> you have to weigh out whats best for you. if you are going to suffer for nine months in depths of depression is it that important to you.
yes - i agree completely - i feel like having a baby is so important and thats my struggle. it is so nice to hear from someone who understands that longing because when i am on meds i am great. i really feel like i am a good mom. off them - well, i do the best i can. i can do pretty good but what a terrible struggle it is.
> i can tell you that the ssri's are totally safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding. so zoloft is an option.
you have really given me lots of hope and made my day. i am starting to feel a little bit more relaxed with the idea of staying on the meds. i will keep you posted. good luck with your decisions on future children. by the way, being that your job involves the birth - do you happen to know off hand if a lot of pregnant (or a substantial amount) of pregnant women take meds? i am just curious. again, your support and advice have been a life saver. :0)
