M/C and PPD?!? Seriously I'm a mess.

brittandjoe · October 2011

I just m/c'd baby #2 at 9 wks. My DD is 14 months and I've had PPD since she was born. While pregnant with #2 my emotions were all over the place and I had to stop taking Lexapro. I started using aromatherapy to help with the anxiety only to find out you're not supposed to use the oils during pregnancy. Seriously I think my body is going to fall apart. I'm on autopilot. The stress of PPA and the m/c has caused my body to shut down. And Dh thinks I need to move on from all of it, the m/c, the PPD, everything. And just be optimistic like him. Seriously...

I think you should try to see a counselor, talking did more for me than anything. And what about burning incense? I do that all the time, and I also put drops of lavender oil in those flaxseed pillows you can warm up in the microwave and it really relaxes me.

::Hugs:: It sounds like you are going through a lot right now. From my experience, you never really just move on from a m/c. It was hard for me to deal with and I didn't have PPD.

Can you talk to your doc about getting on something that would be safe incase you do get pg again? Do you have anyone you can talk to? A good friend, or a doctor? If not, try writing down your feelings. It might help to get everything out. Even if you just tear it up & throw it away after you are done.

I hope things start to turn around for you soon.
