PREGNANT ON PROZAC ?
Contrary to popular belief, pregnancy is not always an exciting, happy or glowing experience. Clinical depression affects 15-20% of pregnant women, sometimes hitting so hard that the moms-to-be attempt suicide. Mothers of multiples are at even higher risk with more than 25% suffering during pregnancy and postpartum.
The new mother of eight in LA needs regular mental health assessment. Prenatal and postpartum depression is a hidden illness with potential grave consequences.
Many women are on life-saving anti-depressants before pregnancy and can’t afford to go off or other women develop a deep depression while pregnant and don’t know where to turn for relief, as most doctors are uneducated about treatments during pregnancy.
Dr. Shoshana Bennett has clients who are ready to tell their stories on radio or TV. Jennifer wanted to avoid anti-depressants during pregnancy, but ended up needing one. Marlo refused medication and was able to get through her pregnancy with natural treatments.
Dr. Shosh knows the struggles. She is the survivor of two life-threatening, undiagnosed postpartum depressions and the founder of Postpartum Assistance for Mothers. A pioneer in the often-ignored field of postpartum depression, Dr. Shosh is the author of the newly released Pregnant on Prozac, The Essential Guide to Making the Best Decision for You and Your Baby, a hard hitting look at the various natural treatment options available for pregnant women today. Many women panic and scramble for answers after learning they’re pregnant. This is the only book of its kind. Dr. Shosh will provide simple, practical tips for wellness.
About Dr. Shoshana Bennett, PhD:
Shoshana Bennett, PhD, is also the author of Postpartum Depression for Dummies. A clinical psychologist, she founded Postpartum Assistance for Mothers in 1987 and has helped over 17,000 women recover from depression in pregnancy and postpartum. She has appeared on national radio and TV shows, including 20/20 and The Doctors. Dr. Shosh is interviewed regularly on radio and television and has been quoted in dozens of newspapers and magazines such as the The Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Glamour, Psychology Today, New York Post, Self, Cosmopolitan, and the Chicago Tribune.

Great for yoga!
This one is for all the beautiful ever-expanding bellies out there!
Although very common in European countries, maternity sashays have just been recently introduced to the United States. Brought to America by Dutch designer, Saskia Charbonneau, the sashay is made to go over your pre-maternity wardrobe, not under it like other belly bands that we've seen.
Whether you want to give an old, tired maternity outfit a fresh look, or you want to wear your pre-maternity clothes longer, the Sashay will come in handy! It also serves as a trendy belly cover-up after pregnancy, while breastfeeding!
Exercise Guidelines During Pregnancy
BrittG | | 0
* If you are just starting an exercise program as a way of improving your health during your pregnancy, you should start very slowly and be careful not to over exert yourself.
* Listen to your body. Your body will naturally give you signals that it is time to reduce the level of exercise you perform.
* Never exercise to the point of exhaustion or breathlessness. This is a sign that your baby and your body cannot get the oxygen supply it needs.
* Wear comfortable exercise footwear that gives strong ankle and arch support.
