I was diagnosed with depression at the time of my pregnancy. I had discontinued taking my AD right before deciding to become pregnant. That is an ordeal unto itself. My doctor said it might be advisable for me to consider staying on the med through pregnancy. I declined and I'm very glad I did, however I should have stayed on top of my mental health care during and after which I did not for various reasons. I don't advise that, but I'm not going to chastise anyone, including myself since I didn't know better at the time. However, consider this advise to stay on top of all things mental health related if you find you are indeed pregnant.
Being on meds or not is very personal. I would feel terrible advising someone even using my experience. talk it over with someone you trust.
