Depression/pregnancy: Although antidepressants may be necessary at times, there are no 100% safe antidepressants during pregnancy. The risks and benefits of taking medication during pregnancy must be weighed carefully on an individual basis. Often psychotherapy is a better choice. You should talk to your doctor to make an informed choice for you and your baby.

It's all relative: All antidepressants are labeled category 'c' that is to be avoided during pregnancy. However it has been shown that untreated depression during pregnancy can pose more problems to unborn child due to increase certain stress hormones like cortisol. Talk to your psychiatrist before taking any decision.
