cheat sheet from my doctor, do's and don'ts for meds we're allowed, and limitations

don't take zantac close to delivery, shows false positives if they drug test you@kala_elise

this is handy. I wish my OB gave them out o:

I take tums anyway

Thank you!! Saving this.

no problem 😊

I am allowed to take excedrin migraine

@shurkusmomma, who told you that?

@kala_elise, my OBGYN. he said Tylenol is fine and if you get a migraine, then excedrin migraine is fine

weird, because it's got literally everything in it that pregnant women shouldn't take. I'm a chronic migraine sufferer and had to come off the medication I was prescribed for them, and instead, got a prescription for acetaminophen with caffeine. Not the greatest, but better than nothing. @shurkusmomma

I'm not saying that I'm right and he's wrong... but, I'm not saying he's not wrong either. if he's an older doctor, he might honestly believe that it's ok... and, hey, maybe something's changed... But, the only time a pregnant woman should ever consume aspirin is if she's at risk for preclampsia, but, that's still only baby aspirin taken daily to lower the risk... I know this only because I'm allergic to aspirin and prone to preclampsia, therefore, unable to take it lol smh

I had an old primary doctor who once told me that my seizures were from peanut butter..... but I'm not allergic to peanuts..... then she wrote me a prescription for blood pressure meds without even checking my blood pressure....... Moral of the story, I had to let that one go, and I knew that (even though I'm not a doctor), she clearly didn't know what she was talking about.

he's younger...in his 30s I think not sure haha he just said not an every day type of thing only for really bad migraines

peanut butter? what a quack lol!
