Mothers-to-be who take antidepressants during their pregnancy have a far

higher risk of suffering a miscarriage, according to a new report.

Researchers from the University of Montreal found the risk of miscarriage rose

by 68

per cent among pregnant women taking the drugs. Depression is very common

during pregnancy due to the hormonal upheaval, with one in 30 women taking

antidepressants while expecting a baby. Selective serotonin reuptake

inhibitors, especially paroxetine and also venlafaxine were associated with

increased risk of miscarriage as were higher daily doses of either

antidepressant. A combination of different antidepressants doubled the risk of

miscarriages.
