Hi there,
So I came across this website as I was self-diagnosing my Agoraphobia and have come to the conclusion that I definitely have a degree of it. I've recently been diagnosed with depression and was told I was pregnant during the short time I spend at a psychiatric ward.
I know my doctor wants to put me on Sertraline but I fear the harm it may potentially impose on my unborn child. Is there anyone who's been through the same or even a similar situation with meds and pregnancy. I'm really worried about wether or not to accept medication.
Thanks for all the support you all give to others like us.

Welcome to the forums, you'll find plenty of support here. :)

I can't answer your question about meds and pregnancy as I haven't been in that situation - it could be worth asking another doctor for a second opinion if you are concerned.
