When Mari Gallion, an unmarried tour guide in Alaska, discovered she was pregnant, she immediately made the decision to have the baby. What she never expected was the hypocrisy of the movement that condemns a woman’s right to choose while witholding information that could empower single women who had chosen to continue with unplanned pregnancies. In response, Gallion set out to write a guide that offers unconditional assistance to the women who have chosen to take… More >>
Long story short, I am 34 weeks pregnant, and for many years I’ve suffered from depression. It’s episodic so it gets really bad when something happens, like a break up or any sort of big change. Usually I can see the signs coming too. Anyhow all of these episodes were when I was not on my antidepressants because I tend to get better and think I don’t need them anymore.
Since before my pregnancy and all throughout, I’ve been on Zoloft. This past week has been a rough one with my emotions and my mother in law, and I also ran out of Zoloft. I did get more but there were a couple missed doses and days I took one instead of 2.
I have it now, I always seem like I’m alone and nobodys helping, when I know that’s clearly not true. I always think my boyfriends messing around, I don’t know why but it’s just a feeling I keep having and that brings me down a lot. Like I get it mostly when I’m by myself. I always think that I can’t do it, (Don’t tell me I’m going to be a horrible mother because of this either!) and then that makes me rethink being pregnant and it makes me sometimes wish I wasn’t pregnant to begin with, I get scared shitless that I’m going to to do a horrible job and things are going to go wrong. Like today I went over to my little brothers house to see his newborn little brother and his mom kept asking me if I wanted to hold the baby, I couldn’t hold him like I got scared that I was going to drop him. I do realize that I need to get over it.. I’m just wondering if anyone else has ever felt like this? I feel horrible thinking these things.. I really truelly do! I asked my friend she said she feels the same and it’s just the hormones, but how can I get it to go away? It’s driving me crazy and stresses me out and the last thing I want to be is stressed. I find out the sex in a week hopefully. I’ll be 16 weeks tomorrow, and I’ll be 17 weeks and 1 day when I go in find the sex and hoping that they can find it. Cause I know that me being anxious to find out the sex hasn’t really been helping a lot. My mom told me that when she found out the sex that she just started to get ready and she just kept her mind on getting things ready and it helped go away… would that help?
I would really like to know what I can do to make this go away or ease up a little bit. Because I hate feeling like I can’t do this.. and I hate being scared to death about being a mother.. but then I’m so excited to see my little angel for the first time and teach them right from wrong. I couldn’t be more happy that I’m pregnant so don’t get me wrong, I just get in these moods where it completely brings me face down into the dirt.

Nowhere could she find a book geared towards women like herself- successful, independent adults, facing a surprise pregnancy in their later twe… More >>
