Can midol stop early pregnancy?

It is important to read the label of your box of Midol. Some types of Midol are NSAIDs - non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are contraindicated in pregnancy. It most likely will not cause a miscarriage, but it can create persistent changes in the baby's circulation that can cause grave harm to the baby once it is born.

Other types of Midol are acetaminophen based. These types of Midol are considered safe to use in pregnancy. Make sure you read the box and find out which one you have. Remember pregnant moms - don't take NSAIDs in pregnancy!

This is a partial answer. See above for a more complete answer. No. Midol contains acetaminophen (paracetamol), one of the safest pain relievers there is, and caffeine. Neither of these cause miscarriage. However the literature states that you should consult a health professional before use if you are pregnant or breast feeding.

Answer 2

A previous answer stated that paracetamol (tylenol), could have adverse effects on the fetus. As noted above, it is one of the safest medications available for pain and fever during pregnancy when used in recommended dosages. There is no reason for concern if you took this drug while pregnant!

Can you drink alcohol during your first trimester?

Is it normal to get dizzy during postpartum?

Yes because your hormones are trying to balance to a level. Being pregnant really changes your hormones as I am sure you know and giving birth a shock to a woman's body even though it's a nature process. It takes time for the hormones to go back to a decent level. You may feel lethargic, dizzy, over-tired because you are adjusting to having a new baby in the house and not getting much sleep. If you can try asking your mother for some help and if she can't help or you live far apart then ask a good friend and by all means you husband or boyfriend should be giving you a hand so you can get some rest. See your doctor when you have these dizzy feelings and let him make the diagnosis. Perhaps you are deficient in a vitamin.

Is it normal not to eat much during your first trimester?

It is normal to have trouble eating, but you need to do your best, because it is not good for you or the baby if you don´t eat. If you do not eat enough calories and nutrients for the both of you, the baby will rob your body of all of it´s stored nutrients, damaging your health.
