And with our first. The last couple of days I have just felt really sad and not wanting to do much at all. I am just really emotional. I was like this at the begging of the pregnancy to and then I had a bit of depression then too. I was wondering is this going to effect me after I have the baby? Like for the postpartum like will I go into a depression?

Thanks for the answers in advance

Hi my name is Amber and I am desperate for help for my 31 year old sister. She is in jail right now on very serious charges of child endangerment and possession of a controlled substance. She has two boys a 3 year old and a 2 year old. When her first son was 3 months old she found out she was pregnant again. Her body, hormones and emotional state of mind never recovered from her first pregnancy before she was pregnant again. She went into a serious case of postpartum depression. Work was out of the question for her because of these two young babies. She never got to enjoy her first son like what I feel she should of because of the youngest needing so much attention being a new born. She began to self medicate with xanax and it did seem to help at first but it soon became a very bad problem The father worked offshore and was gone all the time to support his family..Her and the kids and the father lived with us in Fl until about 6 months ago and we all knew how depressed she was so he moved them out to Ala in a beautiful home and tried to give them a better life. This really made it worst because now her and the kids are all alone out their and she no longer had her family and friends . She sunk more into her depression and into her medication. Things quickly took a turn for the worst. She got caught with some painkillers and got arrested for driving under the influence with her children in the car. She went to jail and we bailed her out and she was ordered to probation and something called drug court where she had to do a urine test once a week. We thought this would stop her and scare her straight… It did not… She went to a doctor who come to find out he is what you call a script doc who writes scripts for cash. She got prescription for loritabs and xanax. She let the drug court people know that she got her scripts and she thought she found a way to beat the system.. They also made her attend drug classes she only told them about her xanax and failed to mention her loitabs which is a pain killer because that what she got caught with so if they found out about them they would make her stop taking them. Needless to say they tested here there and she failed for the hydrocodien (loritabs) if the truth was known she was probably nodding out from her xanax and they tested her and of course she was dirty. So, now she violated her probation. She went to jail that day but was allowed to be signed out until her court date this coming Jan. Well, with all this trouble she has gotten in her head is really messed up and let me mention my sister has never been in trouble before this. Drugs have made her a totally different person. She was a straight A student growing up. A very reasonable person and a loving mother as time went on a the drug dependency got worst. I’m sad to say but the pills became number one for her. To get to my point . Last week she was arrested for leaving her 3 year old son in the car strapped into the seat belt in the car asleep in her drive way over night. The car door was left open and he was left in there for about 12 hours over night when a neighbor found him and called the police. They found her passed out on the hall way floor in her house closed to a overdosed and her 2 year old was on the couch a sleep. I believe she got the 2 year old out and was going back to get the 3 year old and passed out that’s why the door was left open. Words cant describe the anger we felt towards her for doing this. She could have killed him. We have left her in jail for what she has done to her kids. But she needs HELP desperately she is now possibly facing prison for what she has done but my sister never in her right mind do this to her kids. She loves those boys more then life its self and they love their mommy just the same . They were together 24-7 their whole life. This has ruined all of our lives. We have her children and they are fine. Lucky they are so young they dont understand what is happening and hopefully it wont scare them because I believe they wont remember this. I dont feel she needs prison but a rehab. At Least a year or longer. She is sick and anyone who knows about drug addiction knows it is a disease and a sickness. At that point she was incapable of taking care of them and passed out. She was probably close to dieing herself. I’m not sure but we have heard that she mixed methadone with her xanax that night. That is a deadly combination and she almost killed her children and herself. We need advice on what to do to help her get the help she needs. We wont get her out of jail because we know she has to pay for what she did to them babies but prison is not the answer. I feel that will only make it worst and not help the underlying problem of the depression that turned into a horrible drug addiction. This story has been all over the news radio and the papers here in Fl and Ala. You can go to Baldwin county in Alabama news website and

I’ve been on the Implanon arm implant birth control for 2 yrs. Ive been feelin
some pregnancy symptoms lately. i take maca root powder for my
depression but it also is used for helpin women get pregnant. Could this have interferred with
the effectiveness of my birth control? I also heard if you are pregnant on this implant it
wont show up on an at home test…has anyone gotten pregnant on implanon?

