Hi all,
I previously had pretty bad anxiety and was very anxious about pregnancy and birth. I went on Sertraline 100mg right before I got pregnant and it worked wonderfully. Only thing I'm concerned about is that now that I'm on it I'd say my mood is pretty much a 7/10 all the time- there are no big highs or big lows. I still get very mild anxiety from time to time but it's so manageable. I have cried once since being pregnant (I'm now 21weeks), when my partner said he couldn't make it to the 20 week scan but other than that I've been generally happy. I don't want to mess with the dosage when things are going well but I'm concerned that when it comes time to giving birth I won't feel the extreme emotions that everyone talks about. I'd hate to miss out on this experience and thinking of talking to my gp about reducing the dose. Can anyone relate? Is it even possible to not feel big emotions during birth?
