Can I Take While Pregnant

I have been prescribed bactrim that has 58\98 on it and I took all my doses and later I took a pregnancy test because I was late and I ended up two weeks pregnant can that harm the baby? ## How do you know how far along you are, unless you've already had a doctor's exam? As to the antibiotic, it is very doubtful that it would cause harm that early on, but it is best to see an OB Gyn and let them know that you were taking it, to be certain. Have you already set up an appointment with one? ## I have actually heard that it can be harmful in the first three months of pregnacy can cause blindness but I sorry usually when you are two weeks pregnant it won't even show on a test cause the hormone so low so you gotta be farther. I know this for fact have had five kids and pregnant my...

I'm having trouble sleeping at night n i have pliva 433 and i'm 5 weeks pregnant. Is it safe to take? ## The pill with the Pliva 433 marking contains 50mgs of Trazodone, which is an SARI antidepressant, which can cause drowsiness, as a side effect. And the FDA classifies it as being in pregnancy category C, because studies have shown an increase in congenital abnormalities, when it was used by pregnant animals. Learn more Trazodone details here. Thus, I'd suggest speaking to your doctor, before taking it. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Try over the counter sleep aids while pregnant before you take any kind of prescription for help sleeping. Before I was pregnant I was on a cocktail of prescription medications (vyvanse, xanax, hydrocodone, fentanyl, gabapentin) th...

Have you consulted your doctor about this?

Is anyone else pregnant and taking Vii? I have the episodes of sleep paralysis, hallucinations etc. IS THIS EFFECTING MY BABY? My OB said he loves Vii and his patients like it HOGWASH!!!!!!!!!! I start a new OB next week I am curious what she thinks?!?!?! Any comments are more than welcome! Aksonflower ## Hi, Aksonflower! I understand your concern and it may be well founded, under the drug category listing, it's a pregnancy category C, which means that animal studies have shown evidence of fetal risk. No controlled studies have been done in humans, of course, since that would be unethical, but it is suggested that you should make sure that the benefits outweigh the risks, before using it in a pregnant woman. And if I'd been on any type of medication back when I had my son, thoug...

Can you take Chantix if you are pregnant? ## It says you should not take it if you are pregnant, because theyare not sure what effect it may have on the baby ## I would suggest consulting with your doctor, they will weigh the pros and cons of your using it while pregnant and let you know what they think you should do. ## I became pregnant in October right after being prescribed Chanix. I never did take it because my doctor said GUARENTEED it will cause birth defects. Of course this is 2010 and the original post was 2008 so I hope you and your baby are well/

Is it safe to take eryko 250 tablets while im pregnant? I'm 33 weeks now. ## Has your doctor prescribed it for you?

Because one doesn't work?? Please I need a quick answer ? ## Hi, Esmeralda! Are you feeling any better? When it comes to something like this and your pregnancy, you really need to consult your doctor. The health of your kidneys could play a role here, as well as the fact that you're pregnant and any other medications you may be taking. It's just really not a good idea for someone online with such limited information to give you a definitive answer in such a s...

soooo i have had the jadelle for two and a half years now. im not to sure how it works really! um my period hasnt come for like almost 3months now i look like i am pregnant. i thought it was the jadelle koze it says that you gain weight while on it, I feel tiered all the time idk? what happens to the baby if you are pregnant and you have the jadelle??? last question: do you get pregnant and then the jadelle kills the baby, how does it work?? ## I am so very sorry that this was not properly explained to you. No, it does not kill the baby, it prevents you from becoming pregnant to begin with, so there is never a baby (fetus) to worry about. Basically, while using it, you do not drop an egg, so fertilization cannot occur. Weight gain and irregular periods can be a normal side effect it, ac...

Can pregnant women take apetito tablets? ## Are you referring to the weight loss product? If so, I haven't been able to find any information on what it contains and I'd have to advise no, weight loss is not something a pregnant woman should be concerned with. She needs to eat more to maintain optimal health for both her and the baby. Have you discussed such things with your doctor? ## I am 2cmonths pregnant and am losing weight very much.

Can you take this medication while you're pregnant? My friend is taking this and she is saying that she is pregnant. ## Hello, Amber! How is your friend doing? Hydrochloride in itself is not a medication, it simply designates the specific chemical salt that a medication has been derived from, as explained by the NIH. Thus, there should be some other component to the name of the medication, for example, Oxycodone Hydrochloride, or Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride. Thus, can you please double check the name of the medication and post back? Thanks!

I have been using nustrate since after the birth of my 19month old son. my period stopped completely about a year ago but recently I have been spotting, for about a week now. I have had headaches,nausea, I feel bloated, my trousers are very tight around my waist and I experience all these symptoms at the same time. could I be pregnant? also I stopped breastfeeding about 2 months back but my breasts still have milk ## There is a risk of pregnancy, but not a very high one.

Other side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, headache, and PMS-like symptoms. Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications? ## I am not ...

Hi I am 2 months pregnant and my doctor gave me doxytet for an infection.it was a 7day medication the following day after I finished my medication I have been bleeding the whole day and having cramp. Could it be I lost my baby. Pliz help. ## Hi, Meme! I am very sorry about the problem you're having. However, in such cases, I can't stress the importance of contacting your doctor immediately or going to your nearest emergency treatment facility. As much as myself and others online would love to help you, if measures need to be taken to protect your life and that of your baby, there is nothing we can do over the Internet. And the delay of posting online to wait for a response could make a very big difference. What is happening now?

I just started taking birth control and it's been about 3 weeks now! My boyfriend came in me today. Coul I be pregnant? Help !!! Also I'm still bleeding ## Hi, Ashley! How are you? Did you start taking it on the first day of your period? If so, then you were immediately protected from pregnancy, because it prevents ovulation from occurring, unless you missed any pills. If you started later during your period, or at some other part of your cycle, then it becomes effective after 7 days. The bleeding can be a normal side effect, due to your body needing to get used to the hormones in these contraceptives, but you should consult your doctor to be certain. ## Yes I started the moment I saw that I was bleeding! I haven't been taking it at the exact same time though because I wasn...

I'm on day 5of my period amd I'm on enskycewhat would happen if I missed my pills doig ovulation could I get pregnant ## Hello, Heather! How are you? If you missed pills during your period week, it won't make a difference. They are inactive and you don't ovulate that week. Each missed active pill can increase your risk of pregnancy, but you'd really have to miss them around the time of the month that you ovulate, for the risk to be any higher. By suppressing your natural hormones with oral contraceptives, it prevents ovulation from occurring. Typical side effects to oral contraceptives, as listed by the FDA, may include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, breakthrough bleeding and PMS like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with?
