Hi! I have never had a child before and I definitely want to have one but I'm scared to death for many reasons but my biggest reason is that I am currently on Zoloft for depression and anxiety. I have tried to do some research online about how Zoloft can affect a fetus but I can't find any definite answers. I know some of your answers will be to just not take it anymore but unfortunately, that is not an option for me. I can deal with my depression but my anxiety makes me physically sick and in the past has dropped me down to 92 pounds. My regular doctor has told me that the amount of stress that I would be in not on medication would do more harm to the baby than being on Zoloft but I really don't know. I'm really worried about carrying a child while I am taking this medication so I was wondering if anybody on here has been on any kind of anti-depressant while they were pregnant and if they could share their experience or knowledge on the subject. I plan on going to see my ob/gyn as well. Any comments or information is welcome.
