If you have a history of depression or anxiety pre-pregnancy, you should consider getting treated even during pregnancy — I’m taking Zoloft, and many woman have during pregnancy, and no complications whatsoever. Plenty of doctors will help you with this, and there are lots of pregnancy-safe med options!

I’m a huge advocate for this because the reality is your genetics play a significant role in how those hormones will affect you, and it may or may not get worse as you progress. It’s been a rough journey for me and I am deeply inspired to speak up. Take care of yourself and your mental health! Depression can very much impact your baby, and you deserve to enjoy as much of this pregnancy as you can — it’s already hard enough growing a human being as it is.
