The increased risk of m/c is unsubstantiated. Given that noone knows what the baseline of m/c actually are, it's difficult to know if there's an increase to that rate.

As for the link to ASD. There is a link between ASD, genetics, maternal diet especially gut health, ultrasound, cord clamping and a number of other things. None of which are 100%, all of which could be correct or incorrect.

I've done a lot of personal research into this as I am paranoid about what I expose myself to. In my case, I had 2 children with fatal abnormalities when I wasnt on ADs and the risk to both mum and bub of untreated depression is much higher than the risks of ADs (multiple research papers have found this). Pregnancy is hard enough, and for me it's a time of extreme anxiety. All of which mean, for me, it's better to be on ADs than not.

It's an individual choice. I'd talk to a psychiatrist before making that decision. You can call Rodney White at Monash Medical Centre. He's brilliant at advising what is ok or not during pregnancy.

Good luck
