Postpartum mental health

SSRI’s while pregnant

Ladies, has anyone continued their antidepressant during pregnancy? Stories you can share? I was taking an antidepressant prior to my pregnancy. I weened off and have not taken them since week 10. I’m now 15 weeks and feel this was a huge mistake. But, there are risks to my baby. I don’t know what to do.

Childbirth

ICSI babies and placenta failure

Guys, I need more information. Can anyone point me in the right direction for advice?

My consultant is insistent that we absolutely cannot go overdue with an ICSI baby because there's a "high risk" of placenta failure past 40 weeks. Apparently not so much with straightforward IVF babies but ICSI in particular.

Does anyone know anything about this? I'm trying for a VBAC this time after a really traumatic labour and emergency c section with my first and am hoping to go into spontaneous labour before 40 weeks but as we all know, babies have their own ideas! And my consultant wants to book a c section the day before my due date, which I would prefer over an induction but wondering is it safe to leave it a few more weeks or not?

Hit me with your thoughts 🙏

Pregnancy termination

Loss of friends

No one knew we were ttc and going through Ivf. We needed Ivf for pgtm testing for a shared genetic disorder. My worst fears came true when after failed transfers we got miraculously naturally pregnant and baby was affected. I had to TFMR. I became quiet and not part of my group bff of 3 groups texts for days. They reached out and I told them about my journey (but said a loss/miscarriage). I was almost 4months. And it killed me. Mine you my friend was also pregnant and due the same week as me with an “oops baby”. When i shared my news. I got the sorrys. But one friend checked out completely and never messaged me again. Ì wasnt looking for help or hangouts. But maybe a check-in ever few weeks? These are friends of 15++ years. She even had a big bday for her husband months later and didn’t invite me. And a mini baby shower sprinkle and didnt invite me. After all this we just all never spoke again. I congratulated her publicly on her pregnancy announcement but not birth after all those months. I wonder if her anger towards me is about that? Anyways. It’s a year later almost and I now have my baby born (after 3 transfers) and feel lonely that I lost my best friends. Whát would you do ?

Low hcg

Trying for my second via IVF. Blood test was positive for pregnancy today, but hcg levels super low. Has anyone had a healthy pregnancy after very low hcg levels 10 days post transfer? Hcg only 12.6. I’d rather be emotionally prepared than have false hope.
