Hi everyone,
Just wanted to know anyone who is in or has been in a similar situation.
Prior to conceiving I was on 50mg of sertraline so a low dose for anxiety for around 4/5 months and it really helped me!
My partner and I decided to let nature take its course with regards to conceiving and I took my self instantly completely off them after reading and googling risks etc. I didn't want to take any percent chance no matter how low.
I know this was a very very silly thing for me to do as they advise not to do this, i fell pregnant 2 cycles after coming off them and I absolutely started to feel the affect plus hormones!
Had my 16 week midwife app today and I completely broke down as I feel I'm rly struggling and my anxiety has gone through the roof.
My midwife reassured me today and explained sertraline is safe in pregnancy and I could take a very very low dose.
I want to on one hand as I feel it would help me be a better mother, girlfriend and overall help me cope with day to day life and ease the anxieties.
But I feel completely selfish on the other hand and am also scared to take it as I know small amounts pass through and I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to my baby.
Has anyone had any experiences with this?
Thankyou xxx
