This is a much needed topic. Our family has been affected by this. Everyone wants to blame the mother when it was her doctor writing the prescriptions reassuring her there would be no harm done. They were wrong. It is wrong to give mind altering drugs to pregnant women leading them to believe it's perfectly safe. i was warned of caffeine…

I'm a labor and delivery nurse. The babies come out and DO NOT cry. There is nothing you can do to make these babies cry.(even giving the hep b shot which is another infuriating subject) I tell the mothers during labor that bc of the medicine they are taking, do not to expect their babies to cry when they are born. I recently had a conversation with a coworker who felt we had to keep it a secret that there is an effect on these babies. That statement just blew me away.... just like the secret that young men were experiencing myocarditis after the Covid shot?!?! While my son was complaining his heart was beating hard and fast and I had no idea bc it was censored and kept a secret?? Not only do we not know how it will affect these kids long term....some feel that what we do know should be kept a secret. Infuriating is an understatement 😡
I am amazed that anyone is prescribing SSRIs to pregnant women. I went off them when I got pregnant in 1996 and stayed off for several years until I was done breastfeeding. But I'm on them now. They make a huge difference. And it's not because I didn't spend 20 years of clinical depression trying everything else suggested here, first.
i am happy that you find SSRI'S to be beneficial. I just wish they worked for everyone. Times have changed since 1996 -- sadly. Now they say a nonmedicated pregnant mom is more dangerous to her unborn child than an SSRI. I didn't enjoy being pregnant (i was depressed) but that didn't seem to bother. They are thriving adults now
Yes!!! SOOO many pregnant women taking SSRIs and I see first hand the effects on newborns in first hour of life. Does anyone know the effects after that ? Or we just keep insisting it's safe?
my great nephew had seizures and breathing difficulties at birth. His skull didn't develop correctly (craniosynostosis) which created birthing difficulties. It was a very dangerous situation. He had to be airlifted to a children's hospital where he spent 7 days going through withdrawals that included seizures, breathing difficulties, inconsolable crying. Then he had to wear a helmet for his craniosynostosis. He went through physical therapy to learn to crawl and walk and doctors all say it was the SSRI. there's a great possibility this nephew will have difficulties all his life. we are playing Russian Roulette every time a woman on SSRI'S continues her SSRI throughout pregnancy. i think ots criminal

What is it that you see in the newborns ? Are you a nurse or doc ? This is a very interesting statement you make .
