SSRIs in Pregnancy: Benefits, Risks, & Your Options
Description
Let’s talk about something that affects so many mamas but often gets brushed under the rug—mental health during pregnancy. In this episode, I’m getting real about SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors), what they are, how common they are, the benefits and the risks (yes, for both mom and baby), and—most importantly—the wide range of options available to you.
This episode came straight from one of you (I love when that happens!), and I want you to know that no matter where you are on your mental health journey, there's no shame—just support. We’re digging deep into this one, and I hope it gives you clarity, peace of mind, and confidence.
