy!???

There isn't anything natural you can take?.. like any other alternatives?... I'm sorry y'all are having to deal with depression. Best of luck for you all.

I have been taking Welbutrin for about five years now, and based on the advice of my practitioner have continued taking it throughout my pregnancy. I am now 34 weeks and my baby and I are both doing very well. I have no doubt that this was the right choice for me.

I'm in Lithium for bi-polar which is class C. You have to out weigh the good and the bad effects.It ***** that I HAVE to take Lithium to function daily because there Is alot of side effects. But, I would be in a downward spiral if I didn't take it and thats not healthy for me or her. My baby girl will have to be monitored after she is born and I will not be able to breastfeed either. By the grace of God she is developing normal and is in track im 36 weeks.Depression is serious and not treated can have devastating effects on you and your baby. Your Dr. should monitored you and baby very closely if one of the side effects is deformity. Talk to your dr. also maybe there is another medication safer?

Wow. I was just going to post a question about this. I am not DX with depression but I have been very depressed during my pregnancy and just don't know how to deal with it. I just don't want to be by anyone. Part of it is being in fear of losing this baby like I did the last one. I find myself contemplating suicide if I lose this baby Cuz I don't know how I would deal with it again. I know it sounds stupid and I know I wouldn't do it. Its just having those thoughts and I'm scared to tell anyone about how I feel.
