Hey all

I've recently found out I'm pregnant, still early days and I haven't had my first hospital appointment.

I had to have a TFMR earlier this year due to pentalogy of Cantrell syndrome so was super excited to see the BFP this time.

I took the termination badly and it really affected my mental health. I went to the doctor and they wasn't helpful at all, told me I should sign up to Zumba and do exercise. (I appreciate exercise is good for mental health but that was the last thing I felt like doing!)

A friend of mine gave me some anxiety tablets which she is prescribed - clonazepam. They've helped me massively over the past few months and I'm now worried being pregnant as I'd been taking them. Ive read that you can't just stop taking these as it can be dangerous and have to wean yourself off.

I know I should ask the hospital which I will but I wondered whether anybody had any experience of pregnancy and this medication. I know you should never self medicate but I was in a very bad place, tried an attempt on my life and doctors weren't helping in any way at all.

Hope somebody can help x
