A complete list of contraindicated drugs for pregnant women

There are many things that pregnant women cannot do during pregnancy, otherwise it will affect the health of the fetus in their belly. In particular, they must not take some medicines, otherwise it will cause miscarriage. In severe cases, it will cause fetal deformities. Therefore, if you must take some medicines, you must get permission from a doctor.

Pregnant women should not use over-the-counter drugs casually. All medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

When treating, drugs that cause little harm to the embryo or fetus should be selected.

When using drugs, the minimum effective dose and shortest effective treatment course should be used to avoid blindly using large doses and long periods of time, and avoid combined use of drugs.

Unless necessary for medical reasons, try to avoid taking medication in early pregnancy.

The concentration of the drug in maternal serum is related to the amount that passes through the placenta to the fetus. If local medication is effective, avoid systemic medication.

You should read the "Drug Instructions" in detail before taking any medication, and try not to use medications that are "for use with caution during pregnancy and mothers" or "contraindicated during pregnancy and mothers."

If the mother's disease infects the fetus, safe drugs should be selected, and the drug concentration in the fetus and amniotic fluid should be close to that in the mother, so that both mother and child can be treated.

Drugs that have been widely used in pregnant women for many years should be used, and drugs for which it is difficult to determine whether they have adverse effects on the embryo, fetus, or newborn should be avoided as much as possible. Drugs that have only been theoretically evaluated should be used with caution.

1. Prohibition of sexual intercourse

From the beginning of pregnancy to the end of the third month of pregnancy, the placenta is in the development stage, especially the connection between the placenta and the mother's uterine wall is not tight. Sexual intercourse can cause the uterus to vibrate, which can easily cause miscarriage. During sexual intercourse, the pregnant woman's pelvic cavity becomes congested and the uterus contracts, which can also increase the chance of miscarriage. Therefore, sexual intercourse should be avoided as much as possible within 3 months.

2. Reduce sexual intercourse

Pregnant women in the 4th to 9th month of pregnancy are relatively stable and can have sexual intercourse once a week, but be careful not to last too long each time, and be careful not to directly and strongly stimulate the female sexual organs, and keep the movements gentle. If sexual intercourse is too frequent, too forceful, or lasts too long during this stage, it will compress the abdomen and cause premature rupture of the amniotic membrane. The fetus will die quickly or suffer miscarriage due to lack of nutrition and oxygen. Even if the amniotic membrane is not ruptured and miscarriage does not occur, the uterus may be infected, which may lead to fetal death in severe cases and affect the physical and cognitive development of the fetus in mild cases.

3. Absolutely no sex life

In the late pregnancy, especially in the month before delivery, that is, after 9 months of pregnancy, the fetus begins to descend toward the birth canal and the pregnant woman's cervix gradually softens. If sexual intercourse occurs during this period, the fetal membrane will rupture prematurely, there is a high possibility of intrauterine infection, and amniotic fluid overflow (i.e., water breaking) may occur. At the same time, in the late stages of pregnancy, because the uterus is more sensitive and can be directly stimulated by the outside world, there is a possibility of sudden uterine contractions and inducing premature birth. Therefore, sexual intercourse must be absolutely prohibited in the late stages of pregnancy.
