Any ladies take any medication during pregnancy?

I am officially 29 weeks pregnant and have been having some anxiety every day that I have to swallow 4 Apriso pills for my ulcerative colitis.  I am so afraid of the effects of the medication on my unborn child.  I have had several ultrasounds and everything looks ok so far, but I am still very worried.  Has anyone ever been on medication during their entire pregnancy and baby was healthy?

Hearing that news is a relief....I am just hoping and praying everything goes well with my pregnancy....I have about 11 more weeks to go.

UC is in remission right now, baby is growing and ultrasounds look good-but I am having anxiety about when the baby comes out and there is something wrong due to the medication-I just need to calm down and relax and know that everything will be ok.

I get it's better to be on medication rather than flaring up.

I took 125mg of Imuran throughout my pregnancy and although my son was on the small side when he was born a week late (6lbs 5oz) he's perfectly healthy and is now a chubby big baby! Good luck!

I will continue to take the medication and will keep everyone posted. Thanks for replying back ladies.

I can assure you that the dad taking this medication did not cause the baby to be stillborn. Medically that would make no sense. You should stop reading things posted on the internet by non-medical people. You are just making yourself crazy.

i took immuran, asacol, lamictal and phenobarbital (the latter two are for seizures)
asacol and lamictal dont cross the placenta so are safe, however the other two are classified D drugs. BUT i went to a specialist with years of experince and he said that honeslty, there are only a handful of drugs that are really really dangerous, the rest its better to take than risk the effects of the illness. One important thing is to take folic acid before you even start trying to concieve and a good multi vitamin.
Most of the damage drugs do is to the brain and nervous system and spinal development. By the time you get to about 30 weeks, the babies lungs are still developing and its still growing but all that other stuff is ready.
It was really hard on me too to be on meds while i was pregnant it broke my heart thinking of what i might be doing to my baby. But he turned out perfect!
its also important that you deliver in a hospital with a level 2 nursery at least, in case there are problems.

good luck!

My GI has told me numerous of times that it is safe to be pregnant and breastfeed while pregnant. I was on 4*800mg a day through my pregnany and breastfeeding and I have a perfectly healthy 14 moth old son. He was awhopper at 9lb4.5oz when born, so quite large compared that I'm only 5ft 3 inc.

Do not google these things, as someone said, trust your doctors and it's better that you're taking your mainetnance meds now, as you don't want to be flaring when going inot labour or when taking your nre abby home.
