Hi bit shy about talking about this cause of stigma attached to depression but needed advice.
I have a underactive thyroid and find it helps to take a antidepressent along side it or get bad depression (staring at walls not wanting get out of bed type) anyway I came of the antidepressents with the doctors advice when I first found out I was pregnant.
I put the emotions the last 3 months down to hormones the crying and getting irratable.
Had a hard time recently with bleeding and had a few scans so thought the feeling sad normal.
Last few days starting to have the staring at walls business again and thought I need to go back on them. Got that strange numb feeling you get when depressed.
Can anyone relate to this?
Who has had depression or is it normal to feel like this when pregnant?
I am taking into account the bad time I had recently but it just feels different. I want to go back on the meds but concerned if they will have any effect on the baby.
Spoke to doctor already seems all for me staying off the meds.
