Medication Use During Pregnancy: Safe and Effective

There has been much controversy and discussion over the use of medications during pregnancy and breastfeeding. A good rule of thumb is that unless a medication is prescribed by your obstetrician, you should not use it until you clear it with your obstetrician. There are some remedies and Over the Counter (OTC medications) that are considered safe for some of the discomforts of pregnancy when taken as directed and in moderation. If symptoms continue to become more pronounced, please make an appointment with one of our physicians.

Navigating medication use during pregnancy can be challenging. Our obstetrics team provides expert guidance to ensure that any medications taken are safe for both mother and baby.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many Pregnant Mother’s are always asking for the best possible outcome for their pregnancy.

The following is what is strongly recommended during pregnancy including safe medications and treatments.

Are there certain foods to avoid eating during pregnancy?

Yes. Pregnant women should avoid unpasteurized milk or cheeses, uncooked luncheon meats or hot dogs. In addition, raw sushi and certain fish (i.e. swordfish, shark, king mackerel and tile fish) should be avoided. Fish intake otherwise should be limited to 12 oz per week.

Can I drink caffeine during pregnancy?

Current data suggests that drinking no more than 1-2 cups (12 oz or less per cup) of coffee, soda or tea per day is not harmful to the pregnancy. We do not recommend drinking over-caffeinated beverages (i.e. espresso, monster).

Can I exercise during pregnancy?

In general, exercise is safe and healthy during pregnancy. If you have any medical or obstetrical problems, please discuss with your provider first. Try to exercise at least 3 times per week for 20 minutes – even walking is great! Make sure that you stay hydrated during and after your workout. You should avoid activities that require you to lay on your back and limit lifting to no more than 15 lbs. You should avoid contact sports. Stop exercising immediately if your experience contractions, bleeding, faintness or dizziness.