I would really love to have a child in my near future, but I have some issue’s that I fear may cause me some complications…I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks, depression, & hypochondria. I take medication for anxiety/depression, & go to counseling for it as well, along with my hypochondria. My blood pressure tends to go up when I’m under stress, so this is also another issue I’m concerned about…Like I said, I’d really love to have my own child, but do you think all of this would be too much for me to handle? (mentally)…I don’t really have that much trouble with depression, & here lately I’ve been doing pretty good with my anxiety/panic attacks, but I fear ANY type of problem during my pregnancy may trigger it, or make my depression worse…..Any good advice?.

Did you experience this during your pregnancy?

I am 22 weeks pregnant and all of the sudden i am out of breath, it started with little shortness of breath and now its so often and bad, if i am talking to my husband i am out of breath, if i am laughing i am out of breath. I am always having these body aches, i cant even sleep anymore because my sides hurts bad at night time, i didnt experience this in my first pregnancy and now my back is so bad where i cant sit without some kinda support like a big and soft pillow on my back. I had post partum depression after my first pregnancy and now my OB thinks i may have depression again because all my blood work was good and now she would like me to be on medication for depression. My question is am i the only one this miserable during my pregnancy? or did any of you had the same problem.

Basic background: I am 8 months pregnant with a mans child that I thought I would be with forever. When he met me my mother had an extensive talk with him about the fact that I had MS and that it can be a very unreliable disease but would most likely at some point be disabiling. I am almost 30 and he is 40. My mother also told him I had never been able to conceive and had actually tried fertility drugs with my ex husband. He continued to persue a relationship with me knowing this. I was friends with this man for over 2 years prior to us dating and was there for him thru the ending of a 20 yr marriage, his home burning down, him losing his business, his teenage daughter getting pregnant, etc. 3 months after we moved in together I found out i was pregnant. I didnt believe it at first and was kind of freaked out bc I had given up hope. He was excited and made several comments about how he prayed for it to happen and that he never wanted to use protection bc he wanted to give me a child. After finding out I was pregnant I had to stop all my MS injections and depression/anxiety pills, etc that help my MS. I started getting scared and we started having problems, he didnt seem to want to listen to me, was very jelous, somewhat controlling, etc. I threatened to leave him several times, yet never did mainly because we are having a child together and my thoughts were that if it could work I needed to stay. So over the past 8 months I will admit that I have been very emotional, very needy, and bossy at times. I started having problems comprehending info and dealing with problems, so i went to see my doctor, because these issues were effecting mine and his relationship and the doctor informed me that the bundle of nerves connecting the left and right side of my brain have been severaly damaged bc of a relapse, probably right before i got pregnant. Most of my MS problems are congnitive, visual, speech, a few physical.
A few weeks ago we all had to move into my parents house bc he is rebuilding his home after a fire, and our lease elsewhere ran out and he only had a few weeks to go. My boyfriend and I got into an arguement a few days later bc his 20 yr old son jumped into one of our conversations and was very rude to me and I said something to him. When I asked my BF why he was mad at me and not his son, his response was “bc he didnt mean it like that” I asked why he always assumed I meant things rude and his response was “bc your just that type of person, rude, hateful, mean and demeaning”. There was some yelling and I asked him to leave bc I just couldn’t deal with it. So he left and we saw each other here and there and I was really hurt bc I do love him so much. We spent Christmas together then him, his kids and his mom whom were all at my parents house for the holidays decided to go to his mothers and did not invite me and made it clear I wasnt invited. That started an argument bc I was crying saying I felt excluded and he didnt understand that.
I have started having complications with my pregnancy and cannot shave my legs, take a shower by myself, etc. I am really scared and asked him to move back in, bc the baby is so close to being here and I feel like we needed to work things out if we could. He tells me he loves me but cant commit to me, then goes on about how he has no intentions of marrying me, and just made me feel like complete crap, hes blaming this on me for me asking him to leave and for me yo-yoing him as he puts in over the course of my pregnancy. I begged him to come talk to me so we could figure something out and talk, he said he didnt ahve time, then he told me that I couldn’t “rush” him into loving me and that I couldn’t “make” him commit, which i understand but that hit me the wrong way with me being 8 months prego and all, so I was like “fine you want out then come get your crap” so he shows up 10 mins later with all the time in the world. Gets his stuff, and as he was leaving I gave him back the cell phone I had of his and he grabbed my hand said he loved me, and I told him I did him to but I couldn’y “just date” a man I was having a child with, and then here comes his 20 yr old walking up all bowed out like im gonna kick his dads butt. So we didnt get to talk, my BF just told me he was doen and was throwing his hands up and that I pushed him to that point, etc. I personally cannot see that I have done anything bad enough to make him want to leave his son and me. We both had said stupid mean things, but nothing deathing cruel, we both have just done stupid things, but there has always been honesty, faithfulness, and I have always worshipped the ground he walked on. My only complaint was when he lists things important in his life, its God, my kids, my mom, my home, my dogs, you, our unborn son, and my friends and other family. When I list importance out its God, him, my son, my parents, other family members, my dog then my friends. His mom treats me bad bc he doesnt stand up for me and when he

