Pregnancy Info HOME

Asprin can cause neural tube defects if taken in the first trimester. It can cause excessive bleeding during labor if taken in the third trimester. I had migraines while I was pregnant and the only meds I could have were tylenol and codeine (Lortabs) or tylenol, codeine and a barbituate (Fioricet). My doc said that conventional migraine meds couldn't be used because they work by constricting blood vessels, and that they could constrict the blood vessels to the placenta and keep the baby from getting enough blood. You can look up any med on safefetus.com and see how safe it is during pregnancy, and what kind of problems it might cause.
