Has anyone ever taken Prozac during pregnancy. I just saw a psychiatrist, and he prescribed me Prozac to treat OCD and Anxiety disorder. I am 6 months pregnant, and a bit hesitant. But, according to him & my OB, the symotoms of my anxiety will only worsen with the pregnancy and birth of my baby.
What should I do?????

> What should I do?????I did take prozac during my pregnancy with my third child. I, too, was assured that everything would be fine, which it was. My baby was born healthy, but I will always wonder. She seemed very fussy after she was born, and weighed less than her brother and sister did. I think it's up to you. I really did need to take it, or else I wouldn't have.
