Babies are more likely to be sluggish/sedated, floppy and can also show signs of akathisia and EPS if an AP is used in the last trimester, which is why they need special monitoring/care. I never heard about them causing birth abnormalities, but my huge fear with them is the effect they could have on a foetal brain. After decades of stating that any brain abnormalities/damage was due to psychosis and not AP use, they're only just coming out to admit that they *can* cause brain shrinkage, and if they do that in an adult brain, what effect would they have on foetal brain development??? They might SAY they are safe, but I don't think there's enough research to say that from following up on these children's intellectual/cognitive development, so personally I would categorically refuse to take an AP under any circumstances while pregnant, but then I'm fortunate that I can manage without one.
