Around this time, my psychologist brought up the possibility of my going back on antidepressants, but before those three shaky, sleepless days during Week 9, I was resistant. I'm not sure why. I have worked in women?s media for five years, and really thought I was inured to all the ?natural? pregnancy hype. I don?t want to have a baby in a bathtub or eat my own placenta. I fully intend to get an epidural. But even though I knew lots of women who had healthy babies while on Prozac and Zoloft, and I knew that many, many studies showed only a minuscule chance of those drugs affecting my fetus, I didn?t want to go back on. I suppose on some primal level I wanted to be pure while pregnant. If anything went wrong with the baby, I would always wonder if my being on antidepressants was to blame. This was not a science-based decision. But when it comes to pregnancy, particularly your first pregnancy, it?s tough to ignore your emotional brain.
