B Long Before And During Pregnancy

I take 20mg of Prozac but do not know if i should stop it before getting pregnant? Is there anyone who got pregnant while on Prozac and the baby was fine with no issue, birth defects, complications? Has anyone stopped taking Prozac before getting pregnant and how did you do with your depression? ## Animal studies have revealed no evidence of fetal harm, but it is always best to consult your physician to be sure it is safe for you to take. The NIH does lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and mood changes. Are you on any other medications?

Is it safe drinking lagundi syrup even if I'm in my 4th week of pregnancy? My throat hurts. ## HI, Nette! Congrats on the baby! As to Lagundi, since this is an herbal product, not an actual medication, it hasn't been studied to see if it's safe to use during pregnancy. It would be best for you to see your doctor, before taking anything, to make sure that you only take something that is safe and won't harm your baby. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have a cough and cold and I'm 3 months pregnant...what medicine should I take? I cant sleep because of headaches.

I'm in my 21st week of pregnancy and my doc advised me to take ecosprin 75 before sleeping. She said I had a little bit of uterine artery resistance on one side. Can u explain why and how escoprin will clear my problem? ## Ecosprin contains the active ingredient Aspirin, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. In this dose and in cases like yours, it is used for its blood thinning properties, to help increase blood flow. With this artery resistance, it can inhibit blood flow to that side of the uterus and proper blood flow is vital to the baby for their health and survival. When you lay down to sleep, all of your weight is basically just completely resting and can further constrict the blood flow. Side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and stomach irritation. ## i...

I take gentilax for constipation, but I just learned I am pregnant.

I am on several medications and I would like to know if they harm a baby early in a pregnancy. I may be pregnant, less than 3 weeks along (waiting for blood tests) but I am worried that my life-long medications have already harmed the baby if I am in fact pregnant. Is it still too early for the medications to have had an effect? I have cerebral palsy and chronic pain and am on these medications to treat all my symptoms - Tramadol, Ibuprofen, Diazepam, Temazepam, Cetirizine, Paracetamol, Propanolol, Amitriptyline, Oxybutynin and Tranexamic Acid. ## Hi Emma, Quoted below are the pregnancy warnings for each of the 10 drug names that you mentioned in your description.
