I am now just over 7 weeks and have been on lexapro for 6 months. I just had my first scan and everything is absolutely fine with bubs. I was also on Cipramil (which is very similar to lexapro) for my pregnancy with DD and she is a very happy healthy 5yo. My doctors have told me that it has no known side effects on the baby but can't promise this due to not enough research has been done.
Dr's can give you printouts of the reports and research that have been done. I've read them and found that the slight risk they can cause is outweighed by the massive risk to me and bubs if I came off the medication.
Have a read of the reports and try not to worry. Many women have had happy and successful pregnancys on the meds.
