Hi mums
I wanted to try and get some advice and help. I have been prescribed Prozac, as I have had bouts of depression in the past (15 years ago) but I am at 26 weeks pregnant and suffering really badly.
The common doubts and insecurities with baby number 1, but it's really spiralling out of control and I can't see the wood for the trees. I feel it's going to go on for ever as a result of having children. I feel if I had known it would be this bad i wouldn't have dreamt of it. But I had a great 2nd trimester, but the 3rd has triggered very bad depression.
I am very scared about taking Prozac incase it hurts the baby and I have been told that I can't breast feed if I take prozac now. I don't want to deny my first birthing experience without being able to chose this bonding experience, but on the flip side I feel I have been beyond low and don't want to feel it will never end after giving birth or having kids.
If anyone has any advice particulalry on prozac I would be grateful, as I really am scared about the harmful effects on the baby. I would never forgive myself if there was anything wrong with it as a result.
Thank you mums
