Lately i've been fighting depression without medication because of my pregnancy. Things just keep getting worse for me and keep going down hill. I used to turn to marijuana for a coping skill with my depression and yesterday i caved at my lowest point. I ended up smoking and got really sick. I feel utterly guilty and such a shitty person for doing it. I regret it 100% and now i have to live with it everyday now. I wish i wouldve just called someone instead of smoking. Ive been clean for about 5 months and now i screwed it up. It just almost seems like i cant catch a break.

Go to NA meetings I been clean and sober 5 years now. You're a human being and sobriety isn't easy to achieve cold turkey. You need support groups or private counciling. You have to think of your unborn child. The easiest thing to do is give in. If you want sobriety bad enough you'll fight thru the cold sweats the depression the rock bottom feelings bc all those things are temperary. You won't feel that way after 3 months max. Go to a meeting and stop being a victim bc pitty is the worst thing to recieve during this time. I been there before 5 yrs later I'm clean pregnant with my princess and taking my police exam in june

Just try to be careful from here on out. I have no problem with mj in moderation, but don't know the effects on the unborn. We are all here if you need to talk.

When you feel down take a walk even if u don't want to getting outside in the sun will make u feel so much better hang in there. And be very carful if you have the baby with it in your system they can take that baby from you.

the risks of pregnancy and depression meds are smaller than the effects of depression with out meds for the baby...you have to weigh these and talk to your dr. asap...I am on Prozac nd at one point had to up my dose but now in my 2nd trimester I was able to bump it back down.....but i HIGHLY recommend you talking to your ob ASAP and make an appt. now instead of waiting for your next one....hang in there....IMO i think marijuana should be legal but the effects are really not known on the unborn...dont feel guilty...just try to manage your depression in other ways...:)

Don't fight this alone! Talk to your doctor or call a helpline. Good luck!

When you know better, you do better. you now know that it makes you sick and isnt good for the baby (probably already knew that part), so chalk it up to experience learned and dont do it again during your pregnancy or while BF'ing. Hang in there. dealing with depression is hard enough....I cant imagine doing it while pregnant. :-( We're here for you!
