A 35-year-old G2P1 female presents to the clinic at 10 weeks gestation for her first prenatal visit. She has a history of major depressive disorder, well-controlled on sertraline 100 mg daily for the past 2 years. She is concerned about continuing her medication during pregnancy. What is the most appropriate recommendation regarding her sertraline regimen?
✓ Correct Answer: Option C
Untreated major depression in pregnancy carries significant risks to both mother and fetus. Sertraline is generally considered a first-line antidepressant in pregnancy, with a relatively low risk profile. Discontinuation or switching without compelling reason is often not recommended due to relapse risk.
