Prenatal antidepressant use linked to preterm birth, newborn seizures

From Reuters (5/30):

Babies born to mothers who took antidepressants during the second trimester were more likely to be born earlier than other babies, according to a study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology. The risk of seizure was also higher in newborns whose mothers took selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors during the third trimester.
