Prenatal Anxiety/Depression
So I've suffered with anxiety and depression for a good portion of my life, been on and off anti depressants and in and out of therapies. I suffered PPD with my first (though it seems to me, now being more educated, that it was more like post partum anxiety).
I stopped my latest course of anti depressants a couple weeks before I found out I was pregnant this time.
About halfway through I started getting a little more irritable/anxious, but it has really ramped up now (I'm 30 weeks). I find myself going into L&D for stupid reasons (that I find valid at the time and then everything's good and I feel like a loser for going in). I'm definitely getting shorter with my almost two year old, and going insane wanting to nest and prepare (but can't buy/do anything till the end of the month). I'm getting really anxious about the birth (my daughter was born super fast) and especially the post partum period. Actually I'm dreading that part.
My mood has also been really low the past week (or slightly less) and I've been feeling really exhausted.
I'll be talking to my doctor about how I'm feeling tomorrow, but I'm not willing at all to take anti depressants during pregnancy. Any homeopathic/alternative methods you ladies reccomend?
