Sertraline in pregnancy
Ive been on sertraline for years. I have fairly severe GAD but it’s been controlled well with therapy and sertraline. I was on max dose but since being pregnant I’ve got down to 50mg.
This is where my problems starts 🤣 because I’ve reduce my dose the GAD is sneaking in slightly and I’m terrified about newborn withdrawals. It doesn’t help that this is my first baby too!
Has anyone been on sertraline while pregnant? Did it affect your baby at all?

I was on 100 throughout pregnancy. He had some slight twitching for about a week but was perfectly healthy. They tend to keep you in hospital for a couple of days just to monitor.
I was on 25mg throughout it they didn’t even mention anything about it to me x
I’m on 200mg and have been for years and they’ve said I’m fine to stay on this dose during my pregnancy but they’ll just do a check when baby is born
My baby had to be monitored for shaking and irritability for the first 48 hours after birth to make sure he wasn’t experiencing withdrawals but he was completely fine :)
I’m on 200 mg wnd baby is fine he is 1 year now xx

Glucose tolerance test
I have my glucose tolerance test on Tuesday and I’m dreading it due to the horror stories I’ve seen. Does anyone have any neutral/positive experiences? Or can explain what happens?

Last Day
Today was our last day as a family of three as I go for my c section in the morning and omg I'm a mess 😭😭
What a mix of emotions.
Didn't think I'd find it as hard as I have. So bitter sweet.

Already thinking of a second
My first baby is 9 months old, and I've been thinking about having a second. I know I want to stop taking birth control when he's about 18 months, I want them to be no more than 3 years apart. It took about 3 and a half years to conceive our son after I stopped birth control and we weren't trying but we didn't use anything to stop it. I'm curious how long it'll take to get pregnant again, but also worry if it doesn't happen like I hope it will. I know I want to give my body time to be ready and we need a bigger and better house, but I'm 32 and I know fertility lowers as you get older. I have so many worries and things I'm excited about it just makes me giddy all the time lol. Are any of you thinking about having a second and when you'd want to have them?

First trimester vent
I'm 10 weeks and utterly miserable. I am so exhausted that I can't do anything I'd normally do - running, gym, hiking, gardening, seeing friends. Even had to take time off work. I'm basically stuck in the house most days. Nothing is enjoyable any more because it's such a massive effort so I just end up lying down and staring at the tv. It's so lonely and incredibly boring.
Please someone tell me it's likely to get better soon
