I have headache and mild cold but I am scared to take any medicine from home box. Before pregnancy I would just take whatever was there. Do you always call gynac for even small things?
My doctor gave me a small list of what I could take for fever or acidity and told me to avoid the rest. The same medicine can be fine in one case and not another, so a general list online isnt reliable. Always confirm with your gynac.
Please dont take any medicine on your own in pregnancy, even common ones, some are not safe. I always called my gynac before taking anything, even for a headache. Let your doctor tell you whats safe for your case.
Honest answer, only what your doctor approves. Many over the counter meds are a no in pregnancy. I kept my gynacs number handy and asked before popping anything. Dont self medicate.
Beta, the safest rule is to ask your doctor before any tablet. Even simple home medicines can affect baby. Keep a list of your safe options from your gynac and stick to that.
