I was taking metformin for PCOS before and now im pregnant, thoda confused whether to continue. Planning to ask my gynac on next visit but wanted to hear from others too. Anyone been through this?
I know how scary it feels to take any medicine when your little one is inside you, I felt the same anxiety. But metformin is safe and actually protects both of u from sugar spikes. Trust your doctor, you are doing a great job caring for your baby.
Honestly, I freaked out when my doctor wrote metformin because I thought diabetes medicine would harm the baby. But my gynac explained it actually prevents complications. It turned out to be completely fine and my delivery went smoothly!
I actually took metformin throughout my whole pregnancy because of my high sugar levels. My baby was born perfectly healthy last month! It's totally safe if your doctor has recommended it to keep your levels stable, so don't panic.
Beta, metformin is usually given by doctors to control sugar or PCOS, so if your gynac prescribed it, then it's fine. Along with it, try to eat methi seeds soaked in water or walk a bit after meals. But don't change any medicine dose yourself, always listen to doctor.
Yes, metformin is very commonly prescribed during pregnancy for managing gestational diabetes or insulin resistance. Gynacs have been using it safely for years. Just make sure you take the exact dosage your doctor advised and get your regular blood sugar checks done.
