Is there anyone out there reading this who was on amitriptyline when they went into labour?

I don't want to talk about safety during pregnancy or side effects or breastfeeding on antidepressants or anything like that.

I have this irrational fear that it might prevent contractions and make everything really slow so I'm just looking for other experiences, specifically if you were on a low dose for sleep or nerve pain (I'm on 10mg a day)
:flower:
 
I had been suffering chronic migraines for months and they wanted to put me on 10mg amtryptaline because it is one of the safest for pregnancy.

I finally caved and started taking then amtryptaline 3 days before I went into labour last time and it did not affect my labour. I was 4cm dilated after only 2 contractions and it only took 4 contractions for me to begin contracting every 2 mins with contractions that were lasting nearly 2 mins so that was fun lol!
