I have been currently really thinking and considering getting pregnant more. I understand that this time in your life will be both a good and possibly potentially good or bad time t even think of doing it.
All I know is I have always wanted to try to have kids and right now in my life I am with someone who feels for the most part the same. Its scary trying to deal with all my mental disorders and my past health issues. with seizures. I know to a degree not only would I need to speak to my gyno but possibly get a hold of a neurologist again since my seizures were tied into my hormones. Even though the seizures were never diagnosed they always told me if I wanted to do the whole havin kids thing I would be high risk....so yeah lots and lots to think about. __________________ Dx:OCD, AD/HD-C and ADD kinda both, General Anxiety Disorder, Separation Anxiety Disorder,Abandonment Anxiety, Cycothymic disorder, or mixed bipolar, Border Line Personality Disorder,Histonic Personality Disorder, Dependent Personality disorder, eating disorder ]Rx:Lamotrigine 25mg twice a day for my mood stablizer as well as I am on Escitalopram 10mg 1 daily, Buspirone 3 times daily 10mgs VT Student, CNA student, working HHA  for my father I think of you everyday

Do you have a therapist or trusted spiritual leader who might help you?

The thing that concerns me most is that your partner "for the most part" also wants a baby. I'd want to be having a baby with someone that wants one completely, all the time, with no possibility of them freaking out at 8 months pregnant and up and leave.
I agree, I think talking to a therapist, your gyno, and neurologist before you start trying to conceive. I'd also have a good heart to heart with your partner. |

I know my partner well enough to know that even though he has mixed feeling about it that he would stick around.
.. cause he truly wants to have a kid, he is very good with kids...just not a lot of girls have given him the opportunity to even think that was was a possibility. this is something that has been brought up in conversation several times for us. and probably will come up again. __________________ Dx:OCD, AD/HD-C and ADD kinda both, General Anxiety Disorder, Separation Anxiety Disorder,Abandonment Anxiety, Cycothymic disorder, or mixed bipolar, Border Line Personality Disorder,Histonic Personality Disorder, Dependent Personality disorder, eating disorder ]Rx:Lamotrigine 25mg twice a day for my mood stablizer as well as I am on Escitalopram 10mg 1 daily, Buspirone 3 times daily 10mgs VT Student, CNA student, working HHA for my father I think of you everyday

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
