fefee Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 From last post you probably read I just got married and now trying for a baby . I wanted to ask mum on hear advice on how ocd effects you during pregnancy and how to keep mentally healthy. What support is available and just general please Link to comment
joanne123 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I was really bad with my first pregnancy as I came off my meds and had no support only from my husband who was great. My second pregnancy was so much better and easier as I had 20mg of fluoxetine and I just wish I had known I could of have had it with my first girl because I would never go through pregnancy without it again not that I want anymore lol x Link to comment
Guest messihead Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 My ocd has been horrendous I am 5 months pregnant and not nice at all... I did not want to take medication also through my pregnancy. But ocd and pregnancy have not went well together for me. Link to comment
joanne123 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 A lot of people don`t want to take medication through pregnancy which is obviously personal choice but the doc told me the stress of the ocd can be worse for the baby than having medication x Link to comment
Guest nicolam381318 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I took 50 mg sertraline during my second pregnancy, but I didn't start it until 16 weeks or so. Link to comment
