I Had a Baby While on Antidepressants (And It Was Great)

- I'm so excited to share this video. To me this isn't about medication. This is about taking a stand against perfectionism. It's heartbreaking, the way so many people feel they have to suffer in the name of "doing it the right way" or "the perfect way" or "the best way." Nobody wants you to suffer, my dear. And giving yourself the support you need to feel good and to not be miserable is a gift to you but also an incredible gift to your child. How many of us know the pain of loving a parent who was miserable? A parent who maybe had no idea how to go about loving themselves? So let's start a new parenting trend: ask for more and take up more space so our kids can do the same. Set a higher standard of joy for yourself and you will give your child an invaluable gift. We cannot give something to our child that we do not have. So let's give ourselves and them this: permission to be happy and permission to be free from the emotional prison sentence that is perfectionism. Sending love to you all. Let's be brave and ask brave questions. We each deserve the joy that comes with living an "imperfect" but oh-so fulfilling life.

Here's the link to my first video on this subject while I was pregnant with little Vinny. Enjoy: • I'm Pregnant and on An...
I can’t believe your little one is already so big! Time’s flying by.
Man! I appreciate this video so much… this one and the pregnancy one on antidepressants. You and baby Vinny rock!
Yay! This is so important! Truly. You’re helping so many women❤️
This really put my mind and mom guilt at ease. THANK YOU
I'm literally here because I know I need anti depressants but my husband and I want to start trying for a baby and I have been so anxious and down going from .. we can't have more kids because I don't want to feel this way anymore to, well maybe I'll just stick this out 9 more months 😭. I'm really thankful you shared your story because I feel like is such an automatic "NO NO" that no one is actually talking about it, and it seems much more nuanced.
Thank you for sharing your story!! I know this is helping so many women out here like myself who are probably afraid to seek help since there is not much information out there. Thank you again! Your story gives me hope. Glad to see your little one thriving. Blessings to you.
You are my inspiration linda I'm on my 35 weeks of pregnancy, my anxiety started when I was on my 29 weeks and I'm taking anti anxiety meds.I pray that my baby will turn just like your baby a healthy baby..Thank you for this video lt kinda lessen my anxiety
Hi how your baby now and what meds
how is your baby
please reply am also from India
How is your baby now?@@amritasurendran091
Really love these videos from you. 13.5 weeks pregnant today and Doctor prescribed me Zoloft. Starting off with 25 mg.
Definitely a little nervous, but ready for a positive change. Something's gotta shake. Would be happy to see more depression/ feelings videos from you. Thank you for sharing !! 💕💕💕💕
Yes! Life updates and baby milestone videos
Thank you so much for this! I was suffering from really awful depression and anxiety. I had previously been on Zoloft and had tried to come off of it after having been on it, successfully, for a year. I ended up after a little over a year of being off medication to going back on them again. Which at first made me wonder if I was weak. I was doing EVERYTHING. I was going to therapy, I was exercising, I was practicing good self-care... and I was exhausted and overwhelmed and felt terrible. Now I'm back on 10mg of Lexapro and I feel 10000% better. And I'm pregnant! I've taken the medication throughout my entire pregnancy and now I'm about 39 weeks. Definitely have a conversation with your care providers. I knew I wanted to stay on some kind of medication, and most of the time, especially if you are on an SSRI, no harm will come to your baby. I'll be able to breastfeed while taking Lexapro as well.
Thanks for sharing your story. I think it's the story a lot of moms have but don't talk about.
is your son okay?
@@user-lx5is5ow9c Yep! He’s almost two years old now and doing well. :)
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏿
Thank you for your videos, I’m talking about getting pregnant with my boyfriend and I’m on antidepressants and was worried about that. I just want to thank you for your videos! I feel better now.
Currently on setraline 50mg and 28 weeks pregnant
Thanks for sharing
Thank YOU for sharing! That was my sertraline dose too while pregnant ☺️
@Linda Barsi great 😊
@@vickyd9584 hi !! how do you do with no libido with antidepressant and intimacy with your husband? Taking antidepressant.. ?
@Suky suky I take anti anxiety med and I am fine
I don’t have any issues
@@vickyd9584 your emotions and libido are good ? 100 hundred porcent ?
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you so much for this. I’m really struggling with the decision
thank you for this video :)
Thank you for sharing your story. It is so empowering.
I went off of antidepressants for about 6 months last year to try to conceive. It did NOT go well and I went back on them. One year later and we're trying again, this time on antidepressants. (Also I'm not sure if this is temporary but holy shit my mental health has improved since I'm off of the pill. Never going back.) So thank you for sharing a positive story about this. Honestly why is this still taboo??
I know! I so agree! It doesn't need to be taboo. And thank you for sharing your story! This is so lovely to be open about. Sending you love!
Thank you so much for this!! ❤❤
Thank you for this 🥺❤️
Thank you thank you thank you
Thank you ❤❤
Thank you
This is amazing!! So happy you posted this! I'm most worried about the baby going through withdrawal after... did you experience that at all?
Vinny looks so much like their papa!
Haha right?! It so cute!! Their eyes!!
I love the info, it’s just hard to listen with the hits music as background
Thank you for sharing this! I'm on 200mg sertraline and was so scared that I wouldn't be able to have a little one without going antidepressant free for 9 months! I hope to reduce the dose but this gives me so much hope! Thank you again ❤️
Hi. How do you deal with decreased libido in a marriage ? How do you deal with this ?
I just find out I’m pregnant and I’m taking Lexapro I’m very scared 😢
Im on ssris for anxiety, im so worrried to get pregnant because of this. I can not get off of them. It will be hell for me and Im sure it will really effect the baby
Did you nurse while on them? How was your experience?
I m nt conceiving from 1yr.of struggle,Dr said because of uses of antidepressants
My and my boyfriend want to get married and eventually start a family. I been off antidepressants for a few months. I know I’ll probably get depressed when I get pregnant, I’m so scared thinking about it. I know I’ll have to ask my doctors when i decide to take that step of becoming a mother.
Dont take any drugs while being pregnant be strong for the child. These women that say that they have been taking it and their one year old baby is okay doesnt have a clue. These drugs are very damaging even to an addult individual. The kid can have neural damage that can come to light later on in life. If it is pssd for example he or she will find out about it in puberty. You can start taking meds after the pregnacy if you wont be able to stand your depression. Give your child a chance to find hapiness in life.
@@Calmnessofnight thank you, but I’ll take advice from my doctor and therapist.

