Anti Depressants

Has anyone ever been on anti depressants and got pregnant?

If so, did you immediately stop taking them? Or is it just better to stop taking them all together before you get pregnant? I'm on the lowest dose. I've heard that its like a 3% chance of hurting the baby. I know any chance is a chance and its probably better off to stay safe. I'm just worried my stress will come back and it will have more of a negative impact on TTC.

I'm on the lowest dosage too of Zoloft. I personally stayed on it my entire pregnancy and my 4.5 daughter is perfectly fine. I knew my anxiety would come back if I wasn't taking any medication. I refused to take a xanax since that definitely can cause harm to an unborn child. So being off Zoloft wasn't really an option. I was also high-risk since I developed a pregnancy induced clotting disorder. My high-risk doctor didn't have a problem with me staying on my medication. He has plenty of patients that do so. Consent worry and anxiety could be far worse for your child than the medication that prevents it. Good luck.
