I’ve been attending trauma group now for the last three weeks but after the snow cancelled last week and being in, people’s comments about bump size, how I walked, looked, all became overwhelming and for the first time in ages I sucumbed to self harm! Arms and over throat. When I’d mentioned to midwife last week increase in anxiety and feelings of down she said about thinking of medication again but I’m really against that (for me). I attended trauma group today and just felt so sad when she spoke of examples to help self because I feel I do do a lot to help self and push self so think it upset me more because I was thinking “what can I do now?”
She offered to be there if anyone wanted to touch base but I just needed to run away from there. I knew I’d more likely be honest to her because she’s a psychologist and may “get it” but scared due to being pregnant the repucussions of opening up in that way. Just had to vent

Hi Starlight, could you phone your psychologist or have a one-to-one session with her, as it may be really helpful to do so. You may find this information helpful regarding taking MH medication during pregnancy: mind.org.uk/information-sup...
It is important for you as well as for your baby, to stay mentally healthy, and if medication and talking therapies are part of that process don't dismiss their value.
