As there are no studies about antidepressants use during pregnancy due to ethical issues, we can't come to any conclusion. But in practice, certain antidepressants are safer during pregnancy like nexito. If depression is mild & manageable we avoid antidepressants especially during the first 3 months of pregnancy. If depression is severe which can impair the baby growth & can sometimes lead to miscarriage, better to take antidepressants even if it's the first 3 months. One should need to consult a Psychiatrist & discuss thoroughly & get informed about risk- benefits. Ultimately the decision belongs to the mother.

Depression or Anxiety during pregnancy will have worse outcomes and need treatment and generally, Escitalopram is safe in pregnancy and for depression or anxiety, minimum effective dose is recommended to be 10mg and needed to be taken for atleast 2-3 weeks to appreciate any positive response. Use of Clonazepam must be judicial during pregnancy.

Please consult your psychiatrist regularly and also consider therapy alternatively either as add-on to medications or if you don't want to take medications, but the decision needs to be taken collectively with your psychiatrist. Consult online for further evaluation and assessment.
