Hiya..
Tomorrow I am going to the docs about my depessive/anxious mood recently and was wondering what meds,if any are safe when pregnant/b/feeding.Anyone had experience with this?
Before i got preggers I was on prozac,but came off them when we concieved.(i do have a history of depression)I am now 33wks preggers and am finding it increasingly difficult to cope..I am on strict bedrest at home, due to a short cervix(i do have a stitch)it hasnt been a easy pregnancy I have spent alot of time in hospital..I am unable to go to anti-natal classes,so sometimes feel isolated.I had a still birth at 24wks in 06..so the hospital have been extra cautious with me,during this pregnancy.I also know how lucky I am to have got this far,on such a short/weak cervix.I am proud that i've done so well,but my moods recently are going from dark to light in seconds..All i have done for the past 30weeks is concentrate on getting to where my baby will be o.k..ive thought out of pure determination to keep this baby baking..it seems now I know he will be o.k..Its hit me like a tonn of bricks,what I have been through and the floodgates have opened...I am allowing myself to feel/almost like a delayed reaction at 24wks when I was admitted into hospital with this pregnancy and told that I am at serious risk of loosing this baby...Although i was petrified beyond belief..I was determined I wasnt going to loose this bubba..How can I go from that strong woman to the weak one I feel now? Bizarre.As a mum I guess we fight to the bitter end..Only now hormonally/chemically I feel like all the lights have been switched off and its happened so quickly..2weeks ago I was fine.
I am reluctant to go back on meds,but know that if I'm happy then baby is happy..
I do have weekly counselling and have had since the loss of our first baby.This does help alot.
Thanks for listening.
