Hello, I am 2 months pregnant. I would like to know can I take treatments for virus during pregnancy. I am worried that medicines will be passing on baby. I know that it could cause some health problems or even birth defects. What I should do?
Medicines can be passed in the blood supply from a pregnant woman to her baby. They can cause birth defects, developmental problems, etc…my mom is a nurse and I ask her what treatments you can use If you have a virus during pregnancy. Paracetamol it is the best type of painkiller for taking during pregnancy as she said. Try to get all your vitamins and minerals from your diet, but talk to your doctor first, as certain vitamins and minerals (such as vitamin A) should be restricted during pregnancy.
