Question
Does taking medication before pregnancy affect the fetus? My last menstrual period was on December 16th, and I caught a cold on December 30th. I started taking medicine on January 1st and continued for about a week. One of the medications was stopped by the pregnant woman, and she took three pills. Later, on January 25th, I found out I was pregnant. This is my first child. I want to know if it will interfere with the baby, and I am very worried.
Answer
Based on your description, there may be varying degrees of interference from the cold and medication on the embryo. If you are planning to have this baby, it is recommended that you schedule regular prenatal check-ups. It is advised that you pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods, take folic acid regularly, maintain a regular sleep schedule without overworking, eat a light diet, and have regular prenatal examinations. Prepare for later-stage deformityexaminations, observe the fetus’s development status at all times, and address any issues promptly.
