This is far from the only controversial decision coming out of Amber’s second pregnancy. She’s also catching heat for her decision to go back on medication while pregnant.
“I’m on medication for depression now that’s safe for pregnant women, because it was getting pretty bad and we had a scare that maybe I would fall into a postpartum depression after the baby,” Amber revealed to Us Magazine. “But everything’s going smoothly.”
Some fans were fully behind Amber’s decision. “Good for her and baby,” wrote reddit user genius_f*ckface. “She needs to have a clear head. It’s not always easy being pregnant with hormones alone let alone having a mental illness.” User emdee39 wrote, “The first smart decision she’s made since dumping Matt.”
Others were less happy about the update. “It’s really about the baby though,” shared user valkyriejones. “And I don’t care what anyone says, psychotropic medications during pregnancy are a big no-no.” User JennHatesYou shared, “Um. This is….not good? Anti-depressants, for someone who is bipolar, can have serious consequences. It can flip them into mania/hypomania and/or cause them to rapid cycle… My opinion is Amber probably didn’t bring up the bipolar with her doctor and stuck with the ‘I’m depressed’ line. I guess we shall see in the next few months if she starts to cycle again, my guess is that she will.”
