Is anyone else pregnant and and suffering from a mental illness. I'm having such a hard time dealing with this, on top of the hormones. I haven't been on meds, and refuse to take any for obvious reasons. How can I take the stress off of the baby?

I had my daughter almost 5 months ago, but before i got pregnant,  i was on anti depressants and bi polar medication.  At 6 weeks pregnant,  i decided to stop taking my meds.  It was a tough transition,  but i got through it. Going on daily walks helped me clear my mind and any anger.  I also took warm baths.

Im in the same bout stressed and overwhelmed not just because what im going through but also because its my first and im nervous ect. Ect. Everyone says its normal. Try listening to relaxation or meditation music on Pandora with some headphones if you have quiet time just lay there and relax think and about the baby.it helps me. Hopefully same for you :) you will be fine mommy!
