Just Stand Up and Say NO to Drugs When Pregnant

I have over the past 10 years or more written extensively about the risk of harm to the health of pregnant women and their baby from SSRI anti depressant drugs.

It is also interesting to note too about Rh negative mothers with Rh negative babies and the fact that the mercury containing Rho-Gam shot can and does lead to autism.

But re-focusing on the push for requiring all pregnant women to take SSRI drugs to allegedly prevent Post Partum Depression or PPD is insanity at its best.  The risk of heart damage to the bay alone is enough to throw this push out the door as quickly as one can.  Maybe we need to force SSRIs on the bureaucrats that write such ridiculous policy.

This video is very telling and this woman is not alone -

Also of note is a new report on depression and new mothers from Chicago today suggesting that 40 percent of new mothers are depressed.

Physiologically this may in fact be nutritional deficiency and thyroid or adrenal stress.  Certainly the mainstream medical folks need to put this all into the proper perspective.  And in the interim pregnant women need to just say 'NO' to these drugs.
