Thanks Kristy_lee your post was very reassuring!! The issue of meds and pregnancy/breastfeeding is so confusing, it's so hard to know what you should or shouldn't do.

Best of luck for Thursday - how exciting for you!!

Thanks

My doctor pretty much told me that if the benefits to the mother outway the risk to the baby its better to stay/go on meds. They're only cautious because unlike drugs like Zoloft it hasn't been hugely researched what the effects are. And its a pretty hard thing to research kwim lol not like you can get a whole bunch of willing pregnant women and say ok we're going to give you this drug and see how we go ay lol

I too took lexapro throughout my pregnancy, varying from 20mg to 40mg with no side effect to bub
Have a chat to your doctor/psychologist/counsellor if you have any concern
