I've been on Zoloft for almost 2 yrs now. I'm currently pregnant with my third and my OB told me that it is the best antidepressant to be on while pregnant. There have been studies but no proof that being on an antidepressant will affect your babys health. It is important to have your mental state of mind even-keeled, especially once you give birth and you're dealing with a newborns needs!
Don't worry you're not the only one. :) just make sure your OB or midwife knows you're taking it. :)

I love Zoloft  it's my life saver. I have severe panic disorder and depression. I stopped cold turkey when I found out I was pregnant though I didn't want it going to my baby lol I was on 150mg I think and it literally helped soooooo much like a miracle. I used to panic almost all day for no reason at all. With Zoloft I'd get one or two attacks a week.
