[quote=Anonymous]Please work with a psychiatrist. Depending on where you live I can recommend mine. She is self pay but she has managed my panic disorder through both of my pregnancies. The good news is that SSRIs are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I just had my second and I take Lexapro and Ativan as needed and did so throughout my pregnancy. With a mood disorder it’s very likely you will suffer some degree of PPD or PPA but involving your psych early will help manage it. Mine was well managed this time (with my first the guidance was still to drop SSRIs during the 3rd trimester and it was horrible) and my PPA was minimal. Good luck! You can do this and it will be ok. But you need a psych who specializes in or is knowledgeable about pregnancy and hormonal changes.[/quote]
