Considering having a baby

Posted , 2 users are following.

To anyone that can help.

I have just decided I would like a baby.

I'm be at 37 so time may be an issue. I have been on the pill since I was 17, but also been on sertraline for about 8 years. I would want to come off everything before, but very worried about my mental health without. I would appreciate any advice please!!

Kind regards

      Thank you for your response. I have been told it's fine too, but my boyfriend doesn't understand. He thinks it would damage the baby, and his parents say the same, they are scientists, so I'm clearly wrong 😔. He already has two boys as well.

      Maybe I don't want a baby, I was drinking red wine!!

      Happy New Year!
