Dear lybrate-user, I am not able to see your medications in this site. Many medications are not tested fully for safety during pregnancy. Your doctor will assess the risk of your OCD causing problems of birth defect and the risk of tablets causing them. It depends on which stage or pregnancy also - more risk with tablets within first 11 weeks of pregnancy. You obstetrician will do a special ultra sound test and blood tests to rule out birth defects. I can not advise you without the details. One advice is NOT to stop medicines of OCD without consulting the psychiatrist or taking alternate CBT with ERP.
