Anti anxiety meds during pregnancy

Manda

Hi all,

I’m currently going through a rough patch both in pregnancy and in life.

I was diagnosed with mild anxiety/depression when I was 18 but that was almost 10 years ago.

I’m currently 13w2d with my rainbow baby. I can feel myself getting more and more anxious as the days leading up to ultrasounds. Its affecting my daily life and I constantly feel like I’m going to have a panic attack.

The depression comes from something I’m dealing with in my marriage. We have hit a rough patch and while we are seeking out counseling, I don’t know if that will be enough especially as my hormones fluctuate during pregnancy.

Would it be wrong of me to ask my dr to put me on a low dose of anti anxiety/anti depressant? I’m just kind of struggling through the days but I also don’t want any harm to come to my baby girl. Any insight would be so helpful!
