General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.
Planning pregnancy is a useful time to review treatments with a doctor or midwife. Some medicines require adjustment, while others remain essential to the mother’s health.
If pregnancy is discovered during treatment, promptly inform the doctor following you. Do not stop or change a prescription yourself: they assess benefits, risks and alternatives.
Prepare a complete list, including non-prescription medicines, reused earlier prescriptions, herbal products and essential oils. Keep their exact names and ingredients.
Before using a new product, seek advice and mention pregnancy or your plans. Being sold without a prescription or having used it before does not prove suitability during pregnancy.
If an exposure concerns you, note the product, dates and amount actually used, then contact a professional. These facts support assessment without drawing your own conclusion about a risk to the baby.
Also tell the pharmacist, dentist and other professionals you consult. Ask for clear instructions about the chosen treatment and planned follow-up, and keep them with your pregnancy documents.
