anyone been on anti depressants while pregnant?

[hayleybop]

I am 18 weeks pregnant. My DD is 14 months old and I have serious insomnia. I have battled with it for one month now and it really is doing my nut in.
I've tryed reiki, accupuncture, homeopathic medicine, night rescue remedy,swimming, walking, excersize....to no avail.
My partner and I aint sleeping in the same bed anymore and we barely speak to each other as I am so tense...
I live in cornwall miles away from my family in the north of the country. I am going to see my family in 3 days time for two weeks to try and sort my insomnia out, hopefully support from family will help.
I really want to know if anyone has taken anti depressants whilst pregnant and the baby has been o.k. I have suffered with PND with DD but was getting better for a good few months untill I found out I was pregnant and still I have been o.k untill a few weeks ago. My heart is racing all day and night. The docters have perscribed me tamazipan but it dosn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Hello Hayleybop

I know its a really hard decision to make -

I took sertraline whilst pg with dd4 - went up to 150mg and then decreased again one month before edd. she was born at home and is now 16 months old - no problems at all. best bit was, she got a calm and happy mummy which sadly, dd3 didnt' as I was so unwell with depression.
I saw a perinatal psychiatrist who advised me about medication during pregnancy - you can ask your gp if you have one you could see too? just to be 100% confident in whatever choices you make :0)
