Why would my doctor say it isnt the end of the world if i'm on citalopram and pregnant however would prefer it if i wasnt?i am depressed with out it!

That's the point: Prior answer implied that you & prescriber must weigh risk/benefit of being on meds during pregnancy--if best for you, then will not be as big a problem for fetus than if you were depressed thru pregnancy. Just always ideal to be off meds, but not always possible / reasonable to do.
