Tales of anxiety: can I have medication during pregnancy?

[Anonymous]

Thank you so much for asking. OP here.

My doctor actually had an anxiety/depression screener for me to fill out. I’ve never saw one at a pregnancy appointment, only after the baby was born. So it made it easy to talk about it, not that I was nervous to do so. I was visibly anxious leading up to the ultrasound anyway, so she probably suspected it.

She was super kind, and Rx busiprone. I’m even more pleased that she’s having me back in 2 weeks to check on me, which I thought was kind and thoughtful!
So many doctors throw a Rx at you and never check back!
