Patient's question:
Doctor, what I want to ask is that I'm 12 weeks pregnant. I didn't know I was pregnant before and kept taking stomach medicine. Later, when I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, I found out I was pregnant. Before that, I kept taking stomach medicine. Does it affect the baby?Doctor's answer:
Early medication intake may cause certain interference to the fetus, and the specific degree of interference cannot be predicted. If you want to preserve the fetus, it is recommended to prepare for prenatal and postnatal health care, undergo regular prenatal examinations, and closely monitor the fetal growth and development. It is suggested that you have a Down syndrome screening at weeks 15-20 of pregnancy to assess the intellectual development of the fetus, and undergo a 4D color Doppler ultrasound at weeks 22-26 for a thorough examination of fetal anomalies. Confirm that the fetal growth and development are normal.
