To study infant outcomes was beyond the scope of the present study.The Norwegian healthcare system has a tradition for routine TDM of psychotropic drugs.The MBRN is a population‐based registry containing information on all births in Norway since 1967.First, a combined laboratory TDM file was created, containing all serum concentration measurements (for any drug) in the period October 1999 to December 2011 for all women of reproductive age (i.e., born 1950–2000).
Some early research suggested that antipsychotic medication doubled this risk, to 4 in every 100 women taking an antipsychotic. Ask your psychiatrist or GP if you have any concerns about how antipsychotic medication may be affecting your baby. 1) Pregnancy test – as clinically indicated 2) BMI and waist circumference measurements – when a new antipsychotic is initiated, at every visit (monthly for inpatients) for 6 months after the new antipsychotic is initiated, and quarterly when the antipsychotic dose is stable.
Paroxetine and fluoxetine in pregnancy: a prospective, multicentre, controlled, observational study. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines 1 recommends that you should continue an antipsychotic if, without it, you are likely to become unwell again.. You may not have had an antipsychotic before, but may have to start it for the first time when trying to get pregnant, during pregnancy or when breastfeeding. Talk to your midwife and health visitor if you have any questions about breastfeeding. The principal finding is that the serum concentrations of quetiapine and aripiprazole decrease by more than 50% during pregnancy, a change that is likely to be of clinical relevance.
However, if you have had a psychotic illness, you will still need to take an antipsychotic medication to stay well.

Your GP or psychiatrist can refer you for a pregnancy planning appointment with a perinatal psychiatrist.
Pregnancy can be a wonderful time in your life – but it does not protect against mental illness.
analyzed the data, A.A.W. Although pregnancy is known to cause changes in drug pharmacokinetics, little is known about its impact on serum levels of antipsychotics. The figures to the left show each of the observed serum concentrations of the study, adjusted to the doses presented in the figure headings.
