Talk to experienced psychiatrist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
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.
