We just got a positive digi yesterday and I am wide awake in the middle of the night panicked. I have had issues with depression over the past few years and with my doctor I decided to be safe and continue to take antidepressants if I get pregnant. I am glad that I am taking the meds. So now I am filled with anxiety, most of which I am sure is the normal range of emotions, but I don't really know what to do to get myself calmed down. I am usually a good sleeper so being up in the middle of the night worrying about feeling crappy etc is not good so early on. Anyone out there that has issues with depression and anxiety? Any tips?

Do you have a therapist you can go talk to? I think staying on antidepressants is a good idea, but it's always nice to have someone to go talk to. Getting counseling definitely helped me through a very anxiety-filled period in my life.

Oh...and CONGRATS!

I have generalized anxiety disorder and major depression. I'm currently talking to a therapist once a week and it really helps. I haven't taken medication yet but I will soon.

I don't blame you for being anxious about the pregnancy. I would talk to the doctor about taking anti depressants meds that is safe for pregnancy.

click on abc which meds u use and see if it's safe or not. Always contact doc for double check before taking anything during pregnancy.

Congrats again!

Congrats on your BFP!! I don't have any info on the medication, but I would go ahead and give an OBGYN or midwife a call today and I'm sure they'll give you lots of good info. Welcome to the grads!
