Wow, just think how scared you’ll be when the life and future of an innocent person is your responsibility. The pregnancy is the easy part.
You should talk to your doctor about any medications you’re taking to control anxiety, particularly if you are considering becoming a parent.

You should discuss this with your health care provider. Some herbs could harm your baby. You shouldn’t take any chance. Talk to your doctor before getting pregnant.

Don’t ever take herbs while you’re pregnant without first talking to your doctor. That will just cause more anxiety for you. My doctor said certain anxiety medications are safe to take when you are pregnant. I took celexa for most of my pregnancy. Some doctors prefer their patients to stop celexa in the third trimester, but others don’t see the need to stop it. Please discuss it with your doctor. They will find a way to help your anxiety that is safest for you and your baby. Good luck!
