zoloft or Lexapro during 3rd trimester

Ive recently been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and my doctor wants me to take medication. It's also contributing to an excessive weight gain. I looked up the effects of Lexapro and a lot of the side affects concerned me so my dr suggested Zoloft which doesn't look as bad. Has anyone taken these medications or know anyone who did?

A major one I read was my baby having respiratory problems and might be in the nicu. Or have withdrawals

I took Zoloft a while back(before I was pregnant) and I didn't have any side effects, I don't know much about lexapro. What are the symptoms your worried about?
