Both prescription and over-the-counter medications should be avoided during pregnancy if at all possible.

That said, maternal stress can also harm the fetus with affects ranging from increasing the child's risk of developing anxiety and mood disorders to inducing miscarriage.  

However, whenever possible, psychotherapy such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy should be tried first.  Also,many women find that their anxiety, depression and stress diminishes during pregnancy.

 

Best wishes
