Are antidepressants taken while pregnant dangerous to the unborn child?

That's truly scary! Then again it's the doctor who will decide on weighing things with regards to this matter. This is very sensitive. I remember our Pica thread...

Thanks for your inputs. I was just curious as to how moms could deal with this challenge during pregnancy. It's just sad that weighing up is done. The life of the baby shouldn't be compromised. But in this matter, who is to blame anyway? Pity.

I think as with any type of medicines, there's some sort of danger taking antidepressants especially during pregnancy.

Yes they are!! But I've heard of the safe ones good to be taken during pregnancy.

I've read somewhere that Pamelor is safe while pregnant. I've taken note of it so I could post it in here, LOL! Hope that helps!

No matter how doctors claim that some are safe during pregnancy I still believe it poses a risk to the baby. Well unless the mum has a tendency to hurt herself then it should be highly imposed.

Idalia

Yeah! That's what I thought so too. Bloody scary!

Abana

Indeed, it's one of moms' biggest nightmares...
