Just got my positive test last week and honestly im scared to even take a paracetamol now. I keep some random tablets at home for headache and cold, so wanted to know which ones are a strict no during these months. Will confirm with my gynac too but pls share what your docs told you to avoid.
The safe answer is to never self prescribe during pregnancy. Even something that seems harmless can need checking. Keep your gynac's number handy and ask before taking anything.
I made it a rule to not take a single tablet without asking my gynac, even common painkillers. There's a whole list of things to avoid and it's safest to let the doctor guide. Please run anything past them first.
There are several medicines to avoid, like certain painkillers and antibiotics, but the list is long and case specific. I always double checked with my doctor. Don't rely on memory or the internet for this.
