[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a lot of anxiety - I had two miscarriages and then multiple IVF cycles and was super anxious by the time I was finally pregnant. Not surprisingly, I had post partum anxiety and depression as well. When my oldest was about 2 months old I started taking sertraline/zoloft which works super well for me and I was relieved to learn that it is one of the safest medications pregnant and breastfeeding moms.  I went off it after a year, had a second child (much more relaxed this time even without medication) and started taking it again after he was born. I had a much easier time with my second and wish that I had taken the zoloft earlier with first.

I would definitely have a conversation about your anxiety with your OB, who can also prescribe meds for you if needed. If your OB is dismissive at all I would recommend seeing a psychiatrist while you are still pregnant, so you have someone you can turn to once the baby is here.

I would also recommend looking into a support group for new moms like PACE - https://www.pacemoms.org. It's a great way to meet other new moms and get advice and support. Best wishes to you <3[/quote]

Awesome! I appreciate you sending that support group along. [/quote]
