Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Safety of the baby is the main concern. It would be advisable to go for cognitive behavioural therapy. If at all drugs are to be given, escitalopram is relatively safe.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Anxiety during and after pregnancy period is quite common and this is caused by various factors. The prime factor being the hormonal activity. That part is to be taken care of by your gynecologist. Work with your gynecologist. Secondly, the stress related to pregnancy and the expecting trauma and post natal problems, could trigger depression and other related problems. Counseling is applied on this respect. You could also try exercise and meditation. Deep breathing also helps.
Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
