Hello new community! My anmes is Reagan and after a long haul through infertility and a broken heart, my husband and I are pregnant! But I have a question that the doctor's can't seem to answer. (ironically. lol) I have very pronounced ADHD and last time I was pregnant I went off my meds immediately, lowest does of Methylin - like Ritalin, and went through two months of hell before we unfortunately lost the baby. Now my drs are essentially leaving the decision to stay on my meds up to me seeing how sick I got the last time. (Involved other factors too of corse) I had to quit my job, ER visits three times with dehydration, etc. I feel so selfish for even considering staying on my meds but I know how miserable I am without them. Any advice? LOVE to you all!

The drs don't know how the meds will affect the baby? Or that's what they suggested last time and it was a disaster? I have decided to take meds for depression through my pregnancy, and it was basically a risk management decision. Was the risk to the baby worth my health? Or was the risk to my health worth the safety for the baby? its something you and your husband will ahve to decide, as you are the ones who will have to live with the consequences of either choice. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about how the meds will affect the baby - it can help with your decision. Good luck and congratulations!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
