OCD and pregnancy

Posted by orchid on March 24, 2006, at 18:32:42

I have a question to those of you who have had OCD when you were pregnant. Or even just general depression when you are pregnant.
I have mild OCD and sometimes it bothers me, but so far, it has been limited to only random strange thoughts which usually goes away. But it causes a great deal of anxiety, because some of them are very blasmpheous and some of them are violent thoughts.
Now that I am thinking of having a child I am very worried about my OCD. I become very unhappy and anxious when I have these thoughts, and wonder how it will affect my future kid if I have them during pregnancy. I haven't been on any medication for it, and I am not planning to be on any during pregnancy.
Any suggestions/ideas?
