I think you may have meant to say "Lexapro"? Lexipril doesn't exist in any of my searches.

The manufacturer guidelines state the following information, regarding the use of Lexapro during pregnancy:

"Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, especially if you are in the last few months of your pregnancy, or if you plan to become pregnant or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking escitalopram, call your doctor. Escitalopram (lexapro) may cause problems in newborns following delivery if it is taken during the last months of pregnancy."

I hope this helps!
