To answer the first question regarding weight gain. I was on depakote and zyprexa at the same time (also serzone) and I gained about 20 pounds. But I think it was the depression in addition to the meds. I was depressed, so I ate, then I gained weight and got more depressed, so I ate more. I changed serzone to remeron and stopped the zyprexa and I've lost 12 pounds so far, so I know I'm feeling better.
My experience as far as the prozac and pregnancy is concerned is I was on 40 mg. prozac when I decided to have my third child and stopped taking the prozac, on my own and was pretty depressed during the pregnancy, at around 7 months pregnant, my doctor let me go back on a low dose, 10 mg. and then increased it to 20 mg. after the baby was born (because I was breast-feeding). My daughter is fine. I would try to get through the pregnancy without meds if you can, but if it is too difficult for you, try lowering the dose for the health of your child.
Good luck to you both
