bpddreamer Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hi everyone- I have been suffering from BPD for over a decade now and my husband and I really would like to get pregnant but I am scared shitless... My doctor told me that I need to go off meds if I want to get pregnant (I'm on anti depressant: Zoloft, Clonazepam, and Risperdal) and I am extremely insecure about what might happen if I go off meds. Secondly, I'm concerned about Post pregnancy depression. I am already heavily depressed and that means it could get worse to the point where I would want to kill myself or kill my baby (I've heard a woman can feel this way if they suffer from heavy post pregnancy depression). Lastly, I'm worried about my child. What if he/she is genetically defected like me and born with all of these mental illness that I possess? THAT is the most scary part. I would want to see my child go through what I'm and have been going through my whole life... I need advise from any of you who experienced the pregnancy and how your children are doing...
