lol yes! I am four months post partum from my daughter. TTC number three! I was on xanax and they allowed me to go on Valium as well. I can relate I felt so awful my last pregnancy. I saw a high risk doctor. Eveything turned out fine too. My best advice to you is make sure someone listens to you. Tell them you can't function. I know because this is how my story goes. Depression anxiety. Plus it worsens with pregnancy. I want to get them over with to be honest. But there all different. Maybe this go round we will be happy happy pregnant women. Lol. You never know. If you want to ask me anything I'd be more than happy to help you with it. Other people that don't struggle I find don't get why you HAVE to take meds while pregnant. My dr said anti depressants fall in basically same category. My daughter had no extra hospital stay either.

I was on medication when I was pregnant for major depression and anxiety I really could not function with out it and still cant. I felt horrible about being on them. My son was born just fine no complications.

Thanks for sharing this question. I have been wondering about this subject. I am not on medication, but I would probably benefit from them for anxiety. My anxiety worsened about the time I decided to try for first baby. I was more anxious about being on anxiety meds while pregnant! Go figure! Anyways, the best of luck to you! I'm sure you will have a healthy baby and hope you have a happy pregnancy.
