WOULD THIS CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS DURING PREGNANCY? PLEASE ANSWER!! :)?
I would really love to have a child in my near future, but I have some issue’s that I fear may cause me some complications…I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks, depression, & hypochondria. I take medication for anxiety/depression, & go to counseling for it as well, along with my hypochondria. My blood pressure tends to go up when I’m under stress, so this is also another issue I’m concerned about…Like I said, I’d really love to have my own child, but do you think all of this would be too much for me to handle? (mentally)…I don’t really have that much trouble with depression, & here lately I’ve been doing pretty good with my anxiety/panic attacks, but I fear ANY type of problem during my pregnancy may trigger it, or make my depression worse…..Any good advice?.

That is a most unusal question, but I do have a suggestion… I will gladly loan you my 2 wild kids and if you last a week, I’ld say you have a pretty good chance of doing anything you like in life…
Hey there. My mom had a problem very similar to yours. She went along with having the baby because my dad sat down with her and told her that if any problems to arise, they won’t be anything that he can’t handle. Don’t worry. If you decide to go with having the baby, make sure you have someone with you almost all the times, just to be safe. Just think about after having the baby, it’s the most miracelous day of your life. It was for me, when my brother was born, and I’m just watching!
Good luck.
people had children ages and ages ago when medication wasn’t available. people have always had these sorts of poblems. now days technology is so advanced-there are ways to deal with problems like you mention.
there is no such thing as a pregngncy without stress. some people may have more stress than others, but all do to a certain extent.
i think this is a question you need to discuss with a doctor. you might be considered a high risk pregnancy, but with that you are just monitered more closely.
keep your head up and think positive. what’s meant to be will be….good luck!
Just to add to the other answers:
1. Make sure your medications are safe during pregnancy, and find out if you will be able to breast feed with them or not (just so you know).
2. Make sure you have a great support group around you (your husband, your mom, your friends).
3. Keep someone elses kids a while. This will not definitive test, but it will give you more things to think about. (A small house dog is another good test. Can you be a good mommy to a dog?)
4. Keep in mind that a new baby is almost a 24/7 job. (At least it is for us.)
Another thing, we waited to have our first in our early 30s. We wanted to make sure we were “well adjusted” mentally, emotionally and financially before making the commitment. I don’t recommend this route for everyone, but it has been the best choice for us.
Good luck.
