Doctor's answer:
Since in the early stages of pregnancy, the embryo is only affected by two outcomes—either it naturally miscarries if affected, or it enters the uterine sac and develops an embryo—if it is not affected. So you don’t need to worry. Fetuses follow the principle of survival of the fittest. As long as the fetus can grow steadily in your uterus, it is relatively healthier. Common medications that can affect the fetus in the early stages of pregnancy include birth control pills, tranquilizers, and aspirin. The medications you are taking are mostly traditional Chinese medicines, and the dosage is small, so they will not cause any impact.During the second trimester, there is a screening test called the Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan, which can accurately determine whether the baby is healthy. Although you may sometimes feel it’s not very necessary, for peace of mind, most pregnant women choose to have the test.
Maintaining a positive mood and keeping yourself healthy throughout the entire pregnancy is the most important thing.
Wishing you a smooth and healthy baby delivery!
