Meds and Neonatal Period

Did your meds affect he baby, did it overshadow your experience of becoming a parent

[Arabella-]

No it didn’t - being a parent is an amazing if difficult thing. No drug could take that away x

The midwife and health professionals did not undermine you

Hi Pumpkins

I was put on to a medication that was older and deemed safer for baby when I was pregnant. This put my mind at rest that everything would be ok for the developing baby. I'm sure you doctor/consultant would be able to advise on the best meds. They have to weigh up the risk to mothers mental health against risk to baby. You shouldn't be undermined at all. Your body, your baby, your choices

Take Care
