During that time, you could have maintenance TMS if you needed it, and that would probably tend to lower any anxiety you were having. You may well find that the hormone changes of pregnancy give you a sense of well-being.

Twinleaf,
You wrote,[...If you did need medication later in your pregnancy, (after the first few months)it would be safer then...].
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. What scientific studies, if any, do you use to make that statement?
B. If a drug is not safe the first few months, why would it be safer after that as you write here?
C. Could it be unbeknownst to you that drugs can cause the death of the developing child or cause brain damage or other life-ruining events or deformaties to the child after the child is born when the mother took drugs after the first few months?
D. If you mean by {safer} that it could be less likely for the developing baby to die or get a life-ruining condition or deormaty from that the mother took drugs after the first few months, how much is less likley and by what authority, if any, do you use to make such a statement here?
E. (redacted by respondent)
Lou
