My boyfriend and I really want this to be a positive pregnancy and I would feel so crushed if I were the reason for the baby to not be 100% healthy and I mean we weren't even trying this time

Totally understandable. Talk to your doctor about switching meds to a "safer" one during pregnancy. That way you won't have withdrawls or risk of hurting the baby or yourself.

Thank u I'm just so nervous I don't want anything to hurt my chances of having a healthy baby or a good pregnancy

Don't stop your medication until you have spoken with your doctor. The zoloft is a category C medication. But you want to make sure that if you are pregnant, you don't want your PTSD to get worse. Make sure you take a pregnanct test and contact your doctor as soon as possible if you are pregnant. I had to take klonopin while I was pregnant and it made me really nervous because it's a class D medication. But I was taking it for panick attacks. Luckily I was able to wean myself off to only once a week, but still, you never know how it will affect your child until they are born. I hope you are able to get the answers you are looking for. And good luck.
