When pregnant, women should remember not to
take the following medicines in order to protect your and your fetus’s safety.
Taking antidepressants while pregnant
To the major of pregnant women, pregnancy
is the happiest news. In that period of time, the palpitation, anxiety and
thought that are due to the fact that you’re going to be moms in the future,
can make you depressed.
Some
of the substances in the antidepressants can go through the placenta and cause
bad effects on fetuses, such as cardiovascular malformations.
In that case, if you use antidepressants,
the components of the medicines, for example, adrenergic will affect the
central nervous system and inhibit monoamine and reabsorption metabolic
reactions. It’s more dangerous when some of the substances in the
antidepressants can go through the placenta and cause bad effects on fetuses,
such as cardiovascular malformations… For that reason, moms are recommended not
taking antidepressants in the early period of pregnancy.
As the depression is caused by hormone
changing, pregnant women should share your worries with your family and friends
and avoid negative thinking. At the same time, the future father also needs to
create a friendly atmosphere and help the pregnant women to release stress.

mountainous areas, usually take antibiotics to treat the diseases.

the placenta and affect baby’s hearing, which can make babies deaf. The
Tetracycline in antibiotics can also cause osteoporosis in young children.

from encumbrances like feet and hand edema. Limp edema will cause
inconveniences to women. At that time, pregnant women may think that using

higher than the body to help the blood flow normally.

that is transferred to fetuses, but also affect fetal growths. If the body
loses too much water, pregnant women can have to face with dangerous
complications like nausea, headache and dizziness.
