Which Medications to use during pregnancy
Now, you are probably wondering what you should and shouldn’t do during your pregnancy. Your
health and that of the baby are precious - you don’t want to be exposed to any harm while you are
pregnant.
Many things should be avoided in pregnancy. Here is the list of most important ones:
Avoid Eating Fish that have high Mercury Levels: These may include Swordfish, Tilefish, King mackerel,
Sharkand raw or uncooked fish or shellfish (e.g. clams, oysters, scallops) and refrigerated, uncooked
or smoked fish.
Avoid food-borne Illness: Use the highest standards of hygiene when eating, cooking, handling and
cleaning food! Food-borne illness can cause serious health problems, or even death, for both mother
and baby.
Here is the list of foods which can cause a lot of problems:
- Raw or undercooked meat, poultry, fish or shellfish (sushi or sashimi)
- Refrigerated smoked seafood like whitefish, salmon and mackerel
- Refrigerated meat spreads
- Hot dogs and luncheon meats — unless they're reheated until steaming hot.
- Soft cheeses like feta, brie, camembert, "blue-veined cheeses," "queso blanco," "queso fresco,"
and Panela unless the label says they are pasteurized or made from pasteurized milk.
- Raw or unpasteurized milk and foods that contain unpasteurized milk
- Unwashed fruits and vegetables.
Avoid chemicals. Products that contain herbicides, pesticides, paint, stains, and some cleaning
solutions may be harmful to your baby. If you must use these things, wear gloves, a mask and keep
the room well-ventilated.
Avoid cleaning or changing a cat's litter box. This could put you at risk for an infection called
‘toxoplasmosis’. Toxoplasmosis is caused by a parasite that cats can carry in their feces.
Toxoplasmosis can harm a fetus.
Avoid taking very hot baths, hot tubs, or saunas. High temperatures can be harmful to the fetus or
cause you to faint.
Avoid using scented feminine hygiene products. Pregnant women should avoid scented sprays,
sanitary napkins and bubble bath. These products might irritate your vaginal area, and increase your
risk of a urinary tract infection or yeast infection.
Avoid using a douche. Douching can irritate the vagina, force air into the birth canal and increase the
risk of infection.
Avoid having optional x-rays. X-rays are a form of radiation that may be linked to a very small risk of
cancer for an unborn baby. But x-rays are usually safe during pregnancy. If your doctor says you need
x-rays for a health problem. you should follow their advice. But, sometimes doctors can use other
tests in place of x-rays. At other times, x-rays can wait until after the baby is born.
Avoid smoking tobacco. Tell your doctor if you smoke. Quitting is hard, but you can do it. Ask your
doctor for help. Smoking during pregnancy passes nicotine and cancer-causing drugs to your baby.
Smoke also keeps your baby from getting needed nourishment and raises the risk of stillbirth and
premature birth (a small baby born early).
Avoid drinking alcohol. Stop drinking alcohol.
Don't use illegal drugs. Tell your doctor if you are using drugs. Marijuana, cocaine, heroin, speed
(amphetamines), barbiturates and LSD are very dangerous for you and your baby.
All medications should be avoided during that vital first three months unless prescribed by your doctor
who knows you are in early pregnancy. Later in pregnancy, always check with your doctor or
pharmacist before using even simple over the counter pharmaceuticals. For minor pains and aches, it
is usually safe to use painkillers like Paracetamol and Aspirin.
But, Aspirin should be avoided in the last few weeks of pregnancy as it may cause minor problems
with bleeding during the delivery and jaundice in the baby.
Many medications are safe in pregnancy, and should be used to treat the symptoms and diseases
that develop, but only after being carefully checked by your doctor.
