OCD during pregnancy

Posted by Arch on April 9, 2008, at 0:57:52

Hi All,

I have increased my OCD during pregnancy.
I feel very anxiety and feel like dying.
I am given the medications prodep and risdone.
I am still feeling lot worried and often feel like not becoming pregnant.
Anybody who likes to help me by giving advice I am thankful.

Thanks,
Arch

Please talk to your obstetrician and your psychiatrist about your OCD getting worse during pregnancy. It happens a lot.

If possible, the two doctors need to talk to each other about your treatment.

I work a lot with pregnant women and their doctors and things can get better faster if the two doctors communicate with each other.

Often the psychiatrist is afraid to make a change in medication because of the pregnancy. However, the obstetrician can help the psychiatrist make good decisions.

Seldom.
