I do know some antidepressant are pregnancy safe but my past pregnancies have had outcomes of my children being disabled now how much of it was the med my neonatalogist put me on in 2000 when I was pregnant with my twins then again with my son. So there is my problem of why I am scared to be on a med I don't want to harm the baby but my depression is putting me my husband and baby at harm which is depressing me even more to know I am not benefit anyone with my depression I am just feeling lost at the moment

She didn't sound rude to me but,  I agree with her. I don't think she meant it the way it came out.

I'm not sure.
I'm Would think there is some medicine that would be okay to take while pregnant but I'm not sure!
my sister in law has depression anxiety and multiple personalities and delusional or something like that. Idk but she stopped taking her medicine and they are pissed very regularly but it seems to be helping her a bit.
I hope you could find something that helps you.

First off I want to say is meds do help me I am in therapy this is not my first pregnancy I do know that 99% of meds are not pregnancy safe I am very open and honest with my professionals which includes neonataligist regular obgyn family doctor psychiatrist therapist home visiting nurse and so on. I do not need rude people to put me down trust me I am hard enough on myself if my obgyn or neonatalogist puts me on an antidepressant trust me I will do a crap load of research on the med before taking it my children already born and to be born are my top priority and concern. I thank all the kind people that give me some insight to my problem. God bless you all

I have severe ptsd from the military, bi polar, schizophrenia, and multiple personality disorder. I've been clear off meds for over two years. Meds don't do crap for you if you don't get in to heavy therapy and none of the meds are safe for the baby. Put on your big girl panties and suck it up for that baby. If you have to see a therapist 3 days a week til the baby is born then do it. All the mental stuff wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have something in your past that brought it out so see someone and find out what it is.
