Sertraline and birth
Hey. Not sure if this is the right group to post in.
I am 22 weeks pregnant, second time mum. But first time on sertraline.
I have severe health anxiety and OCD traits (all about germs) I have been on sertraline since Jan and feel so much better.
My question is have anyone of you been on this while pregnant. I know the side effects are very rare and tbh the risk to me not being on them for my MH isn't worth not having them. I wondered if people have to stay in hosp a little longer after birth (I'm having a elective section. Due to a very traumatic emergency section last time which triggered my breakdown. )
Thanks so much.
Hi! I was on sertraline while I was pregnant and also had a c-section. I didn’t have to stay longer than the 2 days they require.
