My wife would kill me for asking this, but:
Can you do an episode about being pregnant and needing medications?

My wife suffers from depression and is supposed to be on anti-depresants. But, since she's pregnant, she can't take her meds. As you can imagine, that's just making the pregnancy that much more difficult.
What medications are ok to take while pregnant? What are the dangers of taking meds while pregnant? How long after giving birth should a new mom wait before going back on her meds?

Thanks!
