Can i be pregnant? i am shit scared of operations. how painful is an abortion and hw lng does it take? hw lng does one take to recover frm it?if i get an abortion done in june 27th or so,will it be too late and hw serious will the operation be then? i have to abort the child if am pregnant due to serious other consequences if i cont. to keep the kid. i am shit scared and do not wanna actually commit this crime..but if i am preg. i will have to commit it. i am in depression…plz help me out fast plzz…

my boyfriend and i never had sex. but there was a very small possibility i couldve gotten pregnant. i was very worried, so i went to the dr. the dr did a urine test and did a scan of my abdomen about 18 days after possible conception and told me i’m NOT pregnant. since that day, its been 2 months and i’ve had extremely normal periods and no pregnancy symptoms. so why am i still worried i might be pregnant even though i am clearly not? is this simply paranoia? i know i have an anxiety disorder and possibly depression but i dont know if those are contributing factors to my paranoia. please help.

okay……. my baby is 7 months old and we decided to ttc again because we want to have our babies close in age. so i got off birth control at the end of may, and also got off cymbalta for my depression, since i have been off cymbalta i have been having all my depression symptoms again…. super irratable, crying spells, etc. anyways, i gained 40 pounds with my first pregnancy, and have only lost 20. i was at 161 when i started trying, about a month ago.i am still 161. I just started my july period yesterday…. so would that have something to do with it? i know once i do get pg my weight is only going to go up… i just want to be healthy and since i am not currently pg im trying to lose weight. so my dilemma is: get back on cymbalta or not.. it gives me more energy and i feel less stressed when on it. but idk how safe that is since i want to get pg again. maybe after my period is gone me weight will go down? anyone have a similar experience or have any advice ??? please no mean or rude answers this is hard on me

My wife and I found out a couple weeks ago that she is pregnant with our 2nd child. Even before we took the test I knew something was going on, she was acting very unusual. During the last pregnancy she had some mood swings early on, but nothing like this. Obvious depression, short windows of happiness followed by long periods of sadness, confusion, unpredictable behavior… even she says she doesn’t feel like herself.

From the beginning she has had bad morning sickness, except it lasted most of the day. I recently read about ginger and started giving her capsules of that, which seemed to help the nausea. The mental issues, however, don’t seem to get better for long.

Help!! Can anyone provide me with a credible website that discusses pregnancy depression.

I’ll be honest here. I’ve suffered with depression on and off for over 10 years. I have been on medication up to 4 years ago. During the last 4 years, i’ve felt relief from depression and haven’t worried about it.
Now, i’m 9 weeks along and it started before becoming pregnant.. I know where it’s coming from. Since you don’t know me, I can be 100% honest. Its work: when I’m at work, thinking about work I’d rather die then face it. I have a WONDERFUL life outside of work. Before I found out I was expecting I was looking for something better. I’m so excited for the baby and my husbands and i’s start of a family!
I can promise you, I would NEVER kill myself, its just how horrible I’m feeling about it…..(when i was at my worse, I would have dying thoughts but I know I would never ever do that)
Anyways, is there any medication that a pregnant women can take for depression? Or prohaps what have you done with depression during pregnancy?
I have an appt with my doctor in 10 days (also get to see the baby on the ultrasound!!) so I do plan on talking to him about it.
Thank you

I’ve been having problems in my relationship with my boyfriend as well as other family issues along with child custody issues with my daughter and financial issues. I’m also 6 months pregnant and all of this is starting to weigh in heavily on my mental health I think. I’ve been crying myself to sleep every night, I’m more moody than usual, and just not happy about much at all. I have an appointment to see my doctor, I know that a lot of the symptoms I’m having are normal with pregnancy but this is starting to affect my work and social life and I want to make sure it doesn’t spiral out of control. Has anyone gone through something similar that can give me some suggestions on how to handle this? And are there any SAFE medications they can even give you while your pregnant??

Ok, So i’ve known now for three weeks that I am pregnant. I am 18 years old and have a 2 year old daughter and a 1 year old son. I am in a relationship with their father although we did have a break in which he didn’t see the children at all and I brought them up during this period with no support or financial help off him. It was a really hard time for me as he left me in debt from gas,electric, rent & loans we had taken out for furniture ect. He also left me with his dog and refused to collect her, I couldn’t put her into a shelter and although I didn’t trust this dog and she went to bite me on two occasions, I still looked after. (She was rehomed to my mother who adores her). I really was left to pick up all the pieces and this caused havoc with my mental health. I already suffered post natal depression, extreme anxiety & OCD but this really made me hit rock bottom. The break up wasn’t expected, he went off with another women he met online. Anyways we are back together now and I left the property and went into Refuge with the kids. My mental health just haven’t improved, I love my kids, I love being a mother but I will be the first to admitt how hard it is. I get really ill when I am pregnant ( i suffer with kidney infections that make me unable to even move, my anxiety worsens & I won’t take medication while I am pregnant & I also became an emotional mess. Now finding out that I am pregnant again it has released all these fears of (how am i going to cope looking after my two children if i am ill, what happens if i need to go into hospital?, what if something bad happens to me?) all these thoughts are constantly running through my mind that I can’t really see the light here. I couldn’t go through with an abortion so please don’t mention it, it’s not that I don’t believe in it but having an abortion would have a more negative effect on myself than going through with the pregnancy. Besides This is my baby and I am going to look after it. I keep feeling something is going to go wrong with this pregnancysuch as (stillbirth, Birth complications) something really unthinkable. I am soo low and I’m worried that I won’t bounce back up. Does anyone else feel like this? Please shed some light on this situation, I’m soo worried. I can’t even take the chldrens fatyher into account because he will come and go as he pleases.
By Just Me- Can’t you accomplish anything other than writing foul mouthed words on yahoo and not even answer the question?? Please get off the computer now before your mother finds out! else you are certainly going to be grounded, you nuahgty child!
Thanks for your answers so far ladies, I think i may be just having a really down day Everything is seeming so impossible and then I hate myself for feeling this way, support groups sound amazing! I think I also need sometime with other women , maybe abit more of a social life, so i can talk about these things and have friends to pick me up
Mr Smooth, obviously not everyone has been gifted with the upbringing and best start in life as you!, Don’t judge me I am doing good already, I’m the first person in my family to not have a drink or dug problem and to be able To keep my children. It’s sad that it’s like that but unfortunately true. Sorry if my life doesn’t fit your standards but your attitude certainly doesn’t meet mine.
Thank you S for your answer, If i take on that view of life I believe it will make this situation so much easier for me. I also believe in fate and karma and maybe I should put these views before the ones I’m experiencing know, What’s ment to be is ment to be.
Thanks

I’ve always struggled with depression and anxiety. So far, I’ve been fine, but this week, I’ve just felt useless and overwhelmed. Could this be hormones? I got off Celexa at the beginning of my pregnancy and have been fine. I know some doctors feel medications are safe, but I’d prefer to manage this naturally if I can.
