Yesterday i had a chat with my partner about having kids. I think now that im almost 28, in the next year or two i should start thinking of having a family of my own. I mean whatā€™s better than having joyful kids? I have a very loving character and i consider myself capable. I will talk to my doc soon, until i change meds and even try to get pregnant it will take a year or so. Plus im in a good place in my life. Maybe all this crazy emptiness is my maternal instict.

Do you wanna have kids?

If we can give them proper nurturing during childhoodā€¦i guess they wonā€™t get Szā€¦!!!
Childhood iz pillar of our lifeā€¦!!!

Congrats on having the ā€œtalk.ā€ Thatā€™s a big step in itself. You definitely need to include your pdoc and dr in the conversation because of med effects on the fetus and breastfeeding. Make sure you bring your partner with you to this appt with the dr. I didnā€™t and he missed out on so much info, and the pdoc was asking why wasnā€™t G there with me to ask his questions.

My bf and I have had the talk once and mention it in passing once in a while. Iā€™m on the fence about it. Iā€™ve never had the urge to have a child, but then if it happensā€¦ it happens. I donā€™t worry so much about passing anything onto the baby, more about bonding with it because of my flat affect and moods.

I donā€™t mind taking some risks to see if i can have kids. There are some meds which are safe. I live in canada and i will be closely monitored. I dont even want to breastfeed. But im very loving ingeneral. I feel empty and indecisive but itā€™s not a big deal.

I once asked my doctor and he said i can have a meeting with a consultant to ask about concerns and they would explain me everything. Im tired of focusing on myself and my problems. I wanna have a family and take care of someone.

Iā€™m drinking a lot and smoking. I wanna stop these soon too.

Yeah, youā€™d have to make the choice to stop drinking and smoking. Thatā€™d be great if you could meet with a consultant. They could give you some advice and guidance, maybe set you up for classes in birthing and child-rearing. Personally I have strong feelings about breastfeeding but my pdoc feels that I need to stay on my meds and not breastfeed because of my depression not sz. So we would have to really weigh the benefits vs costs of it all.

i want the perfect life, anything to fit in with the constraints of modern society only i want to get married and then have kids, let the kids grow up with a solid mother/father figure, take turns helping with the kids, get a Job and try and make as much as possible as well as giving some to charity, have a nice car and a big house where my kids can play out back in a paddling pool and stuff.

My mum and dad have been such rocks during my childhood providing me with stability. I am concerned that I couldnā€™t do the same so thatā€™s why I donā€™t want kids.

I know the latuda is a class B, but geodon is class c. Did you ask if there is any way to not be on the geodon at least prior to trying, and then stopping the latuda at the end of trimester 2. I would talk in depth with your doctor about all option even maybe coming off meds completely before getting pregnant.

First trimester i recommended not being on any med if you can. Thatā€™s the crucial time for babyā€™s development. And you should definitely change your diet, add vitamins, minerals, fish oil and folic acid from the moment you start planning.
Good luck. I thought you said you donā€™t want kids :smile:
