Desperate for some help or advice. Something .. please.
4 months PP I was diagnosed with PPD/PPA and I also had the rage included within that. I took the option of meds and I changed back to myself and I was so happy again. 2 months later, I find out I’m pregnant again. I stop the meds because I’m scared it’s going to harm my baby and I’m now struggling more than ever. I’m crying every single day. I am so sad. I am so angry at everything and my poor partner is getting the stick of all of this. My doctor tells me she prefers women to take the meds at 12 weeks of pregnancy and not before.. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO? I’m honestly worried I’m going to feel like this forever. I want to be the best mum I physically can to my little boy but I’m constantly crying. Someone please help me? Has anyone had experience of being on the meds whilst pregnant? I don’t want to harm my baby but I’m also really really struggling. I feel absoutley trapped. Thank you for reading so far xx

Idk what meds you were on but I've been on my anti depressant since 2012 and this is the 3rd pregnancy I've been on while taking it. I did need to stop my adhd and bipolar meds. There are meds that are safe while pregnant. Your obgyn should be able to help you out with that. Good luck, feel better
Hello ! Talk to your OB ! I know plenty of women that have taken medication throughout pregnancy! Good luck and sending positive thoughts your way.
