I was just wondering if there are any others who are going back and forth with this question. I'm suffering from PPD and have been prescribed Zoloft. I have slight OCD only when it comes to my daughter, she's now 10 weeks. It's difficult for me because I know this should help me, but I feel guilty taking it out of my fear it will harm her. Can anyone help comfort my anxiety?

I don't know much about the actual affects of the meds on the baby, but my thought is that your doctor would not prescribe meds for you that would harm your baby, right? Also, the benefit to you of being on the meds will probably make you feel better, and in turn be a better mother to your baby. I struggle with guilt over everything since my son was born 4 weeks ago and I am considering asking for meds as well (I am b___stfeeding also). I feel horribly guilty even if I put him in his crib to sleep after he has fallen asleep in my arms...I just feel like every second is a second that I can never get back, and I don't want to miss anything. :( Good luck to you!

In the 2nd trimester I was started on a low dose of Zoloft (50mg). I was told to continue it throughout my pregnancy and after. I seem to be doing fine and so does my b___stfeeding baby. Every thing I read on the internet seemed to indicate that a low dose should be fine.
