I keep worrying about using prozac when I was pregnant. I'm gonna bring it up with my son's pediatrician at his check-up, but it's kinda driving me nuts! What if I caused him to have a heart defect or some other problems? I know a major problem would have shown up by now, but then there are some things you don't see with heart issues til they are older and more active. I just wish I hadn't taken it at all sometimes. It made me feel better. I'm taking it now, it helps a lot. But if I ever get pregnant again, I think I'll do like the first time and not take any meds, except of course my synthroid now that I don't have a thyroid, because you have to take that and you actually need to take it to keep your pregnancy. Hope I didn't hurt him any, wish I could change things. My doctor assured me that it was safe for pregnancy. Now I feel awful.

Thanks for the reply :) My pediatrician wasn't worried either. She said anything caused by the prozac would have shown up by now.

I think your son will be fine! My cousin took prozac when she was pregnant also and her five kids are fine. Try not to worry...I know it's difficult because I'm a worrier too. Take care!
