Hi everyone
I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant. I've had a bit of a rough time during my pregnancy, partner been emotionally abusive throughout, was being unfaithful with many women including prostitutes, was using cocaine & spending all of our money. I did eventually end it with him a few months ago and he's now moved out,
I've been extra nervous this pregnancy due to a loss quite late on last summer, so it's been pretty traumatic going through this alone, although thankfully everything is fine with this baby so far.
I've been with the perinatal mental health team who have been supportive, and they prescribed me sertraline & promethazine. I haven't taken either as I've been worried they may harm the baby in some way.
However, the last few weeks have been really hard and I'm struggling to cope. I've fallen behind with work as I don't get out of bed, don't see my friends & family and have just fallen into a dark place. I was debating starting the tablets but given how far I am I'm scared they may do something and I'd never forgive myself. I'm scared to tell my midwife how I'm feeling in case social services become involved due to my depression or they feel I'm not stable to have baby on my own.
Has anybody started medication this late into pregnancy? Or should I just ride it out now?
Thanks x
