Pregnancy is an exciting time. But it can bring up a lot of questions and concerns about what foods you can eat or how medicines will affect your baby.
Not all foods and medicines are safe when you are pregnant. Even common headache or pain medicine may not be safe during certain times in your pregnancy.
FDA’s Office of Women’s Health offers four simple tips to help you talk with your healthcare provider about your prescription and over-the-counter medicines. The FDA pregnancy website also includes information on topics like food safety and tips for new moms.
By talking with your healthcare provider, you can find out how to be safe and make smart choices during pregnancy.
When you talk to your healthcare provider, ask about Pregnancy Exposure Registries. These registries can help you learn more about how medicines can be safely used during pregnancy. Check if there is a registry for your medicine.
