Has any one been on zoloft while pregnant? My doctor is highly suggesting it for me. I had a miscarriage in January and recently found out I'm pregnant again. I am just beside myself with worry. Despite the fact that I have had two 48 hour beta tests that have been really really good, I still can not calm down. Every pain, every twinge makes me think I'm losing the pregnancy. And I can't seem to get myself to calm down. My doctor thinks that at this point my worry and stress is more of a risk to the baby than the medicine would be. Just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation.

I haven't taken zoloft, but I did have to take meds for my migraines. I couldn't stand the pain, and when I have a migraine my body goes through a lot of stress. So like you, the doctor said the meds are better then the stress. I felt like I didn't have much of a choice. And now LO is 8 months old and super healthy
If you're very worried about taking meds, have you thought or tried something more natural first? Like acupuncture or biofeedback? Hope you find something that works for you! I know it's hard not to worry after a miscarriage. I also miscarried and worried so much with LO. Still worry about her!

I *thought* I had remember seeing commercials on TV about Zoloft and pregnancy.

@regberadaisy: yeah my doctor said the lawsuits are just trying to capitalize on some really rare situations, and she said the risk of complications is actually quite low.

@artbee: I do think I will probably start seeing a therapist as well. But I worry that behaviour changes could take a long time for me to really learn and utilize properly. Acupuncture may be a good thing to look into though! Thanks.

talk therapy really helps a lot but if you feel like you need antidepressants, i would go with an ssri.... most likely prozac since it's been studied the most.

I am in the same situation as you... I'm doing acupuncture for stress and anxiety. I like it so far...
