If people see a young girl with a baby…they look at her with disdain…or ridicule. I always thought that was funny..because her OTHER option is abortion..and if she goes through with that..what has she accomplished? Living in misery with her shame, not being able to tell ANYONE, having people bash her for that?
Then there are other women in general who are completely RIPPED apart about their pregnancies or abortions. As if it’s NOT bad enough being a woman without being pregnant…now..we hold the blame for pregnancy and ANY decision regarding it….yet SOOOOOO many women I know are abused and exploited…they are pressured into an abortion and violated in the WORST WAY POSSIBLE. No one lends them a hand when they need the support. It’s not enough to say “She should have been strong…things will work out…adoption…etc.”. I don’t think some people understand how mentally vulnerable you are when you are pregnant…I know….It was AMAZING how vulnerable I was…looking back on it..I couldn’t believe how weak I was…it’s SCARY..especially when you don’t have ANY support AND someone pressuring you. I have seen the strongest women taken advantage of. By family…men…clinics…etc. But what makes it the absolute WORST is that the people who bash women are…OTHER WOMEN. How sad is this? It breaks my heart. Women go through SO much & we waste our time being hateful and hypocritical.
I take both of these medications for severe anxiety and depression. It is an absolute medical necessity for me. I am considering getting pregnant in a few years, as my wedding is in October. My ob/gyn told me today that neither of those medications should be taken during pregnancy. Ideally I would like to not take anything during pregnancy, but I am pretty sure that may not be plausible as I have a history of horrible panic attacks and hospitalization due to psychiatric symptoms. I have been stable for several years now on medication and haven’t been hospitalized in 12 years.
Has anyone here taken these drugs during pregnancy? What happened, if so?
have been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and have been on meds. (lexapro) for a few years now. The meds. seemed to be helping me for a couple of year but I noticed when I first became pregnant with my daughter about 2 years ago that during my 2nd trimester and throughout my pregnancy my anxiety got better. By the end of my first pregnancy my neck tension and panic attacks totally disappeared (and I have anxiety pretty bad). When I was postpartum I noticed within a few days after giving birth my anxiety came back full force and slightly worse than before I had became pregnant.
Shortly after I had my daughter almost 3 months after I had her I became pregnant again with my son. I am recently still recovering from having him only a couple months ago and noticed as soon as I had him that my anxiety came back. When I was in the hospital recovering my anxiety reached its worse and now that its been a couple months later I noticed my neck tension coming back extremely bad and my anxiety has worsened. I went back on my lexapro after having quit it completely when I was pregnant with my son but it seems to not be helping at all…my psychiatrist prescribed me a muscle relaxer and it still doesn’t seem to be helping with my neck tension and even though I’ve uped the dosage of my lexapro my anxiety is still horrible…=(
Mood Swings from sad, upset, depressed to happiness and high sex drive with a lot of Possesiveness is traits I am seeing in my wife since she has been pregnant. I can make jokes and she wants to twist my ear in public; pinch and hit but if she makes similar or the same jokes with me I’m pretty cool. She is often hard to read. I don’t know what to say or do but I do know she wants to stay married and she loves me.
I am not a very emotional person but at this moment (11 weeks preggo), I am like in a roller coaster of emotions. Sometimes I feel up and okay….and there r times when I feel so down and just cry.
I am presently still dealing with my heartbreak – breaking up with my baby’s father and him accusing me of deliberately getting myself pregnant.
I am just worried that my depression can affect my baby. Has other women felt this? And can depression heighten the risk of a miscarriage?
Product Description Postpartum depression is the most common complication women experience after childbirth — nearly 700,000 new moms suffer from it each year. Yet this serious mood disorder, characterized by sadness, anxiety, feelings of hopelessness and guilt, insomnia, and thoughts of harming the baby or oneself, continues to be widely misunderstood and frequently misdiagnosed. In Postpartum Depression Demystified, renowned PPD authority Joyce Venis and Suzanne McCloskey, both PPD… More >>

Is this normal? Are my hormones going crazy? I feel like I’m in a blur. Also, I think it may be post-partum depression. I feel like I have no support hardly and I had issues prior to being pregnant mentally. I think I suffered from seasonal anxiety disorder. I am not going to commit suicide and might have considered it during pregnancy but am now past it, whether it is better or just pushed away, I’m not sure. Does anyone have any insight into this feeling or bluriness and just overall loss of appetite? Might I have depression or is it hormones?
