Think of all the women who are already on antidepressents who don't know they are pregnant for 6 to 8 weeks.

A woman is suspicious she's become pregnant way before that point. A lot of those ads for other stuff on TV include "if you're pregnant or might become pregnant...." in the list of those who shouldn't take the drugs. I would've assumed such retrictions were on anti-depressents, too.

The problem with "crack babies" has been known for over a generation. Why would these other drugs be any different in those effects?

“A woman is suspicious she’s become pregnant way before that point.”

Some women are, some aren’t.

“A woman is suspicious she’s become pregnant way before that point.”

Not if she’s got PCOS.

Part of the problem is that these women can't just "quit" SSRIs once they realize they might be pregnant.

They are HIGHLY addictive and they'll definitely blow a circuit, risking death, if they quit cold turkey.
