"Use of antidepressants near delivery and risk of postpartum hemorrhage: cohort study of low income women in the United States"
BMJ Aug 21
http://www.bmj.com/content/347/bmj.f4877
"Conclusions
Exposure to serotonin and non-serotonin reuptake inhibitors, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and tricyclics, close to the time of delivery was associated with a 1.4 to 1.9-fold increased risk for postpartum hemorrhage. While potential confounding by unmeasured factors cannot be ruled out, these findings suggest that patients treated with antidepressants during late pregnancy are more likely to experience postpartum hemorrhage."
