Just found out yesterday that im expecting my forth baby!!
I'm in utter shock as my hubby and i never planned any more children!
I'm quite nervous as i get frequent ventricular ectopics and I'm worried this pregnancy will make them worse!!
I'm also taking citalopram and dont know if this will harm the baby!!
I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow!
I could never have a termination as i would feel like a murderer!!
I'm just soooooo confused!!
I have a 12 yr old daughter..my second baby(a boy) died at 6 months old due to cot death,and it took me and my hubby 10 yes to have the courage to have our third baby!! He is doin fine! He is 19 months old.
Now i have this to deal with including my ectopics and my anxiety!!
One minute I'm in tears the next I feel excited!
I just dont know what to do!!! rolleyes

MSB,

Congratulations on your little bun! The doctor is going to give you the best advice, given your health and your medication, and given your concerns. You and your doctor will work out the details to make this as safe a passage for you as possible.

Even women in so-called "perfect health" experience a myriad of emotions, questions, fears, concerns, excitements and joys. Welcome to hormones,....and you're already familiar with those!

I am very, very sorry for the loss of your baby boy. I know there are no words anyone can say to ease that pain.....

Let us know how things work out at the doctors...and trust that he, or she, will help to guide you (and your little bun).

MSB,

Congratulations!

Staying in close communication (as I am sure you will) with your OBGYN will help you to be as healthy and anxiety free as possible throughout your pregnancy!

Many of our members here have had great success in their pregnancies! (many of them were on medication as well, so try not to worry about that...at most, you may need to switch your A/D, but maybe not.)



We will support you along the process as we did them, momma.:)

Let us know how it goes at your appointment, okay?

Mam just do what your obgyn suggests, some day they will figure out what causes this. lolol I know you are
not in a laughing mood but you will be Ok!
By the way my wife had two girls with an arrhythmia and two bad heart valves, Peace.

Thank you guys for your kind support!
I'm feeling a little better today, managed to get a good nights sleep,I think that helped alot!!
I'll be seeing the doctor at 4.00pm so I'll see what he says about the citalopram!
Its just I've been taking Taurine and evening primrose oil too! I think the evening primrose oil would be OK but I'm not sure about the taurine as my doctor doesn't even know what it is!!
I'll let you know what he says!! :-)

Well you told him ahead of time which was smart...he will research it and be able to give you an answer today.

Will you post back and let us know how it went?

Hi there..

Saw my doctor and he said to stop the Taurine and evening primrose oil..
I asked him about the citalopram and he said that he would rather me not take the meds but if I feel like i need them then to carry on!!
I'm gonna keep taking them for the time being,as i feel as if they have been keeping me on a calmer level!
I just hope I'm not doing the baby any harm.
I also asked him if pregnancy was safe with frequent ectopics and he said that they shouldn't get any worse or be any more dangerous!
I'm 6 weeks pregnant!! :-)

Congratulations and this could be a awesome blessing for you, your husband and your other children.  It is normal to have fears when your pregnant but also enjoy the magic of the moment and believe that even when you hit a bump in the road you will move over it and keep on going.

Look at all the Aunts and Uncles your little one will have right here in this forum.

Lots of hugs,

Kitt

I wish I could remember things when they would make the most difference:My oldest Daughter took xanax
with Her first child, and was on Ativan with the next two, no problems with any of them, Peace Mommie.
