My wife, age 27 year undergoing ocd treatment since our marriage about last 3.5 years. She was taking�sertraline�.we are not planning for baby for this medication, thought once medication stops or reduced we will plan for a child. In the mean time I change my job and move to new city. We approach a new doctor, we explain all things to doctor, doctors advice?s to postpone our child planning for few months, and doctor wants result and wants to change medicine,�prescribed flunil 40, clonil 25, rospitril 0.5. Last 20 days�she was taking this medicine. Now problem is she missed her period and we check for pregnancy and found positive. Consult gynecologist, and gynecologist said it has�been 34 days she pregnant. Please suggest what to do now, should we continue pregnancy? Or abort it and continue medication? As the medicines are not safe for pregnancy and it is going to our first child, I do not want to take any risk.

all the above medicines taken by your wife are us FDA category c drugs ,these drugs are given during pregnancy only if their benefits outweigh their risks . category-C means that reproduction studies in animals have shown adverse effects on the fetus ,but there have been no substantial studies in humans to prove that these medicines are teratogenic. these medicines if given in the last 3 months of pregnancy cause withdrawal symptoms in the new born baby. you should consult your doctor ,and if plan to continue the pregnancy reduce the dose and amount of medicines and gradually taper them
