@Mom25boys I didn't sway I wasn't even trying to get pregnant. I was having irregular bleeding between cycles so I went to the doctor and they wanted to do a D&C which I was against because I felt that it was the birth control pill they had me on. So I stop taking the pill on July 6th and called the doctor to get a different pill and then there was a hold with the insurance so I didn't get the new pill until July 19th. By that time I had already conceived even though I took the OV tests that said I wasn't ovulating. This baby was meant to be here and that's how I have to look it at. Now I'm even considering trying again which is crazy because I know I can't afford it. I would have to save the money to go HT and that would probably take years and then on top of the guilt I would feel for spending so much money on it when that could be going to something for the boys. Now I have told a few people everybody is saying you can try again even DH but the only option for me is HT.

Hi everyone!

Just popping in to say hi. I'm 4 weeks 5 days today. I probably won't be too active here for a bit- as some of you know I miscarried in July, so I'm very cautious with this one, but I am following along on you all.

sending big hugs! and hope to stay in this group with a healthy baby!!

Welcome and congrats on your bfp. I was scared to join as well. I'm sorry about your loss. Honestly I decided that it was just better to join then be alone with my fears. I'm so incredibly anxious, its painful. But it's nice to feel like I'm part of something. Even just to share how scared I am, because I'm not telling people. My doc wasn't even helpful. So I'm hoping for the best. And if and when I pass the 16 week mark, then I will think about sharing. But I am here, lol, if you wanna share. It's not very active here...

@ahorn - congrats on another beautiful boy, I'm sorry it wasn't a surprise girl for you. Just know that you are welcome to vent or talk about anything you need to in order to process your feelings xo Like you said, that precious little boy was meant to be here and I am sure he will fit it beautifully with the rest of your family xoxox

@kikurose - congratulations on your bfp!!! that is very exciting for you, I understand the fear of the early weeks of pregnancy, its a scary time but you are most welcome here so dont hesitate to chat or ask questions if you need to

and yes as mom25boys said, it has been very quiet in this group for a little while, perhaps everyone has alot going on in their lives which is understandable. For me personally, I have been struggling a little with antenatal depression which has shocked me a bit because I never thought of myself as someone who struggled with depression before. So yea, I am taking steps to try and work through it, but man its not easy. Has anyone else had depression triggered by pregnancy?

Hope you are all well xox

I have anxiety triggered by pregnancy. It is extremely difficult. I'm on antidepressants so that it doesn't hit depression. But I can really use a higher dose but i won't because what I'm on isn't pregnancy safe [emoji17]. So I try to take lots of breaks and relax and do things that keep me calm. I sometimes need to stop and take deep breaths. I'm scared of depression when I find out the gender, but I'm working so hard to prepare myself for that. I have not looked at one single girls name, chose a boys, and love it. I'm not looking at pink clothing or looking at all my symptoms to see if its girl like. I'm literally just praying that this pregnancy makes it. And I spoke with my doctor and she already told me to try all coping methods for anxiety and depression and to know that if I can't control it, to go back to her. She says there are things we can do to relieve me and I shouldn't feel lost.

Good luck. Hugs. Don't forget to take care of yourself. These stresses pass straight through to the placenta. I have 2 children to prove it to you. It clearly made changes for them in their lives.

And share your feelings. You are most definitely not alone!

My Dr was hoping to avoid putting me on medication and I was worried about it too, so at this stage I wont be getting any. Does the medication your on have any side effects that you notice? Do you feel normal on them? I just dont want to feel hazy or sleepy or anything like that, I'm exhausted enough with the pregnancy lol Yea I went through a rough patch where lots of random things came together at once and put a fair bit of pressure on me... and it was really odd because I could feel that something was wrong, but I didnt know what exactly, I didnt have a name for it. So I have reached out to my husband, mum, dad and sisters who are all really suppostive and helpful and I feel it has made a slight improvement which I am extremely grateful for. I think I was really surprised at some of the symptoms of depression though, I hadnt looked into it much before but once I started doing a little research it definitely lined up and made alot of sense. Sounds like you are doing a good job of preparing yourself and getting lots of constructive coping methods sorted to help you which is great. Apart from antidepressants, did you goto a counsellor or therapy or anything? My Dr did mention it could be an option for me so was just wondering if its helped anyone else.

Thanks for speaking out about your experience, I appreciate your honesty and it does make me feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one going through it. Can I ask what effect the stress had on your children? I am trying so hard to ease my stress so it doesnt go through to the baby, but I suppose its easier said than done
