Absolutely, medicines have a huge impact, so please never self-medicate. After my IVF journey, I became so cautious that I would message my doctor even before taking a simple paracetamol. Your baby's safety is everything.
Yes, certain medicines can cross the placenta, so you have to be extremely careful. Even after my C-section, I was only given specific safe painkillers by my doctor. Always get a prescription first.
Yes, medicines can definitely affect your pregnancy and the baby. Even for simple things like a cold or headache, I never took anything without checking with my doctor first, and focused on clean food and steam inhalation instead.
Yes, medicines are categorized by safety levels (like Category A, B, C) on health apps. Many over-the-counter pills can be harmful, so always scan your prescriptions and verify with your doctor first.
Oh yes, absolutely! 😮 Please don't take any random medicines, even for a simple headache or fever. Always call your gynac first and let them prescribe what is safe for your baby! Stay safe! ❤️
