Pregnancy and anti-depressants

I have been on anti-depressants for 2 years, 1.5 years on Prozac and .5 years on Effexor. I want to get pregnant but do not necessarily want to go off of my medication. One of my doctors said it is ok to be on the medication and the other did not necessarily recommend it. What is the opinion of the medical community on this topic? Are there any studies on this topic that I can read to become more informed?
