OCD and pregnancyFrom: Nicole (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 31 Oct 2000 23:08:29 -0600 (CST)
I have an anxiety disorder (Obsessive Compulsive Disoder). I have had it since I was 11, but was not medicated until I was 22 yrs old. Since my medication, life has been SOOO much better. I like living again. However, I lost my baby at about 8 weeks last week ( I should have been 13 weeks but my uterus and all kept going although my baby died). I was under the worst anxiety and stress of my life during my pregnancy...for the first time there was something that mattered more to me than myself. I was so anxious every day and night I would feel an tightening in my uterus. Finally, fearing for my baby's safety I started my prozac again (which is no longer really helping) and the baby had died anyway. My concern.....I want to be a mom. I know I will be an great mom, but I am afraid my anxiety will hurt the the baby while it is in my womb. On the other hand...I didn't want to take any meds while I was pregnant. WHat do I do???? I really have a problem with the OCD, but I don't want to subject any future babies to *any* type of drug. What do I do?