Ive been so ill with my third pregnancy and found my depression has returned and also the anxiety attacks I suffered after the death of my sister. Its been a hard decision but I feel so ill and weak and often cant get out of bed. Is this a justifiable reason for a termination? Everyone I have spoken to thinks I am thinking for the right reasons. Also as I have been on anxiety and depressant medication, no health professionals can guarantee there wont be any harm done to the child which is another of my reasons.
So to those of you who think I have no RIGHT to abort a child. Shall I call you all up when I have a sick disabled child who cant walk or talk? Dont say I should have used contraception either as my depression and anxiety was a lot better before I got pregnant. I think those of you who are anti abortion are selfish and fear your own feelings above that of a child that could potentially be born disabled or born in the wrong circumstances!
Im sure half of you cant read properly. ADOPTION????? I am sick during pregnancy why would I consider adoption once its all over. We wanted this child in the first place and Ive searched high and low for answers to medication and NO ONE can give me any. Think about the child being brought into this world with a mother who cannot bond with it due to post natal depression????? SELFISH ALL OF YOU ANTI ABORTIONISTS. Im not doubting my decision by asking you this, I just wanted to see what opinions there were out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have many of you actually had depression and anxiety so severe that you cant get out of your room? Think of it this way, I have two lovely boys who will suffer if I continue to be ill. We wanted this child from the start but need to think of my health and how my family are suffering. Those of you who think aborting a child hurts it. Do you remember being in the womb then????? You obviously have never been in this situation and I think I am thinking of the child life, and any potential downfalls before they happen.
Ok well this is the part I chose to leave out because I didnt feel it right to mention but now I have seen such awful judging remarks I will tell all. The death of my sister was actually a murder, she was taken to a back lane and had petrol poured over her and set alight and left to die!! I have suffered since with anxiety due to this yet I am being called a “Murderer” for preventing another life from coming into this sometimes awful world. What did they get for doing this to my sister???? Not very many years thats what. So all of you anti abortionists, think about the evil in this world too before making your nasty remarks and thank you to all who stated that it is my choice.

Did you know this about men?

A man’s sprem is good for a woman.

In addition to its central role in reproduction, various scientific findings indicate that semen has certain beneficial effects on human health, both proven benefits and possible benefits:

Antidepressant: One study suggested that vaginal absorption of semen could act as an antidepressant in women; the study compared two groups of women, one of which used condoms and the other did not.[4]
Cancer prevention: Studies suggest that seminal plasma both prevents and fights cancer, particularly breast cancer,[5] reducing risk by “not less than 50 percent.”[6][7] This effect is attributed to its glycoprotein and selenium content, with apoptosis being induced by TGF-Beta. A related urban legend parodied these findings and claimed that performing fellatio at least three times a week reduced the risk of breast cancer.[8]

SAN ANTONIO – The father of a newborn baby who authorities say was mutilated, killed and cannibalized by his mother said Tuesday he wants to see her executed. Scott W. Buchholz told The Associated Press that Otty Sanchez, the mother of 3 1/2-week-old Scotty Wesley Buchholz-Sanchez, seemed fine in the days before the killing, even though they argued.

However, he said she told him she had been diagnosed with postpartum depression and was going to be admitted to a hospital for treatment.
