A member asked:

I'm taking sertraline 50mg for anxiety 2 years now, if taken during early pregnancy how likely it is to cause birth defects and danger to the baby ?

Sertraline (an SSRI antidepressant) is generally considered safe in pregnancy with respect to birth defects. Premature labor is an occasional statistical association with SSRI's.

It is unlikely to cause birth defects. Many women stay on their SSRI antidepressant during pregnancy and have healthy babies.
