Pregnant Women

Pregnancy needs special care and concern in every trimester. Every day of pregnancy adds something to the baby’s growth. Whatever a mother eats her baby gets the direct nutrients to it. Pregnancy days are not the normal ones where you can eat a Disprin for a headache. Everything you take has got a direct impact on the baby’s development and health. There are very clear guidelines on what over the counter medications and prescription medications are safe and unsafe to take in pregnancy. These medications can cause preterm labor or early miscarriages or high bleeding. Your prenatal provider should have a list available for you and there are many reputable resources online that also provide detailed lists. Always ask your doctor or midwife first before taking any medication.
