Summary: We know that you should not take medicine casually during pregnancy. If you take the wrong medicine, it may affect the development of the fetus, or even cause miscarriage, malformation or even death of the fetus. But what if you take the pill without knowing it? For example, if I take cold medicine and find out I\’m pregnant, can I keep the baby? Or do you want to take it off? We know that we should not take medicine casually during pregnancy.

What kind of medicine should the child not keep after taking it?
Taking medicine during pregnancy has such a big impact, does it mean that after taking the medicine, all children will not be able to take it? In fact, not so. There are many types of drugs, but not every drug will cause teratogenic and other serious effects on the development of the fetus.
At present, according to the risk of drugs to the fetus, drugs can generally be divided into five grades: A, B, C, D, and X:
Class A drugs have been shown to be harmless to the fetus; Class A
Class B drugs have been proven harmless in animal experiments, but there is a lack of research on humans; Class B
Category C drugs have not yet had good animal experiments and human studies, or have been found to have adverse effects on animals, but there are no relevant human studies; Category C
Category D drugs have been shown to be dangerous to the fetus in existing studies, but drugs are sometimes considered when weighing the benefits and harms of therapeutic use; Category D
Category Class X
The timing of taking medication can also affect the fetus
In addition to different levels of drugs having different effects on the fetus, the time of taking the drug is also a very important reference factor. Generally speaking, during the development of a fertilized egg into an embryo and fetus, the sensitivity to external influences can be divided into three stages: insensitive period, sensitive period and low-sensitive period.
Insensitive period: refers to the two weeks of pregnancy, that is, the period 14-28 days after the last menstrual period, when the effect of drugs on the embryo is all or nothing. That is to say, at this stage, if the drug is accidentally taken, the effect of the drug on the embryo will be There are two, or both, effects of the drug on the embryo. In this case, the result is that the embryo cannot be saved in the first trimester and will be discarded. Another result was that the drug had no effect on the embryos, which continued to develop without abnormalities. Insensitive period:
Sensitive period: 2-12 weeks of pregnancy. This stage is the division and proliferation period of embryonic cells. It is extremely sensitive to external influences. If you accidentally take medicine at this stage, the medicine is likely to pass through the placental barrier and reach the fetus, interfering with the development of the fetus. Normal differentiation of embryonic tissues and cells, leading to the occurrence of malformations. Sensitive period:
Hypoallergenic period: Pregnancy 12Weeks later. During this stage, the fetus is transitioning from cell division and proliferation to dependent cell proliferation. Therefore, starting from this stage, the fetus has passed the most dangerous period of development, and the influence of the outside world has been greatly reduced. The chance of teratogenesis is greatly reduced after taking the medicine. But it does not mean that you can take medicine at will at this stage. After all, at this stage, the functions of the fetus are not yet mature, and careless medication may still affect the growth and function of certain organs of the fetus, such as affecting the fetus. liver and kidney function, reproductive function, or neurological development. Therefore, when you really need to take medicine for treatment at this stage, you also need to use it under the guidance of a doctor and do a good job of monitoring during the medication process. Desensitization period:
It can be seen from this that if you find out that you are pregnant after taking medicine, you must not immediately sentence it to death. At this time, all you need to do is go to the hospital for consultation with a specialist. If it is determined that the baby can stay, the pregnant mother should relax and not be anxious and fearful all the time. Otherwise, this bad emotion will also affect the healthy growth of the baby.
Of course, in addition to the effects of drugs, there are many factors that affect fetal development, even unknown ones. Therefore, pregnant mothers still need to have regular prenatal check-ups during pregnancy. Once abnormalities are discovered, expert advice should be followed to ensure eugenics.
