I was told that it hasn't been tested at all, not that it isn't safe. They are just starting to do testing on the affects of Ad's and pregnancy. I did a LOT of research on it and the general concenous is that Prozac and Zoloft are the two that have been steadied the most and deemed safe enough to take while pregnant.
I don't think I ever came across anything that said if you take Lexapro while pregnant, something bad will happen but I didn't want to chance it. All AD's are a class C drug anyways, which means they should only be taken when the benefit to the mother out weighs any possible harm to the baby. I tried not to take any AD's but I was miserable, down right suicidal. I gave it about 4 months without any medication before I made the decision to take zoloft. A slightly medicated, HAPPY mom is much better than a depressed, suicidal mom anyday!
