I have been on fluoextine my whole Pregnancy. I’m 38 weeks. They told me to reduce the dose from 60mg to 40mg. I have been under the mental health / vulnerable mothers midwife team as opposed to the regular team.
I was told my medication is fine to take as the mother’s mental health is just as important. It may just be my baby may have to stay in hospital a few days to be monitored but will not harm the baby.
Please speak to your midwife team asap. You will hopefully be put under the specialist team too. You would then have a meeting with the mental health consultant.
Hope you get sorted and good luck with your pregnancy 🙂 you’ve got this mama
