An SSRI is an antidepressant. However, when taken by an expectant mother during pregnancy, SSRIs may pose significant side effects and/or health dangers for another, unknowing victim: the unborn fetus. If you have been diagnosed with depression, please follow your treatment plan provided by your medical provider.

Studies have also linked the use of SSRIs during pregnancy with an increased of heart congenital defects (risk birth injury defects) – heart valve defects, atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defects (VSD) (holes in the walls of the chambers of the heart) – in newborns when Paxil, Zoloft or other SSRI’s is taken during the first three months of pregnancy and zoloft pregnancy and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn a life-threatening respiratory condition that affects a baby’s ability to breathe after birth when taken during the last months of pregnancy.
