Anyone on fluoxetine on here?

If so how did it make you feel. Roght now i dont know if i'm having side effects from the medication or if i'm actually pregnant. Ive got bad headaches, nausea (i feel sick to my stomach) and needing to wee lots keep feeling lightheaded too and feel i have a cold coming. I started fluoxetine a few days ago for anxiety but me and my partner have also been trying for a baby recently so having a lot of unprotected sex .
I just feel so rough 🤢

It was rubbish for me. It made me feel like pants. I've changed over to Citalopram and I've been on it 8 days, no bad effects so far!

When I first started fluoxetine a few years ago I felt very nauseous the first
Couple weeks and I am sure this is fairly normal. However I only felt nauseous nothing else so hopefully it could be something! Baby dust your way✨

Those symptoms sound similar to being on anxiety or anti depressant medication.

If in s few weeks your symptoms don’t change or if you cannot bare the symptoms it’s causing, go back and ask for a different one. Some people think that all antidepressants are the same and make you feel the same, when I took sertraline I thought I was on drugs , like party drugs they made my heart race and my jaw swing they were horrible to take.. I’ve been on mirtazapine for ages , tbey have helped me so much, but again comes with side effects but not like this. I found the right one that works for me , don’t feel like your hassling the dr either, drs are well trained to know that certain antidepressants do and don’t work for people you’ll find it’s sooo common. So if you think they aren’t working or your side effects are too rough, go back and maybe try and different one x one won’t work for everyone. Mine makes you sleep , if I didn’t take it I’d be away all night. They also settle my ocd tendencies before bed as they used to keep me up xx

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
