Depression and Morning sickness

Hi

I have depression and I?m on tablets but I?m 9 weeks pg and for the last week I have either been sick and lost my tablet or had to take it at different times. Now I?m feeling the affect and I?m naggy as hell with the world. I just want to scream and not stop. I?m annoyed about things and I don?t know if I should be or not and I?m scared I will get worse and go off the deep end or have a breakdown.

I was getting better but then I got pg and I?m trying to keep things together but I?m finding it so hard. I have told my husband but he does not know what to do and can?t help me. I had counselling and I was better I?m just hormonal and missed my tablets so I?m on a roller coaster and I?m scared I will get worse. I don?t know what to do to stop it or to make things better. I have really bad morning sickness so it?s hard to keep anything down.

Has anyone else been through this and have any advice?

First of all congratulations littleblueboat.
I would advise you go back to your GP and explain the situation, are the ADs
you are on suitable for pregnancy, your GP might be able to give you something to stop the sickness so you can still take your tablet at the correct time or change the time you take them, you can get ADs in liquid drops as well that you can put in some juice ( my autistic DS takes these as he cannot swallow tablets ) and they are faster acting so if he is sick the ADs will have already have done their job.
Your hormones being all over the place is normal, especially in the first 3 months and i found the morning sickness worse for the first 3 months as well so hopefully it will settle down for you but for some people it can continue for the whole pregnancy, this happened to a freind of mine and she had to take anti sickness meds througout the last 5 months, better to get it seen to ASAP as once your baby is born it could lead to PND if you are not prepared.
