I’m dumbfounded that anti-depressents would be prescribed or taken during pregnancy.
Same here. And when did this practice start, last month?
I can't believe no one has checked into this connection before now.
Me too.
Think of all the women who are already on anti depressants and don’t know they are pregnant for 6 to 8 weeks.
do you have any idea how many chemicals are now present in the body tissues of every one of us? Deliberate ingestion is just one mode.
some of these chemicals affect the developing fetus before the women even knows she is pregnant
A substance that even touches the skin is absorbed into the organs within 20 minutes, and some of the chemicals accumulate. I think it’s possible not only our air, food and drug chain but our “beauty” industry has a something to do with the epidemic of unhealthy children being born to middle and upperclass women
I also wonder why someone who is depressed would intentionally get pregnant.
I'm surprised practically any drug is prescribed during pregnancy! I avoid pharmaceuticals to the utmost as I generally regard the side effects worse than the original malady.
My teeth are a permanent, un-bleachable shade of yellowish off-white because my mother took tetracyclene when she was pregnant with me. I am of the opinion that all drugs should be avoided while pregnant, unless the life of either child or mother is in jeopardy.
Some, if not most, were probably taken before the mother knew she was pregnant

Sure, ASD was around before SSRIs. But a 3fold increase is very significant.
