Taking antidepressants in pregnancy

[MC76]

Hi, is anyone pregnant taking seroxat or any other SSRI or did they during pregnancy. On a low dose but worried about baby being born with withdrawal symptoms but tried to wean off and didn't work and want to stay on low dose (5 - 10 mg). Am 31 weeks and all fine so far so no horrible defects caused by taking it in 1st three months that have been picked up on scans etc but worried about when baby is born and taking it during last few months.

Any advice/experience?

Took Prozac (20mg/day) all through DD's pregnancy in 2003 with absolutely no ill-effects to her at all. She was born perfect and cheerful and there was no appreciable withdrawal or anything. The medical staff were not concerned about risks to her. I think I was a much better mother as a result of staying on the pills! Good luck to both of you.
