I’m almost 11 weeks pregnant…I have no one to help me through my problems right now…I think I might need medicine to help treat this problem because I have cried everyday for the past 1 1/2 months. Can someone please tell me what to do…I can go see the ob doctor yet because Im still waiting to be approved for medicaid and my first apt isn’t until the end of the month…I think i might need some medication to help treat this do i go to a regular doctor for this?
I believe the depression is coming about because everyone is wanting me to get an abortion but I’m wanting to keep the baby and I really have no support. I’m 24 about to graduate from college but I might be doing it alone.

what types of antidepressants are good for depression when you are pregnant? that are safe and wont harm the baby? im looking for answers from people with experience dealing with a pregnancy counselor who felt like they needed meds for it too.

I’m 20 wks pregnant, today we was suppose to be finding out what we was having, and have our first ultrasound.. I’m on passport.. When I got to my dr.s office she looked up at me and told me I can’t be seen today unless I have 200 hundred dollars for my ultrasound, I asked why and started to freak out.. Today was a special day for me and my family. This is my first baby.. After constantly crying I called passport myself I was signed up for a 3 month passport that lasted from Feb-April, but in March I went and signed up for the real deal passport/Medicaid. Instead of “fusing” the temp passport and full term passport they canceled it.. She told me it would be reinstated within 24-48 hours.. So I had to make my ultrasound scheduled. 9 days from today.. I know I will still get it, but I’m so upset over it.. I cried all the way out the door, all the way home, I cried myself to sleep, woke up with bad dreams crying about that baby.. I went pee crying, and ate my dinner crying..
Everyone keeps saying my depression is bad, but I think it’s their fault that I’m so upset about this..
Should I mention this to my Dr when I see her and get on some medication? I looked it up, and there is depression medication for pregnancy.

I am 22 weeks pregnant with a long history of depression. I was on antidepressants from the age of 14 until just a few months ago. When I found out I was pregnant I was on a low dose of Emsam (antidepressant) but figured I’d rather be safe than sorry and hurt my baby with a medication that has an “unknown risk to fetus” I weaned myself off of the meds and have been med free for about 3 months now. I was feeling GREAT, like a brand new person, almost convinced that I didn’t need antidepressants anymore EVER. BUT recently, like for the past few weeks I feel a deep sorrow. As if someone I love died or something was terribly wrong, except there is nothing wrong. I know this feeling of frustration and inability to enjoy life all to well and I’m so upset that IT (depression) is back. I am afraid of postpartum depression and wondering if I should go back on meds or if there is some other way to fight this. I HATE it .. and always have… I’d rather be physically ill than deal with this monster that keeps visiting me since i was a young adult… help please.. I don’t want to harm my baby but what can I do.. or is this maybe just hormonal/ normal side-effect of pregnancy that will pass?

I’m late on my period by over a week and last month I only got it for 2 days or so, but every home pregnancy test I take comes back negative. I’m on a new medication for depression and since it hasn’t been out long no one knows how it works with pregnant women. I don’t have insurance so I don’t want to go in to the ob/gyn unless I’m fairly certain I am pregnant. Does anyone know anything about this?

i have always had a history of mental health conditions i have depression and ocd but i have never been on medication because my parents didn’t believe in that sort of thing. while i have been pregnant i have been so depressed and anxious. i can’t even sleep and at 26 weeks i have started losing weight my boy friend of a few years, the father, said to me yesterday that i had changed so much over the past year and how im just sad all the time i know it hurts him to see me cry for no real reason so i try to hide it in front of him. im just wondering if it will get any worse after i give birth, are there any depression medications that are safe with breastfeeding. i am talking to my doctor of coarse just wanted some suggestions. Thanks

What are the chances of getting postpartum depression?
If you’ve had clinical depression, what are the chances of getting postpartum depression, or depression during pregnancy?
Does postpartum depression ever require medication?
How long do the symptoms of PPD last, and how can it be prevented/ dealt with?
Thaanks!

Here is the problem, I am 36 weeks pregnant and up til recently I have been very excited about having a baby but that seems to be changing. Recently I have been having feelings of regret over the pregnancy, and sometimes I feel like I don’t want my baby at all. I know that sounds horrible to say and believe me, I don’t want to be feeling like this, I just can’t seem to help it. I have told my doctor about it and he thought it was just pregnancy related depression so he put me on medication about a month ago. I still haven’t noticed a difference though and I am worrying that it will get worse after the baby is born. The last thing I would ever want to do is take my feelings out on my baby. Has anyone out there ever had similar feelings? And if so, did they get worse or better after the baby?

I’m 37 weeks pregnant and am quite afraid of the effects of the medication on the baby. I have called mother risk a number of times. They specialize in studying medications like this and the effects on the baby and they say it is the most prescribed and has less severe effects on the baby than depression does. So I have my information. I have had any medical professional in my life advise me to stay on as well.

I’m just curious about real experiences people have had and how their babies are.

I am 2 months late, but I took 4 over the counter test and they all came out negitive.
I’m on prozac for depression,xanix and seroquil for sleep, and on hyperthyroid medication. Can the meds affect the pregnanct test?
Thanks!
