A much bigger study, and numerous other studies, none of which prove causation, only relationship, showed no increased risk. The risk of untreated depression and anxiety in pregnancy is clearly proven. The increased risk of autism, if it even exists as a result of SSRI’s, is tiny, even if double the risk in untreated women
