Sertraline pregnancy anxiety and depression

Posted , 1 user is following.

After suffering with anxiety for most of my pregnancy and recently with depression which has made me lose all interest in my pregnancy and not want to see anyone I finally started taking Sertraline at 35 weeks pregnant. I've been on 50mgs for 3 weeks now and although my sleep and eating have improved i'm still really struggling with intrusive, negative constant thoughts and still have no interest in the pregnancy or the baby. I feel so scared as im 38 weeks now so i know she'll be here within the next 4 weeks but i'm terrified about how im going to feel and cope with her. Does anyone have any experience of pre natal depression and taking Sertraline?
