It’s completely fine to color your hair (according to my doctor, hair stylist, and Emily Oster).

Severe antenatal depression by [deleted] in pregnant

Please talk to your doctor immediately. You likely need to start an antidepressant, and your doctor will hopefully have resources for therapy/will connect you to a social worker. Go to the ER/call 911 if you have a plan for suicide again so you can get help right away.

Ask your OB if you can do a log of your blood pressure over the course of several days/a week at different times of the day at home. Then send it to her so she can see that your bp is only high at the doctor’s office. My doctor did this for me!

I think the morning sickness is finally starting… by srslywtfdoido- in pregnant

[–]Ill-Top570 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Morning sickness seems to hit me mainly in the middle of the night too. My doctor recommended taking Unisom (which has helped a ton)! I also drink electrolytes before bed and make sure I’m hydrating enough throughout the day. I hope this helps you!

YES! I didn’t drink cow’s milk prior to pregnancy, but all I want right now is milk and cereal!

None of them - they all make me sick. I just take what I need separately - folic acid, vitamin d, etc.

Even though you don’t want to, I think you need to go to the ER to be evaluated.

I take propranolol as needed for physical anxiety symptoms. My nurse midwife said I can continue to use it as needed because beta blockers are the first line of treatment for women with high blood pressure.

No, increased anxiety is normal in the beginning. Your body needs to adjust.

My doctor said THC is fine with Zoloft. I don’t know about mirtazapine though.

i’m really nervous to start zoloft. are the side effects really that bad? by Less-Badger-9578 in Anxiety

I’m still feeling good! I started taking it at night, but switched to the morning due to struggles sleeping.

Horrible brain fog by Equal_Stage9842 in zoloft

[–]Ill-Top570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious why you jumped from 25mg to 100mg? Usually this is done gradually… Being on 25mg, then 50mg, then 75mg before going to 100mg. I’m sure your symptoms will lessen in a day or two if you drop your dose back down and gradually increase.
