prenatal depression

Any moms here suffered from this in the past? I had it with my first, but it took five months for me to admit it. Medication really helped and my son was perfect.

This time around I know what it feels like and its starting up again. I'm nervous about starting meds so early, but if I don't I'm going to be worthless at work and home. :-(

    This is my first time being pregnant, and though I don't have depression, I did almost have a full blown panic attack today. If it keeps up, I'll have to consider medication as well.

    Obviously your doc will know best, but maybe you can start out at the lowest dose and see if it helps?

    I don't get this but I get hyperemersis, on my son I didn't medicate or go to hospital he was my first, so I had yhe ability to lay on the couch when needed... Unfortunately I was sick up until 6/7months and when I finally thought I was well I found out I had preeclampsia and had to be enduced 20weeks early... I've had two girls since I was ill on both surveourly on my second child and less so on my 3rd,
    at only 3-4weeks pregnant on my fourth I had to start taking anti sickness tablets as I've learned on my two girls I can get so surveourly I'll if I don't use the medication and allow it to build up early on in my system... My first daughter and I went to her through some risky bits due to bad medical advice tocstock taking the tablets when I felt well which quickly resulted in me being too unwell to keep them down when needed and needing drips of fluid and potassium...on my third I was told take them early and take them continuously, I had far less incidents of having to be re hydrated and didn't need potassium or other boosts...Both my girls were perfectly well when born so although the tablets list possible side affects after two perfect girls I am fairly sure whatever this baby is (boy/girl) it will be fine and infact better off if I am keeping myself well as by doing so I am keeping the baby well :) it's hard to stay positive when depressed but try your hardest and get whatever help you can to be the best you can for you, everything else will follow xxx
