Re: Pregnancy
Hi Angie
I'm glad you posted this! I have a daughter (pre-anxiety) and we want to try for another child. I am currently on Seroxat and want to come off because its not good for the baby.
I was wondering how anixety and/or meds affect things. I'm a natural worrier. I guess we all are to some extent and even though I didnt have anxiety before I always dreaded the scans in case something went wrong. Now I am so much more concerned about stuff I wonder how I would cope with the birth. A year after my daughter was born I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks and was devastated. But I know it happens to lots of people who go on to have healthy babies. The risk of loss doesnt stop the strong desire to have a baby. (I'm waffling now)
Still, its good to read your post. Thanks to Jane and Jodie for their reassurance too. We will need AI for any future attempt, and and though we are keeping it as minimal as possible(!), I wonder how I will cope. I feel quite strong at the moment. My life circumstances have improved along with my confidence. But I am still taking seroxat and wonder how I will cope without it!
