Patient's question:
The last menstrual period was around September 14 (I don't remember the exact date), and the coital date was October 6 (this time is certain). The menstrual cycle is usually about 28-34 days. Now, the pregnancy is confirmed, but starting October 17, I have been taking 4-5 days of Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Capsules, and since October 18, I have also been taking Xipichloran Lozenges (the instructions indicate that pregnant women should stop using them) and Biyuantongqiao Granules. My husband had a chest X-ray for a health check-up around September 15. Now, the pregnancy is confirmed, and I had a child who is two years old before. Can I keep this child?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, I suggest you preserve this child. Generally speaking, from the fertilized egg to the 18th day, as well as the fusion of sperm and egg to form a fertilized egg and the beginning of implantation, until after implantation when growth and development have already started, that is, within 33 days of the menstrual period, almost no teratogenic effects of drugs have been observed, meaning that there has been no interference with multiple embryos. This is because the embryo and the mother have no connection at this time. However, from 3 weeks to 3 months after the fertilized egg, that is, from 33 days to about 13 weeks of the menstrual period, this period is the most sensitive period for fetal teratogenicity, making it most likely to experience congenital deformities. You can undergo a deformity screening.
