Patient's question:
Because we've only been married for a short time and have been in the honeymoon phase, so there might have been a bit more intimacy. Suddenly, I found out I was pregnant. Although I'm very happy, I calculated the dates and realized that at that time, I was taking cold medicine for a cold. What should I do if I got pregnant while having sex during the cold and medication period?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, if you take oral medication in the first two weeks of pregnancy, it is generally considered unlikely to affect the growth and development of the embryo. Therefore, there is no need to be overly anxious or worried. Regular prenatal check-ups are sufficient. It is also important to take folic acid orally in a timely manner to reduce the risk of neural tube defects recurring. Pay attention to a nutritious diet and avoid spicy foods. During the early stages of pregnancy, sexual activity should be strictly prohibited for the time being.
