Hi, during pregnancy period there will be variations in secretion of harmones, which leads to disbalance in our mood/ emotional area. Some will feel high level of stress, feeling low and others. It is not suggested that without proper diagnosis any self treatment is not accepted. Please take prescription from doctors. We are not sure which molecule will affect the baby. In the meantime you can take the help of psychologist to deal with your emotions and coping with the same. Take care.
