Is my anxiety bad for my baby?

Question

I talked to my doctor about taking medicine when I first found out I was pregnant but I didn’t like the idea of taking medicine when my baby is growing inside of me I know there are safe medicines but I didn’t like to. I’m 28 weeks now and my anxiety is getting worse it comes out of nowhere and I struggle with stopping it I’m worried for when I actually have birth. Idk what to do right now or when the time comes. Is it affecting my baby?

Answer

So I was working with my psychiatrist who said that women who deal with depression/ anxiety and are not treated are more likely to have children who also experience this. Because of the fact the stress that these things put your body under also effect the baby. Your baby is trying to prepare for the real world. So, if your doc put you on something, and knows your pregnant, it is probably, most likely safe. Tell them how you are feeling though because they might need to adjust your dose.
Also, my psychiatrist told me NOT to stop an antidepressant/ anxiety Med abruptly because it can be VERY bad for the baby and sometimes cause miscarriage- so it’s better to ween off of it. 
I hope this is helpful. And remember that your baby does need to be under SOME stress or later in their life, they won’t know how to handle it. If you have questions, just talk to your doc :)

Answer

Your fine. Quit thinking negative about everything all the time, your doctor isn’t going to give you something that isn’t safe.
