I'm planning on going back onto medication for depression and anxiety as it's got much worse since being pregnant. I think after your first trimester any defects people claim pills can cause are massively decreased because your baby is developed much more. Just go through all options with your doctor first and any cons of pills you may take. Ask to see a counsellor as well as that may help as well.

He was very good and after a couple of meetings he prescribed me with medication for what he called a chemical imbalance in my brain that caused depression. The meds worked and I definitely wasn't as sad most of the time. So for seven years I've taken meds. More recently I've started to feel, emotionless and even angry (on the inside). Im not suicidal like I was in middle school, but I definitely don't feel good.

It is worse to have untreated depression during pregnancy than to take medication. I tried and things got outta control quickly. After discussions with my ob and a pediatrician , I am on a low dose of medication. It has made a world of difference especially dealing with my kids n husband. Keep talking to anyone who'll listen and telling your Dr how u really feel. If Dr won't listen and u can't change talk to the office manager . just keep telling them till someone listens.
I have been dealing with depression throughout my pregnancy as well. I refuse to go on medication because I had a family member try to commit suicide last year due to their depression medication so I've been really having a rough time but my boyfriend helps a lot by just talking me through how I'm feeling and trying to find things to help cheer me up even though its hard. You're not alone! Its definitely tough. My little baby boy is the only thing that keeps me going some days.

Hey i have been suffering from Depression and im 5 months pregnant the doctors say it can get worse after the baby gets here ive been prescribed Sertraline but i don't know how it will affect the baby.. should i take the medication or is it too much of a risk?
Yes there are potential concerns such as post partum depression and also the general concerns of the symptoms of what medication is not treating returning in genera when medication is not taken. Also pregnancy can temporarily worsen symptoms of bipolar. However all of this should be discussed with a doctor such as an OB-GYN.
Depression is definitely normal during pregnancy because of all the extra hormones you are producing. You need to talk to your doctor ASAP and let them know you have a history of depression, this way they can put you on meds. Your depression might also get worse after you give birth so do something about it now. This way the meds will be in your system and working by then. The stress and depression isn't just bad for you, it's bad for baby as well.
