just wanted to add a positive note...I have always been sensitive to hormone changes and was diagnosed with PMDD in my twenties, and have struggled with anxiety and depression (now tentatively dx as bipolar II) my whole life. I was terrified of what might happen when I got pregnant and I, my husband, my doctor, and my therapist all had multiple plans in place in case it went badly...but I felt the most stable I ever have while I was pregnant! I was happy, positive, no mood swings, no anger, and able to go off all of my meds.

I KNOW this is not possible for everyone (I probably will stay on meds through my next pregnancy because I did have issues with postpartum depression, which is more common with PMDD) but just wanted to say I understand the fear and you never know, you might be pleasantly surprised. I was so happy and positive while I was pregnant and can't wait to get pregnant again someday.
