i wondered if any of you continued to take quetiapine during pregnancy and how things went with you and the baby? i am in the process of deciding what to do about it. Many thanks
Yes, well actually I had a home visit from a psychiatrist from the perinatal mental health team yesterday and he was saying that owing to the lack of evidence (and research) about effects of medication on the foetus, and knowing that there is a higher rate of depression in pregnancy for those who are bi-polar, and post-matal psychosis, that it would not be unreasonable to stay on my medication or maybe just decrease it a bit. They are more concerned with maintaining the health of the mother.He also told me about a woman with same diagnosis and same medication in similar amountys who got pregnant with twins and neither she nor the twins have had any problems and they are a few weeks old now. A friend of mine also said similar about a friend of hers.
