Vanlafexine (Effexor) is a Class C drug which means it hasnt been found to cause toxicity  to the fetus in animals (studies not done in humans) and can be taken while pregnant if the benefits outweigh the risks.  Many women take Class C drugs while pregnant as the risk tends to be very minimal to baby.

I hope this will ease your mind a little until you have your ultrasound in 2 weeks.
