Taking any drugs while pregnant is insane. The psychiatric drugs can cause preterm birth, low birth weight, and the likelihood of neonatal hospitalization. Not to mention the sky rocketing cases of autism. And of course there is the problem of a baby going through withdrawal, a baby that screams and cries non-stop and no one knows why.
I realize if you suffer from any form of MI that going without your drugs can can be devastating but maybe you should still try going off your drugs BEFORE you get pregnant (if possible). If you can't handle it without your meds than don't get pregnant.
If you used psychiatric meds while pregnant and your baby is born healthy and happy than you were just very lucky.
