I have acidity and loose motions after eating outside food and my cousin mentioned Pepto. I am 18 weeks pregnant and not sure if it is okay. Has anyone asked their gynac about this?
Oh, the struggle to find safe medications during pregnancy is so real! It feels like everything is off-limits. Pepto Bismol is one of those that's usually advised against because of an ingredient. It's frustrating, I know, but your doctor can suggest something else that's safer for that upset tummy.
Aho, Pepto Bismol, I think it's better to avoid, ho na? Many people say it's not safe because of some ingredients. For stomach issues, it's always safest to call your gynac and ask what you can take. They will tell you some good options.
Hi there! From what I've seen in the community and heard from doctors, Pepto Bismol is generally NOT recommended during pregnancy, especially not in the second or third trimesters, because it contains bismuth subsalicylate. It's better to talk to your gynac for alternatives for tummy issues. They usually suggest things like antacids that are safer.
My doctor explicitly told me to avoid Pepto Bismol. She explained that it contains bismuth subsalicylate, which is similar to aspirin and can be risky, especially in later pregnancy, as it can affect blood clotting or fetal development. Always ask your gynac for safe alternatives for indigestion or nausea.
Nope, sorry sweetie, Pepto Bismol is usually a big no-no for pregnant ladies! It has ingredients that aren't considered safe for the baby. So, you'll have to find another pink, soothing friend for your tummy troubles. Your doctor can definitely recommend something safer, don't worry!
