zolof and pregnancy

[emi236]

I will be 26 weeks Sunday. Suffering from extreme depression.  My doctor put me on 50mg of Zolof.... today is the first day taking it.  And it exhausts me. And on top i think it is making baby sleep because his movements slowed down. :s any other moms prescribed zolof during pregnancy?  What's your experience?

My belief that antidepressants are linked to autism is more complex. I understand that the mom carries the gene and that's what doctors are saying to cop out their poor research. Woman have been carrying these gene for ages. The issue is moms or the child is ingesting something that triggers the cause of autism. My theory has to do with what unnatural products or injections we put in our bodies while we are pregnant and while baby is still strongly developing.

Zofran for nausea is the medicine that has been on the news not zoloft

There is no direct link or definite cause. My son has autism and I've NEVER been on any antidepressants.
Causes of birth defects are different for each baby and pregnancy

Wow, I was in such a hurry to share that message. I didnt even proof read to catch all those typos. I promise, im not a moron. Lol good luck, sweetie. I may even suggest finding a new caregiver. If you dont feel right about this decision,  you may need to find someone who has your best interests in mind. Meds. During pregnancy is a very serious risk because you are not only feeding side affects to you but to your baby as well.

I agree him, please stop taking it. My friend was on it with her first. Ended up having him at 30 wks. Gestation. Also... I personally believe antidepressants are linked to autism. You are way better off going the natural route. My midwives suggested these for my depression and its help a ton! Take a very large amount of dha fish oil. I recommend Nordic natural brand, strawberry flavor. I take 1200mg. Also, I started taking a prenatal yoga class. I suggest either that or water aerobics. Exercise will save you and the social aspect is truly important. Cut out the craps food and focus on good nutrition. Some days are still tough but its way better than it was! Hang in there. Im here for you too.

I just don't think it's safe for your lil one, some people had a good experience with Zoloft but I wouldn't take my chances if I were you

I haven't personally took Zoloft but I do know that they have a commercial where people are getting compensated for the birth injuries that Zoloft caused there babies..
