I suffered very badly in pregnancy with antenatal depression and anxiety and I am currently taking some medication which is a hormone that apparently increases in pregnancy, and finding myself feeling more and more anxious atm.
This is leading me to think it's very likely that if I do another pregnancy I will suffer again but I already have one child to think about and need to do my best to find coping solutions.
I am against medication, and would like that not to be my first option, primarily because I would simply worry over what damage I might be doing to a baby by taking it.
Has anyone gone on to have a positive pregnancy experience after an awful one mentally, or any tips on how you alleviate the anxieties that come with pregnancy?
