I've never posted on any of these pregnancy forums before but I need help. I have been suffering from dome really bad depression since my pregnancy has started. My current doctor has said that there wasnt much we could do and that things would get better but they've only gotten harder. My husband was very upset to hear this and has tried to be supportive but things are tough. I finally got to talking to a close friend about this now she's not a mom but she encouraging me to find a new doctor but I don't know where to start. I am in Southern Tulsa, and 18 weeks along. I'm worried about finding a new doctor I don't know where to start.
So I guess I'm asking for any recommendation for new doctors or even birthing centers (since I would prefer to have a natural birth not in a hospital).
I'm sorry this all over the place. I'm just starting to get things on a better track.
Re: Looking for new doctor in Tulsa
Also, if you're on SoonerCare they are very supportive about mental health issues. I personally struggle with bi-polar disorder and am also looking into seeing a therapist. I am unwilling to take any sort of medication while pregnant, so this is the best I can do. I too am having a natural birth, unfortunately in a hospital though since I cannot afford a midwife (seems silly SoonerCare won't cover that since it's far, far less expensive than a hospital stay).
Best of luck with your search!
