It was my first Counselling session and my counselor told me I have major depression and that I should speak to my gynecologist about it and refer me to a psychiatrist for medication. I'm nervous about taking medication while pregnant scared I'll effect my baby. I'm feeling may be I'm not depressed I'm just lazy.. all my life I've been lazy at times.. but the counselor after asking series of question about my life says I've had depression from my teenage years on and off and it has just gotten worst and will only get worst if I don't treat it, and it's better for me to take medication coz post part I'm depression could be the worst. Now I'm not sure if I have to get second opinion, Or push my lazy butt and do chores. If anyone's taken medication during pregnancy and does it help and if the baby is fine .. please let me know. Thanks.
