Can I keep the baby if I get pregnant while taking stomach medicine?

Some pregnant women who experience stomach pain after becoming pregnant will habitually take some stomach medicine. In fact, stomach medicine may have a certain impact on the development of the fetus, but it will not necessarily cause deformities. It is recommended that such pregnant women report to the doctor in a timely manner and then conduct a detailed examination to see if there will be any impact.

Can I still have a baby if I take stomach medicine when I am pregnant?

Pregnant women should not take medicine to treat stomach problems in the early stages of pregnancy. If acute gastritis occurs during pregnancy, it can usually heal itself through conservative treatments such as fasting and fluid replacement. If vomiting occurs, vitamin B6 can be taken. If chronic stomach problems occur after three months of pregnancy, severe cases (such as persistent stomach pain that cannot be relieved or a history of gastric ulcer, suspected recurrence of gastric ulcer, which may cause gastric bleeding) can be treated with Daxila.

From the perspective of eugenics, taking medication without knowing you are pregnant will have a certain impact on fetal development. However, it does not necessarily lead to malformation, which is directly related to the type of medication taken, dosage and personal makeup. The situation you describe does not necessarily affect the fetal brain development. It is recommended that you do not worry too much, pay attention to rest during pregnancy, eat a nutritious diet, do a Down syndrome screening at 16-20 weeks of pregnancy, and do a four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy to rule out the possibility of fetal malformations.

It is definitely not good to take some medications in early pregnancy, and this mainly depends on the type of medication you are taking. This can now be seen in the drug instructions. If it is not a drug prohibited for pregnant women, it is generally not a big problem. Now some abnormality elimination tests can be considered after more than three months of pregnancy.

Generally speaking, the medication is taken within 3 weeks of pregnancy, which is called the safe period. At this point, the number of embryonic cells is very small. Once affected by harmful substances, cell damage is difficult to repair. If the fetus is not of high quality, the body will survive and it will inevitably lead to spontaneous abortion. If the drug is taken at this time, there is no need to worry about teratogenesis, because if the drug is accidentally taken at this time and there is no sign of miscarriage, it usually means that the drug has no effect on the embryo and the pregnancy can continue.