Hi...m on antidepressants.
I have heard from studies that have linked antidepressants with autism ☹️ and I'm terrified to go back to take them😔
Also with breathing problems with then babies when they are born and having withdrawal symptoms 😔☹️
Hi I'm pregnant. I stopped taking Trazodone. I'm very worried. Should I keep taking it? Has anyone experienced taking trazodone during pregnancy. Still worried. I have insomnia..😔
I just started taking celexa 20mg after a year of stopping,I’m 7weeks rn. I was told it will be okay. And for the insomnia Unisom is okay for pregnancy . Good luck momma you got this! ❤️
Unisom is tablet ? I have insomnia
My doctor stopped me from taking the antidepressants after I month .he said there's a lot of risks for the baby because of the side effects
Thank you for this. I just found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant and take 50mg sertraline. I am so scared to continue my medication due to the possible birth defects. There isn't a lot if information out there on this.
Hi how’s your baby
Did you give birth and your baby is in good health?
I’m on 100 mg of Luvox for my severe anxiety . I tried getting off and it was not okay . I made the decision to stay on while pregnant even tho they don’t know what the risk s are . This makes me feel better thank you ❤️
Hi... how do you deal with decresed libido, intimacy with your husband ? Worth to be on antidepressant than sexual life ?
@@Sukishana 10000% worth it .
I was on birth control and once I got off I didn’t have decreased libido anymore
@@sophiaprunier165 luvox didnt give you decreased libido ?
@@Sukishana a little bit but like I said I’ve been on birth control pills and I think that had more to do with it
Mam I'm from India,I'm suffering from anxiety
I'm using medicine from 1 year
It will be cured or not
Are you still taking them? How do you do with sexual dyafuntion and with your husband? Will take antidepressant forever ?
no you don't want to take it forever when you feel okay you can slowly taper the dose and free from them
You’re very lucky nothing happened. They cause birth defects and your baby can be in the Nicu. The reason you got sick when you tried to get off is called protracted withdrawal. Would you give your baby the meds now? No.
She cant really tell if her baby is lucky. There can be damage that will start to show later on in life. Since ssris cause s3xual problems it is probable that children of mothers that take these meds can have pssd and will find out about it in puberty.
