Pregnant!

Alright. I'm eight weeks along. My man has had suspicions since the end of September.

I went to the nurse on October 5th (she's my "therapist" for now) and at the time I didn't know for sure, but I asked her what that nausea and all could be, and she just said that I couldn't get pregnant now.

I think she said that because of my medication.. But she didn't exactly tell me WHY.. And that is frustrating me, because I really want this baby!

So. I'm on lithium (600mg) and citalopram (10mg). I know the citalopram can affect the baby, and so can lithium. Has anyone been in this situation?

I'll be quitting citalopram soon, but I'm probably not allowed to go off lithium in a looong time. So.. Is this really not a good time to have a baby? I think I can be reasonable and give up for now if necessary, hehe.

katie I don't know about finland but I will say in teh states it used to be a no good with teh drugs you are taking but i was pregu\nut while taking lithuim and my 2nd son was fine i had to be watched and all but he was healthy and happy still is. i never took teh other one you are taking so can't say for sure on that one but 8 weeks tahts a ways in teh pregnuncy I would speak to a real doc for ob gyn and see what he says before you do anything . if you decide to keep the baby wishing you teh best of luck if it goes the other way remeber you will be in my prayers also.
