I think all will be well.. I would also talk with your doc about a somewhat better alternative for your depression, there are a few out there. Serzone is a Category C medication, basically means no data either way but avoid unless the benefit outweighs the risk. Here's a site with info on it and pregnancy:

Hope this helps put your mind to ease. :) Good Luck and Congratulations!! :)
