I feel myself slippin into a deep depresshion,i want to cut myself i pray for death.Im 18 wks pregnant an don't think meds are safe i used, to take zoloft an smoke weed.my ex told me i did not need to take the zoloft so i stoped an when i took it again it made me sick.that was before i got preg.im scared to talk to a dr.they might take my other baby an lock me away.i would never hurt my babys just myself.im scared of my own thought im scared of myself.

Plz.don't bash me i hate myself enough without any help from others.


I took a long walk an got my thought in order an talked to myself a little. I called a friend an ask if she can an will take me to my dr.i can walk in. So as soon as she can she is takin me. I feel better already. I still resisted smokin an that alone gave me pride in myself. Thank you all for the great advice.

I am so sorry you are feeling this way. You really need to talk to someone. Maybe even just a friend. HUGS.

No, I have a very healthy 9 year old sister.

There is no harm in seeking help, sweetie. Maybe your Doctor a referral to speak to someone. Women can get depressed when pregnant, and you should not have to suffer through it. *hugs* to you...... if you ever need to talk, PM me.

Did the meds hurt her baby?

Quoting mylovey:

Go see your Doctor. My step-mom took antidepressants when she was pregnant, because it was considered necessary. I think there are some things you can take, so please make an appointment.

You need to talk to a psychiatrist ASAP.

 You are a sacred vessel that your baby is growing in.  Treat it well.  Get a pedicure.  eat some chocolate and I HATE HATE HATE smoking and drugs but I think you should smoke a joint.  I heard a little isnt going to make much of an impact on the baby.

Red wine one glas will actually help replenish ur red blood cells so ive heard while ur prego

Quoting Cara5:

A (as in ONE) glass of wine wont hurt your baby, but I dont think one glass of wine will really make you feel any better. 

Get some help. They wont take your baby for feeling depressed.  I struggle with depression and I HATE taking meds.  Some of the things I do to pull myself out of a funk when I feel one coming on is  to go for a walk... it sounds silly, but get outside in the sunlight, even if you just walk in circles around the block with the baby bundled up in the stroller.   Challenge yourself to pick out 5 beautiful things while your walking. 

Google "Free tourist things to do in ______" and pretend to be from out of town!  Go do something fun you wouldnt normally do!

Get a cheap guitar at a thrift store and take youtube lessons.  Itll keep your hands and your mind busy and might entertain your little one.  

Reach out, get support.  I think more of us deal with this than you would think, and more of us should talk openly about dealing with depression.

Make a Dr. appointment, they won't take your child away for trying to do the right thing. You can't help the way you feel. It is best to get the help you need BEFORE the baby comes so it won't get any worse and you can be a happy mama. Hang in there!! You can overcome this.

Look up Melanie Dreher. She did an anthropological study on smoking weed while pregnant. Then smoke some weed once she's put your mind at ease. Also you can take St Johns Wort while pregnant. And asking for help now won't get cps involved. <3

I was taken off of zoloft when i became pregnant but i was given some other weird named thing that was safe for me an baby wile pregnant just talk to your doc about it....

[bellanoelsmom]

I used to cut myself during a very dark period of my life. Physical pain was easier than emotional pain I was suffering. Please ask dr for help. That's why they are there. Also pot stays in your system for about a month. They will not take your baby away for what you told us. Good luck!

They don't take babies for testing poositive for weed. I never had to deal with that since my midwife doesn't think she can tell me what to do. Your ob will tell you not to do it, but that's all she can and will do.
