Shel,
Considering the unknowns and my personal experience: I was taking a tricyclic AD twenty years ago and had an unplanned pregnancy. Even though I got off the med when I realized I was pregnant, there has always been a nagging in the back of my mind that my now nineteen year-old's rather marked ADHD may have been caused by the exposure in the first trimester. If there is any way to be med free during pregnancy I would highly recommend it. Class C - no one knows for sure. If the depression got severe enough, ECT is a safer way to go during pregnancy. One bright note is that I felt better while pregnant than at most other times in my life.
BTW, my son was born in the Rheinland Pfalz area of Deutschland. Meine Deutsch ist nicht so gut. Please enjoy your time in Austria. The scenery and history are awesome. Take in all that you possibly can. May I come visit? I loved the Alps. My husband loved the French flea markets and food.Guten Nacht and blessings,
Chris A.
