I found out I was pregnant with my third child on a warm August weekend. My two older children tapped on the bathroom door as I quickly peeked at the pregnancy test: Positive. I jumped up in excitement and swung open the bathroom door, scooping up my 2-year-old and 4-year-old in a loving and grateful hug<\/span>\u2014<\/span>I wanted another baby and had been trying for over a year. What I didn\u2019t realize was that this moment would be the happiest I\u2019d feel for the next nine months.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is perinatal depression?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cUp to 1 in 5 pregnant people will experience clinically significant depression or anxiety during pregnancy,\u201d says <\/span>Amanda Tinkelman, MD<\/span><\/a>, a psychiatrist at Brooklyn Minds. \u201cOften the person may lose interest in things they used to enjoy, not be able to look forward to pleasurable things, be tearful very often, feel overwhelmed, have more difficulty coping with stressors, or even have thoughts of worthlessness or self-harm.\u201d It\u2019s called perinatal depression, a collective term for the low moods beginning while a mother is expecting and extending after birth.<\/span><\/p>\n

I expected morning sickness and exhaustion, I\u2019d been to this rodeo twice already, but I didn\u2019t expect to feel overwhelmingly sad, empty inside, restless at night, and even suicidal during particularly dark moments. By the time I was 10 weeks pregnant, I couldn\u2019t hide how much I was struggling anymore<\/span>\u2014I went to the doctor and talked about all the ways I was feeling. I filled out a <\/span>patient health questionnaire (PHQ) for depression<\/span><\/a> and was told that I needed to take medication to protect both my life, and my unborn child\u2019s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWon\u2019t the medication hurt my baby?\u201d I asked.<\/span><\/p>\n

My doctor assured me that the medication he was prescribing, a low dosage of Zoloft, was safe for pregnant women and carried very low risks for the baby.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe risk of not taking the medication is far more concerning at this time,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are antidepressants safe during pregnancy?<\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the biggest fears I had during my pregnancy was that taking antidepressants would lead to health consequences for my child. The few people who knew I took antidepressants were mostly supportive, but some family members shared their concerns with me, which only amped up my anxiety and nervousness.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rebecca Levy-Gantt<\/span><\/a>, DO, an OB-GYN in Napa, California, says that physicians should take an individualized approach when determining whether a pregnant patient should be prescribed antidepressants.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to look at the balance between taking a medication that may have a small possibility of effect on the baby, versus not taking anything and running the risk that depression or anxiety will get worse\u2014sometimes to the point of suicide, or even just the inability to care for a new baby,\u201d Dr. Levy-Gantt says.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Levy-Gantt also says that antidepressants in the SSRI class (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), like <\/span>Zoloft<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Prozac<\/span><\/a>, or in the SNRI class, such as <\/span>Effexor<\/span><\/a> (selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor), are the safest to take during pregnancy; which is also in line with what my own doctor told me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zoloft and pregnancy<\/span><\/h2>\n

I started taking Zoloft right away, and within a week I noticed a change in my mood. After a month, I was functioning like a typical pregnant woman\u2014still tired, still a bit nauseous, but capable of getting up every morning and caring for my kids, doing a bit of work, and completing household chores\u2014with a lot of support from my husband.<\/span><\/p>\n

I went on to have a mostly uneventful pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy baby girl a few days before her due date. I knew that taking antidepressants was the right choice for me, because with my moods leveled, I was able to take on the responsibility of caring for my two older children, and when my daughter was born, I was able to be a fully present and loving mother to her, too. I continued taking antidepressants until my daughter turned 1 and did not experience postpartum depression.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to need help<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cPerinatal mood and anxiety disorders are the most common complication of childbearing,\u201d Dr. Tinkelman says. \u201cWith stigma reducing, there is more acknowledgment and support available than ever before, albeit still not enough. While you might not feel like yourself, with treatment you can feel better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While I wouldn\u2019t wish my experience on anyone, it\u2019s comforting to know that I wasn\u2019t alone, and with treatment readily accessible and stigma reducing, I hope that others can also go on to have healthy and uneventful pregnancies like I did.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
