I've been getting very angry and frustrated at little things.. then when the anger wears off, I just feel sad and drained 😞 I think it's the hormones and anxiety of expecting a baby any day
My OB team offered me a low dose anti depressant, I may take them up on it but I worry about being on it indefinitely. Never tried them before. They thought it would be a good idea to start them before the baby arrives.
@M.J I was on them for 5 years! They definitely helped me but my OB encouraged me to get off of them before my third trimester, so I did. I wouldn’t recommend starting them unless you REALLY need them. Withdrawal is so hard and knowing what I know now I would have never taken them.
Thanks for the advice. I probably won’t start them but it’s nice to know there are options.
I’ve overall been okay mood-wise but have had more random sadness lately, like tearing up at songs and stuff almost every day. Keep an eye on it! I’m definitely gonna keep tabs on my mood since postpartum depression can be a real problem that requires treatment.
