Hi everyone, I’m currently 16 weeks pregnant, newly 21 and going through a lot mentally, between depression and OCD I feel like a horrible person. There’s times where I’ve said I regretted everything and everything was a mistake when I’d never mean that. My OCD is making me think I’m gonna manifest something bad happening. I love this baby more than anything I just had a bad episode where I just wish I never got pregnant when I didn’t truly mean it. Did anyone else feel this way in pregnancy? I feel like a horrible mom, I’m gonna be a terrible mom, she doesn’t deserve a mom like me:(

Just curious if any mamas wouldn't mind sharing their experiences with postpartum. TIA!

This is my third HG pregnancy and with my first two I survived on ondansetron and metoclopramide. This time I need Xonvea on top but I think it makes me so drowsy and lethargic that it’s really lowering my mood and making my mental health worse even though it’s been really effective for the nausea.

Google says nothing about it having an effect on mood, but I was on promethazine for a while a long time ago and I noticed that made me feel depressed. Promethazine has a documented side effect of depressed mood and it’s the same family as the antihistamine in Xonvea … so it’s got me thinking.

Did anyone else have this side effect with Xonvea?
