pregnant- can midol hurt baby Posted: 03-21-08 09:14am
hello. okay so ive started my period on
the 17th for like the past 4 or 5 months
now but this month i was a couple days
late,or atleast i thought. i usually dont
have anything wrong with my periods, but
on the 19th i was cramping a little not as
much as usually do, but i took midol
before things got worse.. when i went to
do my business i found pink discharge and
then a little more so i put a tampon on,
well by the next morning im usually really
heavy, instead i found nothing but a
little colored discharge. and nothing but
that since. i'm giving myself a little
more time to start before i test, but im
thinking if im pregnant, do you think that
the fact that i took 2 midol could effect
the baby? or does this even sound like i
could be pregnant or just some period
thing? i just need good advice. thanks :]

As long as you don't continue to take
midol it shouldn't really hurt the baby in
my opinion. There are a lot of women that
unfortunately don't know they are
pregnant, and they will still drink
alcohol or take other medications and have
healthy babies. As long as you stop now,
there should not be too big of a problem.
However, I wouldn't even worry about it
until you test! If you are at the
point where its your missed period, I
would go get a test and take it tomorrow
with your first morning urine. If you had
unprotected sex, there is always a
possibility of pregnancy. Have you been
using protection?
it would be so early on in the pregnancy i
doubt anything could happen but just dont
take anymore and also if your having sex
without protection take a test
