Pregnant and being treated for depression04/16/2007 |
Hello, I just found out that I am pregnant (5 weeks). I am currently taking medication for anxiety and depression. Do I need to start prenatal care earlier than most people? Also, how to OBs go about caring for someone like me?Thank you!
The use of anti-depressants during pregnancy has been a focus of great attention recently. Certain medications are better used than others and it would be wise to seek early prenatal care so your physician and your therapist can make a treatment plan for your depression that protects the baby while giving you adequate therapy.
