Can one take sertraline (Zoloft) while pregnant?

It is generally safe to take sertraline (Zoloft) while pregnant, as studies have not shown an increased risk of birth defects in over 6000 pregnant women. However, it is important to speak with your doctor before making any decisions about continuing, reducing, or stopping the medication during pregnancy. The decision should be based on the potential benefits of treating the condition versus the potential risks to the baby. Ultimately, the choice to take sertraline during pregnancy varies from woman to woman.
