So scared I might be pregnant. :-(

Hi, I've had quite severe depression for about 4 days now. it's worse in the evenings. The only time I've ever had this before was when I was pregnant with my daughter. I also had hyperemesis (severe sickness) and had to go to hospital as I was being sick every 20 mins, day and night.
We were actually trying for a baby, as my daughter is 6 now and would love a sibling and we thougt it'd be nice. Now I just really hope I'm not. If I am, I couldn't have any medication for it and I'd have to suffer it for God knows how long. I haven't been able to eat in 4 days, I have to force myself. I also feel sick most of the time especially with smelling food. The most I managed yesterday was 1/2 a bananna and a few sips of drink, I've even gone off tea and coffee.
If I am pregnant, then this one is starting off wors than I was with my daughter! She is home educated, so there isn't much time when I'm on my own. I usually manage to get her into bed at night before I start crying. I don't even know what about!
I'm going to see the doctor today hopefully, I'm not sure if there's anything they can do? I can find out for sure weather I am or not at the end of next week.
Is there anything I can do to stop me feeling like this??
I really can't stand feeling like this, it's awful.

Don't know what to say, but bumping for you.
Go and see the doctor and explain everything. Talk to your husband or partner.

Let us know how you get on with the doctor.

there must be something that can be done!
You wanted to be pg, you may be, it would be such a shame if this ruined it for you.
Let us know how you get on

You can take stuff while pregnant. I was the same as you and all I did was cry over nothing etc - this pregnancy wasn't planned anyway but this was before I even knew I was pregnant. The doctor said Prozac (fluoxetine) is actually safe to take so are sone others. I'm 33 weeks and on about going back on tablets as my mood is very low and I want to get it stable before I have them.

Yes, you should be able to take Prozac. Have you taken a home pregnancy test? Be sure to tell the doctor everything, and let us know how you get on. Good luck.

Thanks everyone! I actually feel much better this morning. I hope it lasts! I even managed to eat some porrage and a piece of toast on my night shift last night, which is a huge improvement.

The doctor only said that there were things he could do if I am or not pregnant but he needed to be sure, so all he gave me was a pot to pee in to and my DH has taken it down this morning. The funny thing is, now I'm feeling o.k, I'd quite like it to be positive! I think my hormones have been on a roller coster recently. Fingers crossed things are really looking up. Thanks again everyone, sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I work nights and I haven't felt like looking on the computor.

ooh fingers crossed, let us know won't you

You can take anti-depressants when you're pregnant, loads of people do - they say its better to be on mild medication than to be severely depressed when pg. Hope you find out soon, pregnancy (even when trying) is always a shock and produces mixed emotions!!! xxx
