Close Pregnancy

This is my second pregnancy, and it is a rough one! My first was a breeze, so I wasn't expecting this. I've had agonizing chronic pelvic pain throughout, and am on painkillers, which I desperately wish I could do without. I want to talk to other moms who have been there.

Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

While I have learned to compartmentalize and to internalize a good number of my compulsions, I still have problems sleeping, obsessing over "what-ifs", and not blaming myself for every little thing that goes wrong.

Treatments

Paxil Working / Worked

The perfect medication for me. I don't even notice that I'm on it, except to feel incredibly even tempered.

Zoloft Somewhat Helpful

Not as good as the paxil but is a class C not a class D like paxil is so I switch to this during pregnancy.
