Prozac has been the best studied of the SSRIs regarding birth defects. Being around the longest, I guess that it has not displayed teratogenicity is significant. Prozac has demonstrated itself to be safe for pregnant women to take.
Some doctors counsel their patients to discontinue antidepressants during the first trimester if there is any concern of adverse effects on the fetus. Of course, the risk here is that, if lost, the antidepressant response may not be fully recaptured.
