Is it possible when you are pregnant if you take an ssri such as zoloft it can cause your child to get childhood cancer?

Hi,

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI's) may be associated with various neonatal serotonin syndromes. The SSRIs, as well as other antidepressants, have been associated with transient neonatal effects. The risk of pregnancy complications such as miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm birth, shorter gestation, and low birth weight appears to be low, but this is controversial. The overall risk of birth defects following SSRI exposure appears to be low. Several studies have, however, reported an association between paroxetine exposure and cardiovascular defects. These findings remain controversial and await confirmation by other studies.
Thanks,
