Escitalopram also known by the brand names Lexapro and Cipralex among others, is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class.
It has side effect on pregnancy if you are chronic user .And pregnancy at the age of 42 itself has many side effects.
So consultation prior to planning pregnancy is must in your case.
Thanks
