Q: Depression And Pregnancy

I am a 26yr old mom of two wanting to have another child. I have been on lexapro for depression/anxiety for a few months now. I am wondering if anyone out there has any info on the safety of lexapro during pregnancy. My family dr says it's okay, but I am still nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Laughing

Is your family doctor the one who also does your prenatal care? If not, I would ask that doctor and your children's pediatrician. Those two combined will have the best answers.
