Common Questions and Answers about Lexapro and pregnancy first trimester

lexapro

Avatar f tn Lexapro is a Class C medication which means it can be taken while pregnant if the benefits outweigh the risks. A Class C drug means that studies in animals show no ill effects on the fetus but no well-controlled studies have been performed in humans. Discuss this with your doctor BEFORE getting pregnant. Some doctors prefer you avoid Class C medications during the 1st trimester as that is when the potential for birth defects (if applicable) is greatest.
Avatar n tn I'd check w/ your doc and OB. I was on Lexapro and went off but I was also on a smaller dose (5 mg). I've read many different opinions but mostly I've read that during the first trimester it is best to be off. My OB reinforced that if I had any depression whatsoever that there are many safe meds to take. For me, I've been fine going off and have felt fine and am actually glad I'm off! Good luck!

958812 tn?1268764172 s can be taken during pregnancy if the benefits outweigh the risks. Zoloft, Prozac, and Celexa are a few examples of Class C antidepressants that fit into this category. In general, its best to avoid these medications during the 1st trimester, if at all possible, and depending on the dosage you are on you may need to tapper down before delivery as some baby's do experience mild-moderate withdrawal symptoms after delivery. Visteral can be taken during pregnancy for panic attacks.
Avatar f tn This is normal. In my first trimester I actually lost 5 pounds due to morning sickness and lack of appetite.
Avatar f tn I'm 7 weeks into my first pregnancy and I'm still feeling very nauseous. Plus, I have to force myself to eat for my baby. Does the sick feeling go away? Help!
Avatar f tn I'm still in my first trimester, and I feel like I'm always hungry but I have no appetite at all. Is this normal?
Avatar f tn This is my first pregnancy and I don't know if it's normal to be this nervous to make it past the first trimester. Just need something to calm my nerves.
Avatar f tn With my first pregnancy I had period like bleeding. Medium flow and lasted 4day. But I didn't have any cramping. After that I had a normal pregnancy and carried my so. To 39wks.
10185128 tn?1410802667 I would wait until the second trimester. Anything can still happen during the first trimester. The only people that knew and wouldn't tell anyone else was my parents and my fiance. Congratulations!
Avatar n tn This is my first pregnancy. I am expecting September 21. I am 12 weeks and don't really know to expect. My husband and I are really excited. I have had really no appetite this first trimester. Been cramping really bad and feeling nauseous in the evenings. Had morning sickness once. Usually it's just been dry heaves. Oh and I'm tired all the time! We think it's going to be a girl. Can't wait to find out.
Avatar f tn Yea i had it all through out my first trimester and now i am on my second and still a problem i cant keep anything down, but try to stay healthy exercise when you can and eat fat free diet it helps, good luck
Avatar n tn This is my very first pregnancy and I have a yeast infection. It's milky and doesn't have an odor, but what can I take besides monistat to get rid of it? Is there pills my doctor can prescribe?
Avatar f tn I'll be 19 in a couple months and am in my second trimester with my first. My best advice is to not worry so much, eat healthy, listen to your doctor and don't get too stressed out. Though you do have a few medical issues that im sure make you more nervous than some take comfort in the fact that though we're considered young to have children this is the best time, biologically speaking, for us to carry.
10727100 tn?1416715131 But me and baby were fine after a few days. So first trimester was pretty easy besides little things here and there. The beginning of my 2nd trimester was absolutely hellacious. I'd go almost an entire week without being able to even drink water because I'd just puke it up. Its like I was making up for all I lacked in the first lol. I had morning sickness for a bout 2 weeks and then other times if I cough too much I'll puke. But that also got a lot better.
Avatar f tn This will be my first pregnancy and I have so much questions! I'm 4weeks and is it safe to wear some light make up on and do my nail? Is it safe to use lotion that have a scene of smell?
Avatar n tn I had no nausea or vomiting in the first trimester with this pregnancy. I had some in the second trimester though. Every pregnancy is different, no worries:) I'm 38 weeks with a healthy baby girl. Congratulations!
Avatar f tn some women have it the whole pregnancy but it usually goes away in your second trimester and CONGRATULATIONS!!! pregnancy is a weird but joyful filled ride...I'm a ftm myself...
Avatar f tn This is my first pregnancy, 9 wks and having the most horrible time with morning sickness, I feel sick 24/7. And have a loss in appetite, which scares me bc I know I need to eat health, I don't want to eat meats, I crave salads, but just the though of eating meat eww! Any suggestions?
Avatar f tn Its normal to worry about children and once its here u will still worry about it. But with that being said you can't let it take away this joyful time. Pregnancy is a wonderful blessing from God. Listen to ur body and try not to worry so much about what could happen BC that consumes you. Also reading the what to expect when your expecting book helped me a lot. It explains in detail what to expect and what's normal and also what's not so I didn't stress all the time.
Avatar f tn I did have a fatigue feeling going on where I wanted to nap and also bloating during the first trimester. Second trimester was exciting and relaxed no issues, felt his movements, gained weight, found it what I was having, b begin exercising.
Avatar f tn And I have been on the generic form of lexapro for anxiety and depression. My doctor made me get off of it 2 years ago with my last pregnancy and now i know once I tell him I am pregnant again it'll be the same response from him that I need to get off of my pill. Even though I will be a mesa without it. Any ladies on here on lexapro /escitalopram and pregnant?
Avatar f tn Hi im 8 weeks and feel like my hair gets/looks and feels greasy almost all of the time :( Is this a pregnancy symptom?
Avatar f tn Reading other peoples posts on here kinda give you and idea what to expect. First trimester is usually nauseated, tired, and nothing sounds appetizing but you don't actually have to gain weight. Don't worry if you don't have morning sickness but tired is very normal. Second trimester says it all gets better but for me it was better over time. Cramping is normal but bleeding is something you should ask a doctor if it happens.
Avatar f tn I had bleeding in my first trimester. Dr's didn't know why but I am now 7 months and everything's good.
