Antidepressants during pregnancy?

Hi guys so I am currently on lexapro. My OB would like me on it through my whole pregnant considering with my first I had really bad PPD after my son was born.

I have been reading horror stories about lexapro on a growing baby. That it can cause severe autism and heart defects. It even mentioned withdrawls can pass to your baby and they will have a difficult first month. (The internet is a scary place lol)

Has any momma out there taken lexapro through out pregnancy and had a good out come? Was your baby healthy?

I got off antidepressants with my first because I wanted him to be healthy. But my PPD once he was born was pretty awful for a month until I started taking antidepressants again.
