TTC and SSRIs

[redlemonade]

Hi,

I'm NTNP at the moment but one thing that's holding me back is that I'm still taking antidepressants (sertraline 50mg) since I was diagnosed with PTSD after my birth trauma almost 2 years ago. My GP (who I don't trust - really need to find a new one!!) said they're fine to take while pregnant and that it's about 'balancing risk' but I'm still concerned. Equally, though, I'm concerned about stopping them and having symptoms recur. Anybody else been in a similar position? Any advice?

Can you ask a midwife or pharmacist? They will know what is safe to take and what isn't. Or get another gp who you like and ask for a second opinion.
