Zoloft is safe for pregnancy after first trimester. its also safe for breast feeding

I was always scared to take the Medz cuz i heard it might make me worse but u get sum sea salt some bath oil whatever u like and u just relax in the water lights off light a candle preferably white and just close ur eyes and picture urself floating and focus and see urself with no anxiety a life with no anxiety yes it's weird but after doing it every night or a few nights a week followed by a nice rubbed down of ur favorite oil or lotion and you'll drift right into sleep it'll take a while but it'll help ur body to wine down its worth a try

@ksouza53, people don't get it, sometimes you can't just "deal" with it and try natural ways...there's things going on affecting your brain chemistry. I was told that the affects of me not being on it would be greater to the baby than the affects of me being on it. I'm going to ask my psychiatrist about the baby having withdrawals since it was never mentioned

What's a meditation bath? And we do go to counseling but it's just something I've had for a while. Like I said I've been on Zoloft before for heart palpitations and anxiety but was able to come off of it. But now they want me back on it @pregnantbarbz

I literally am going nuts. I picked the prescription up and I don't know what to do. Idn what I'll do if my baby comes out with withdrawals. My doctor didn't say anything about them to me. @jderr220

Noooooooo girl meditation baths relax mama I use to suffer from anxiety you have to figure out what it is deep deep down inside that is bothering you I realized whenever I went to my therapist and got it all out its like taking a mental shit it felt good and the attack a were gone anytime u need to talk I'm here I kmo what u going through anxiety is a terrifying feeling

@ksouza53, I've been on it for over 10 years and have been on it my entire pregnancy and the baby is fine and I was told it's safe. idk why people are saying it isn't safe and I haven't been told anything about the baby having withdrawals when she's born. I was on 50mg before I got pregnant and I'm up to 125mg because my anxiety got really bad when I got pregnant

I actually got put on a low dose of it a few weeks ago, around week 25 or 26 of my pregnancy and honestly its been the best decision i've made. I feel so much better, i didn't even realize how bad i had gotten until they put me on it and i haven't looked back. My doctor did say that, as with all anti-depressants, they will monitor baby a little more after birth and there is a risk of problems with feeding and transitioning. But honestly i couldn't even think about stopping with how much better i feel. I'm on the lowest dose and my doctor said the risk is minimum but of course, as with anything, there is still a risk. If you think you need it then DEFINITELY take it, like someone else said the baby will not be happy if mommy is not happy! And if you do suffer from depression it makes the risk of post partum depression higher after baby is born if left untreated.

I will tell you what my dr tells me. Can't have a healthy baby without a healthy mom. Think of the longer term. You need to be mentally stable and healthy to create that precious baby. Don't freak out. It will be okay. I don't like the fact of my baby being in special care but I can't function without my medicine and me being off of it is MUCH worse than baby being in special care to be monitored a couple days. Just have to stay positive!!

It's ok to tell doctors no .

I didn't even think about that. I mean I knew it would go to the baby alittle but I didn't really think about the after affects of withdrawals. I don't know what to do, now I'm freaking out even more !! @ash96 @mandy890

The medicine gone go to the baby too

I wouldn't do it

I take effexor and there is no side effects to baby. There will be after she is born only because she will withdrawal but I'm going to assume it will be the same with Zoloft. Baby will most likely just have to go through the withdrawal and stay extra time in special care.

I have no idea but I need it back. Lol. I stay so depressed. @ksouza53

I wonder why? My doctor first looked into how far along I was because I've only heard bad things about it too. But because I'm far enough she said it would be safe. I guess in the first trimester it could cause heart problems. @britt16

No just said for me to stop it. @ksouza53

Did they tell you why? @britt16

@txkitten83,

That's good to hear! I know I need it, I feel like both me and my son are suffering without it because when I'm having my anxiety and getting the headaches I can't even eat and I haven't gained any weight so far. Thanks for the positivity!

They told me not to take it during pregnancy.

I have been taking it since before pregnancy, I have bipolar depression so stopping it wasn't an option. All has been well, baby is growing and haven't had any worries so far
