If the mother is using barbiturates, the baby's first experience in this world will be the pleasure of drug withdrawal.

enemas should be used in any stage of pregnancy. Ask your OBGYN to prescribe a gentle laxative or ask how to improve your diet in fibre. Its perfectly natural for this to happen because as your baby grows inside you, he/she is displacing digestive organs/stomach muscles, just about anything that helps you eliminate naturally. It is up to you to find ways of keeping yourself regular whilst you are pregnant. Common sense goes a long way, enemas is not one of them. By using an enema in your condition you could rupture yourself irreparably in the process.

You can take antibiotics from penicillin group like penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, piperacillin etc with clavulanic acid.

When indicated you can use aminoglycoside like gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin with possibility to some risk to fetus. Aminoglycosides are used for as short period as possible. You can use chloramphenicol in pregnancy, when indicated.

I don' t know if they CAUSE a miscarriage...but my doctor had me ween myself off of them before I got off the pill and tried to get pregnant. Look up the website for the brand of pills and see if there are any warnings pertaining to pregnancy/miscarriages. Or, call your doctor- the best bet for a quick answer that won't leave you wondering.

Yes, any of the following antacids are tradionally ok by most ob/gyns, but check with yours to be 100% sure. Alternagel, Amphogel, Maalox, Mylanta, Pepcid, Piopan, Rolaids, Tagamet, Tums, Zantac The following should not be used during pregnancy: AlkaSeltzer, PeptoBismol (they both contain aspirin)

You shouldn't ask important questions like this from an unqualified web-site. Your doctor should be able to answer any concerns about mixing medication.

Yes it safe, i am 6 weeks pregnant and my doctor prescribed it.

I used to have amazing orgasms (when I wasn't taking an SSRI). It took me no time, no fantasy was required, just intense, brilliant, full-body, muscle contracting long lasting orgasms (with or without a partner). When I started taking Lexapro, that stopped. I wasn't concerned as that was usually the case on SSRI's, and I knew it would go back to normal after I stopped taking it. It's been over a year now since I stopped taking Lexapro and I still can't have an orgasm. Nothing. I have a libido, sexual stimulation, but NO orgasm. I keep thinking I'm crazy, that it can't really be true, so I try, and try, and try. Nothing. I keep hoping that maybe it's just going to take a while, and it will gradually return to normal, but it's not. There isn't even a glimmer of anything resembling an orgasm. If there was one thing I could undue in my life, it would be this. My sex life is forever changed. I NEVER would have taken this drug if I knew that the potential for permanent sexual side effects existed. I think that this is criminally unfair. I can't believe the kind of sex life I used to have is just quickly becoming a distant memory instead of an ongoing and beautiful part of my current life and future. Devastating doesn't come close to describing how I feel. I WOULD DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM TAKING LEXAPRO!

Omg yes ! I told my obgyn that when I'm on prenatal I bleed during/after intercourse. He told me that was not the problem. I said well this never happened before I took the vitamins, and I stopped taking them For awhile and I haven't been bleeding. He assured me it wad just coincidence. Needless to say his only point was prenatal make you fertile so they wouldn't cause bleeding. And rough intercourse would be the culprit. ( this is what happens when somebody who doesn't know your body like you do tells you what's wrong) anyway um good luck. But I have PROVEN that it IS the prenatals. And it may have some thing to do with anemia, fish allergies etc.

Using Chloraseptic is ok to use, but only the childrens one because it has less things in it to harm the baby.

Yes, you can. I got a list from my OB and for heartburn/indigestion you can take pepcid, tums, zantac, mylanta, or tagamet.

You shouldn't take any drugs early on in your pregnancy. Your should wait until the second or third month. Your baby is stronger at this stage.

In any case, the general rule of thumb is: take medication only on the advice of a practitioner who knows you are pregnant, and only when it is absolutely necessary.

One treatment that is safe for pregnancies is inhalation of a steam vaporizer, humidifier, or steaming kettle. You can prepare a tent by draping a sheet over an open umbrella that is resting on a chair back. Place the humidifier on a chair. Spend 15 minutes 3 or 4 times a day under the tent; extend the time to 30 minutes if you aren't too uncomfortable. Don't stay under the tent if you become uncomfortably warm. Keep the humidifier near your bedside when you are sleeping or resting.

Another treatment is drinking additional fluids. Drink 8 ounces of liquid every hour, including water, juices, soups. Hot fluids (here comes the chicken soup) are best. Limit milk intake only if recommended by your doctor.

As far as any over-the-counter or prescription medications, you should seek advice from your doctor. Not 100% of the medication, over-the-counter or prescription, herbal or not, works 100% of the time for 100% of the women or is 100% safe for those women. Other medications should be discussed with your doctor if your coughing is out of hand or due to some other illness.

Whenever I or someone in m family has a cough we mix 1 teaspoon of honey with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice - the liquid will be quite thick so u dont have to swallow all in one go - split taking that small amount in 3 intervals - you should notice the cough easing off quite soon after . Good luck

Insulin is not bad for pregnant woman and the baby. Nevertheless it is recommended drug for diabetes during pregnancy.

Yes, absolutely! Docolax is safe and soft on the sensitive tummy!

No.... Prescription pain killers can cause harm to the development of the fetus. If you are in pain, take Tylenol. If Tylenol does not work, call your OB Dr.

NO

Insulin is classified as category B in pregnancy.Insulin glargine (Lantus), an insulin analog which is suitable for once-daily dosing, is classified as category C

Yes -- ascorbic acid is vitamin C, and is in many foods recommended in pregnancy (such as fruit and vegetables) as well as most pre-natal vitamin supplements. As with all supplements, moderation is the key.

There are different types of anti-infammatory medications. There are steroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs). Cortisone is a steroid. Ibuprofen and Naproxen are types of NSAIDs. You need to know exactly what type of anti-inflammatory medication you are allergic to.

i have taken it while on amoxicillin.

I'm not positive, but I would think it would be in there as long as it would be in your own system. Hydrocodone is water soluble and therefore is out rather quickly.

All that will make you lose is water weight and the moment you drink something you will gain it right back. However, if you are looking to make yourself miserable then yes it does work. Not worth it though.

i would definatly ask your doctor. i think it would be a very bad idea to take it with out talking to your doctor. Paracetamol. Yes. Codeine. Well it's not advised at all. It'd be best to change the co-codamol to paracetamol... or Tylenol if your a yank.
