Pregnancy Medications - Do You Need to Stop Your Medication?

Ana Fox is an obstetrician-gynecologist at the University of California, San Francisco. She says there's nothing she would recommend that would delay a woman getting pregnant. Patients who are on certain medications that are higher risk in pregnancy can still get pregnant - they may just need to be transitions to other effective ones. And patients with mental health issues such as depression or anxiety should not stop their medication if they find out they're pregnant.
