Medications During Pregnancy

 
Medications during Pregnancy

What actually we all women want? It is the best for our babies, isn't.

Likewise, as a pregnant woman, whatever we are taking is passing onto the baby from our blood. So, we should be very careful while taking any kind of medicines. It is a good idea to speak with your doctor or health care professional before you take any medicine, herbal remedy or drug. Also, do not take more than the recommended dose and if possible try not to take any medicine in the first trimester of your pregnancy. Although, it is advised throughout your pregnancy but you should strictly avoid during this trimester, as your baby's major body systems are forming in this trimester.
