I have been way stressed the last few months with school and stuff, could that potientally cause a ept to test positive… Please let me know!

I have been pro-abortion all of my life. but never would have thought of actually testing my beliefs personally.

i just found out last night that i am 4 weeks pregnant. i am currently 20 yrds and taking anti-depressants, anti-anxiety and anti-psychotics for multiple reasons such as manic depression agoraphobia, self mutilation, GAD, for just a few.
my decision has been to termintate the pregnancy. not only for my self but for my fiance (who is behind me 100%) and has two years of college to go untill he gets his degree.

my choice is not easy i have been upset and crying the entire time, but i am mentally unable to take care of a baby. i have been in the hospital many times this past year for failed suicide attempts and for the self mutulation. both me and my fiance is living with my parents and mooching off of them for food and even cash every now and again. we cannot even sustain a life for us let alone a baby.
why i did not choose adoption. if i am off my meds i get very depressed and suicidal. my anxiety peaks and i have many panic attacks. carrying the pregnancy to full term i dont doubt will kill me, and the child.
this is a decision that i have already made for my self, my soon to be husband and our children that we plan to have when we can support our selves. And very importantly when my depression anxiety and self mutilation is in better control. i am hurting my sister very much (only other soul that knows what i am doing) for she is strongly anti-abortion with 3 little ones of her own. yet i feel very confidant when she told me that she understands that my medical issues must be taken care of prior to having a child.

Since the beginning of my 2nd trimester i have felt very sad and depressed. I don’t think about hurting myself or anything, just really sad. Like i don;t know what i am doing. How do i prepare for this baby? I am scared to talk to my doctor for fear that she would call social services or something. I had that happen before when i was a child, went to a therapist said i was depressed so they called social services. I have always suffered from depression since i hit puberty. but never medicated. I don’t know if its possible to have Post par tum depression while pregnant, or just my hormones. another reason i don’t want to talk to my doctor is that i was raised very old fashioned by my grandmother who taught me not to say anything about depression to anyone. Just deal with i. my question is, is it normal to feel depressed and lonely during pregnancy, even with a husband around to support you??

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.

I miscarried almost 3 months ago but my sadness seems to be getting worse and worse. I am seeing a therapist which I’m sure will help slowly, but I just can’t seem to stop feeling empty and upset. When I get sad I get bad headaches and my stomach starts to hurt (similar to when I get VERY stressed). In addition, I am having horrible nightmares and difficulty sleeping. I am having serious emotional and sexual issues, and my stomach turns when my boyfriend touches any part of my lower abdomen (where the baby was). Is there any way to know if this is still hormones? It just seems like the pain is increasing but I don’t want to go on antidepressants unless I am sure this is all emotional. Thanks.
I miscarried when I was about 19 weeks along if that is relevant.

Well spoke to my doctor and he told me to express my feelings of depression to him (my husband)…but when i did that it turned into an argument and he thinks i’m just insecure. I tried explaining to him that i need him to help me and support me for a healthly pregnancy…at my wits end…

So i am 31 weeks and i have been kind of depressed since i conceived, i had alot of mood swings early on but thought my depression must be going away now that i am not so moody but lately i have been so well for lack of a better word numb to everything, i am so stressed and sad all the time.
I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety about 3 years ago but have not seen a therapist for almost 2 years since i was no longer having problems. I am wondering if this is just pregnancy hormones or if i should talk to my doctor about it. Is it seriouse , and does anyone one know iof this could increase my risk of postpartum depression.
I have an appointment tomorrow but i dont want to bring it up if it is not even seriouse.

P.S. i know you all are not doctors i just want other womens opinions on this.

Pregnancy can be one of the most joyous times in a woman’s life. It is also a time when all attention is focused on maintaining optimal health. For women with chronic asthma, maintaining adequate asthma control during pregnancy is of particular importance. Poorly controlled asthma may compromise the health of both mother and baby, and complicate labor and delivery.

I have anxiety, and Im about six weeks along. This is my first pregnancy, and while it was not planned, I am very worried about miscarriage. Is there any words of advice to ease my mind about this constant worry of mine? I went in last week and my levels were increasing the way they were supposed to, Im just very worried something is going to happen. Has anyone else experienced this constant worry? How did you deal with that?
