Mental health before conception.

[Cbuscus]

Just curious if anyone had mental health issues before they conceived and how they are coping through pregnancy.

I have always had depression since a teenager. I have two daughters and sometimes its hard. I have just found out pregnant 5 weeks now. Had miscarriage in my first pregnancy then had two girls but 2nd miscarriage in feb and now stressed it will happen again. I have to decrease anti depressants before stopping ans I am worried.

I have anxiety and depression and only took my meds when needed and have contours to only tale them when needed. I also started counseling when I found out that I'm pregnant.

I have a mental health disorder.  I take medication, luckily just one, to stabilize my mood. I'm fortunate that I've found it to be very effective.  My pregnancy had been great, and no issues with my moods. We all have something to deal with.  Just have to deal with it best you can.  Congrats to all you mommies:)

Anxiety & depression. Took myself off medication when pregnant with our first child (she's 18months now) refused the refills after breastfeeding. It's tough. I'm nervous a lot! Being pregnant & having a toddler. When we brought bub #1 home I had a lot of trouble being paranoid about leaving her in her bassinet to sleep ect but it gets better :) I get compliments from my family friends & strangers on what a patient loving mummy I am so through pregnancy & beyond you will adapt its part of being a mummy :)

After I had my stillbirth delivery they sent me to a psychiatrist who informed me I have ocd ppd ptsd anxiety panic disorder insomnia that got even worse. By law she said I'm mentally disposable but functional. And put me on all sorts of meds. I thought they were helping but my SO told me, I wasn't there anymore. I didn't care about anything including him. I fell far behind on all my bills my vehicle even got repoed. I stopped taking them. Life is harder to handle. But I think of my son. And I want to make him proud. I want to be string for my baby in heaven watching me. I'm pregnant again. And scared out of my mind. But I am happy I'm off all the medication. I am happy I am here.

I was on anti depressants before I conceived I honestly think that they helped me too as I was told that I would never have a child and been ttc for 7 years - ill be honest I haven't found it easy however when u feel ur little miracle moving around it makes a difference my little princess makes me smile when I feel down x
