I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety since was 13 yrs old even when I was pregnant with all my kids I didn’t take no medication because my doctor didn’t want to harm the baby I just went to therapy and I done things I like to do
I would ask your provider to have a conversation with yourself and your partner so he can get all his questions answered and as a team you, your provider, and partner* can come up with a plan and metrics to base your decision off of. I was prescribed Zoloft before being discharged from the hospital and after discussing it with the prescribing midwife and informing my psychiatrist I decided to fill the prescription but wait to take it until I felt I “really needed it”. That should be something to consider so it is available when you make that decision. I was reluctant to take medication while pregnant, my opinion was honestly not based on any facts or studies just a general ick on taking things that could possibly affect my baby. It will do your partnership good to remember that he is acting out of fear, not anger. I white knuckled it through pregnancy and postpartum. Not a great experience would not recommend. There is also nothing wrong with taking medication
If yall aren’t married then do what you feel is right….. it’s your body . I hope things get better bc I struggle w sleep too, anxiety & depression . Seems like a lot of ppl are struggling w those things & it’s insane
