Doctor's answer:

Hello, taking medication will not affect your child at this time. Since you can get pregnant, it means his sperm is not a problem, and it means the medication has no effect on him or the child. You can rest assured about this. It generally does not affect the health of the fetus. During pregnancy, it is important not to have a restricted diet. Your diet should be as varied and diverse as possible, eating more high-quality protein foods, vegetables, and fruits. Avoid alcohol and coffee, quit smoking, and do not come into contact with toxic substances or radiation sources. After continuing the pregnancy, have an empty stomach and go to the hospital for a Down syndrome screening between weeks 14 and 19 to prevent the birth of a child with Down syndrome. Between weeks 22 and 26, you can have a four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound for prenatal screening to detect any abnormalities.
