You are not alone. I have suffered from depression for the last decade. I now have a 4 year old son whom I love more than anything. But it was a really rough pregnancy and I definitely had PPD, which is a lot different than regular depression. I was lucky to have gotten pregnant our first month trying but it was a really rough road. I was on and off so many meds and went throughwithdrawls twice. Seem help now before it gets worse. You want to be as stable as possible before you get pregnant cuz the hormones will drive you nuts all on their own. Hang in there!!!

I suffer from Bipolar and I am 12 weeks pregnant. My doctor has said that I need to come off my medication because it can harm the baby but I sometimes feel that my mind is slowly taking control of me again. Little things I just blow out of proportion and it's terrible because my partner has never known me not be on my meds. You are definitely not alone, it took us 4 months to conceive baby #1 and now I feel like I am settling into my pregnancy as my hormones are stabilizing. x

I suffer from anxiety and depression. For months I thought I wanted another baby and now that it is a possibility my anxiety has gone through the roof because I am scared! I want to go back on my meds but I wont until I know for sure what is going on with me. I have no one to talk to because my mom has alzheimers and my husband gets mad at me when I get upset because I do it so often. I am also seeing a counselor. So please know you are not alone! Heck its 5 in the morning here and I have been tossing and turning for hours and peeing on sticks!
