You need to discuss this issue with your doctor(s). Here is a search result I

My best wishes for an uneventful pregnancy.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post. Currently, I am
taking Depakote ER, Zyprexa, Trazodone, and Seroquel, plus Levothroid
for hypothyroidism. I am not pregnant . . . yet but would like to be.
However, if it is going put stress and undue suffering on the baby
during pregnancy and after birth, then, I will feel obligated to try
adoption first. I'd hate to have my child suffer some heart
abnormality, maybe lifethreatening. But I would love any child. I have
been stable on my medications for two years. I read that sometimes the
psychiatric meds can be as bad as babies born to the mothers that used
cocaine, etc., during pregnancy. Is this relatively true? I am not
married presently but you never know when the question might arise.
And if the man I marry wants children, I would like to be honest with
him about what to expect. I will continue to do research. I am trying
to see what options are available to me. I appreciate your time! :0)
