Hello--found this article on MSNBC.com. The link is http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21117137/. I'll paste part of it here...bottom line--we are doing the right thing for ourselves and our babies!!
"A marked fall in antidepressant use occurs when women first learn that they are pregnant, according to a report. "It is alarming to see that there is still a fear regarding antidepressant use during pregnancy. We knew that some women were going to discontinue using their antidepressants during pregnancy but we didn't think it would be so prevalent and inappropriately used (amongst those who remain on it)," said senior author Dr. Anick Berard. "The risks of untreated depression during pregnancy are significant," Berard, from the CHU Sainte-Justine Hospital in Montreal, said. "Given the safety of most antidepressants during pregnancy, a careful evaluation of the risk/benefit ratio should be done before deciding to discontinue their use. Although physicians and women think they are protecting their unborn child, they might be doing just the contrary."" "If nothing ever changed...there would be no Butterflies." Author unknown |

thank you for this post. It feels good to be reassured that continuing my medication was a good decision on my part. This is supposed to be the greatest time of our lives. I'd hate to go through it depressed and anxious
