I don't know what to do...

in Pregnant after a Loss
I went to a maternal-fetal specialist for a consult yesterday. I wanted to see if she had any ideas about my previous losses. My last two pregnancies were 16 week fetal demise. No known cause. Once again I was told I had bad luck. Great. She really focused on the fact that I stopped my Paxil when I found out I was pg. I don't want to do anything that could put baby at risk. She said I really need to restart because I looked stressed. I have a long way to go and she kept going back to the antidepressants. It upset me so much. I wanted a plan for this pregnancy, some answers. Nope.Anyone here on antidepressant meds? I am stressed and feel down, but doesn't that go with the territory? I don't know what to do. I know it would help, but I am so afraid of doing something wrong. I am 9.5 weeks. I just wonder if anyone can relate?

    I can't relate, but it wouldn't hurt to get a 2nd opinion.

    I stopped my Lexapro right before we started TTC again.  It was a difficult adjustment but I know that I would be more worried/concerned staying on the meds while pregnant.  I'm no doctor, but I didn't think that Paxil was on the "safe list" to use while pregnant.  Maybe you can go talk to a therapist.  See if there are different techniques that you can try to cope with your depression.

    As far as being stressed and anxious in regards to your pregnancy... that just comes with the PGAL territory.  I think all we can do is stay optimistic and as calm as possible for the LO you have growing inside of you now.

    Get another doctor. Are there other physician's in that group that could see you?  believe me.. they are all not created equal and don't be afraid to be pushy.. don't be feel bad about it for one second.  .

    This dr. Was just a consult. My regular OB is not like that. I just wanted an educated, experienced " guess" as to what we can do to prevent another fetal death. All bloodwork is normal. All pathology from the babies was normal. So frustrating. It makes no sense to anyone, mostly because I had previous healthy pregnancies. I just have to wait it out

    Sometimes there really are no answers that can be found. I know you want to do everything you can to prevent that from happening again, and it's not the answer you want to hear, but sometimes it really can just be bad luck.
