Depression affects as many as 25% of pregnant women. Figures from 2003 show that about an eighth of pregnant women take antidepressants at one time or another during pregnancy. Many antidepressants appear to be fairly safe for the unborn babies of those pregnant women, but studies report links between maternal use and an increased risk of some fetal malformations, particularly the heart.

Many lawyers claim to have expertise in such cases but only two Paxil trials were ever won by patients.
