anxiety issues, meds, & pregnancy

I am seeking info. from anyone who has been pregnant and was struggling with whether or not to continue their meds. If you have any input at all from personal experiences or have any helpful knowledge, it would be great. I am 27 weeks along and stopped taking my meds. (was also taking Stratera) when I found out I was pregnant. I know life can be stressful, I live it up everyday with a 10 year old with ADHD and I also have an 8 year old. I am married and in nursing school. So life can get pretty hairy sometimes. I also have to work part-time in order to keep my scholarship. So I have been struggling with taking my Zoloft again or try to get to December. When I first stopped my meds. my doc said he would like it if I could stay off until birth, but if we needed to reascess the situation, he was willing. Sorry this wasn't a short story, just wondering if any one has any personal experiences to pass on.

Thanx
