  • @jjg2020 Welcome! I've been a Headspace user for a few years. They have a nice pregnancy meditation series, I recommend!
  • @mimser I downloaded headspace (since it's free for healthcare providers right now) and haven't tried it just yet. Excited to hear the pregnancy series is a good one! I need to make time for it!

  • I also take antidepressants and am trying to go off of them, but it has been really difficult. I talk to my doctor about it tomorrow, and I just hope we can figure something out. Do any of you have that issue as well? I know some of the medications I take are not good for the baby, but off of them I am a wreck, so I'm quite nervous about the next eight months or so. Anyway, I'm excited to be here and to get to know you all - especially during this time of self-isolation!
    I take Zoloft for anxiety and have since after my daughter was born (back in 2018), and I plan to continue taking it unless there's an issue that the OB takes with it; my GP didn't see an issue. Unfortunately, I had to drop my ADHD medication when I got my IUD out, and that sucks. The Adderall did much, much more for my emotional regulation and overall balance, whereas Zoloft basically keeps me from spiraling as deep when it does happen. I'm very much looking forward to getting back on medication when pregnancy is done. 

    I know that choosing to take meds and how to take them is really specific and personal, but that's my experience. You're definitely not alone in balancing meds and pregnancy and all that. <3

    I am not a natural contributor online - I second guess what I type & most of the time, I end up deleting it. I'm going to try to do better this time! 
    Hard same, lol; I do a lot of like, "Oh, I don't need to contribute to this" or "Does my opinion really add to this?" and it takes a while for me to get comfortable enough to not do that.

  • @csardaszz I'm an SLP in MI and pregnant with my first too! What type of setting do you work in?

    I work in skilled nursing facilities, plus I have a private practice where I do accent modification for people speaking English as a second language. What about you?

    Wow! Accent modification, cool! I would love to open a private practice. I also work in SNF's and at a private pediatric outpatient clinic. 
  • @lac3y welcome!!! I had an SCH, it lasted from about 4 weeks to 8 weeks and finally resolved. It was definitely worrisome (I had bleeding because of it) but my OB assured me that it wouldn't hurt my little bean and just kept me on pelvic rest for a couple weeks (no sex or heavy lifting). I'd be happy to chat with you more about it and share my experience, let me know if you have any questions!
  • @lac3y I have (had?) a SCH with this pregnancy -- it got gnarly enough in the bleeding department that I actually went the ER at one point around 8 weeks, so I feel you on the nerves. 

    So far everything has been good with the wee baby; it sounds like, from what my doc was saying, it's one of those things that isn't inherently dangerous and just needs time to heal in most cases. I've been on pelvic rest and no lifting since said ER visit, and will hopefully be cleared for pelvic duty at my Wednesday appointment because good lort. It's been ages.
