During my first two pregnancies not too many psych meds were even invented/available. During my first pregnancy, even though I was absolutely over the moon with happiness about the pregnancy I struggled mightily with severe depression. The post-partum depression was horrible. But meds just were not an option back then.

My second pg was much easier, but my depression and anxiety was still marked.

I breastfed for a couple of years after each pregnancy. No meds.

Third time I was pregnant I had been on meds for many years. The pregnancy so sadly ended in a miscarriage right at the 12-week mark. I have considered that meds might have contributed to that loss. For one thing, meds have raised my blood pressure- not a good thing during pregnancy.

My niece was on Ativan during both of her pregnancies and everything was fine.
