Any thoughts on anti-depressants during pregnancy? I'm nervous to take them but my mental health is going down hill. Fast.
How did they work not prego? Cause apparently I needed them.before I was prego lol so I'm sure I'll need them after. Im honestly mostly nervous about side effects. @mommytonayeliz
@katerinanakley2 yeah i mean ive taken them but not while i been pregnant ! so i dont really have insight on that ! but u do what u have to do ,to be the best u can ve
@kailylane153 yes indeed! I've always been one of those people who didn't believe in depression or anxiety turns out that's exactly what I have 😂 thanks again on the feedback and support! Finally accepting I need that in my life.
@katerinanakley2, it’s totally normal to feel crazy... I did too my poor husband. You s I have a baby girl around the same age idk about you but there’s some days I just feel like I can’t do life anymore and want to scream... she’s so busy and I’m so exhausted plus the stress of life I get it girl. Don’t be afraid at all to speak up to your doctor you’ll have more energy and you will feel better for both of your babies.. I’m here for you if you ever need a friend :)
Remember stress and depression and anxiety and all that bad stuff affects the baby so mama needs to take care of herself first to make sure the baby is 100%
@kailylane153 that's good to hear! Congrats and thanks. I believe my mother was on those so that is probably what they will give me. Cause I am so tired of feeling crazy!
I’m on Prozac it works so good for my depression! It helps a lot with my anxiety and just stress in general makes you more level headed. I’m on 30 mg they started me out and the end of my first trimester with 20mg and they also gave me a dose of Ativan for bad panic attacks but I havnt even taken one of those! But there is little or no risk at all this is my second baby I’ll have being on anti depressants and she’s very healthy so far.
@0711_sandra well they told me SSRI are safe during pregnancy butbi have a 1yr old and I don't want to be zombie mom lol how did yours make you feel. Side effects?
@mommytonayeliz my ob and therapist give the ok on those things. I'm more so curious as to how people feel when they take them.
Yes talk to your doctor. I was taking mine during my pregnancy after talking to my doctor and my baby turned out more than perfect 😊 I think it's also about what kind of anti depressant you take.
@katerinanakley2 aww okay well yeah if its gonna help u with ur mental health i say go for it ! u need to have a right mind
@katerinanakley2 I have and had no side effects. I really needed them back then too so I was thankful to have them
