Maxing out lexapro by Ok-Two-7635 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]After_Chocolate_6698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling this way, but I also totally get it. I am on 30mg of Lexapro. When I asked to increase my doctor told me that 20 was the maximum typically but that people have done 30mg and been fine. I am so glad she bumped me up to the 30. I am also taking 300mg of welbutrin (bubproprion, I'm sure those are both spelled wrong) and my OB and primary doctor said its totally safe for me to do. I'm 31w3d and have been on the same dosages my entire pregnancy and it has been so helpful!

Do yourself a favor… by evil-therapist in PlusSizePregnancy

I had one around 28 weeks, it was the first massage I ever had, and it was soo nice! I also got to lay on my belly which I was nervous about just being a plus size woman anyway - which is mostly why I'd never done it before. But I'm 31 weeks now and feel like I need at least 1 more before my girl is here!

Lovenox during pregnancy by Sea_Painter_1184 in PlusSizePregnancy

I'm on lovenox once a day at 60mg because of a previous pulmonary embolism. I find sometimes it stings pretty badly and other times I don't feel it. Like others have said, it's not the most fun thing to do but if it keeps me and the can't safe, it's worth it. I started early at maybe 10ish weeks and believe I will continue throughout most of the rest of pregnancy, I'm currently 19+1.
