Video for Pregnant Women and New Moms
Resources for You and Your Baby
Many pregnant women take medicines for health problems like diabetes, asthma, seizures, heartburn, and morning sickness. Other women take medicines before they realize they are pregnant. Not all medicines are safe to take when you are pregnant. Some medicines can harm your baby. The FDA and text4baby have created a video on using medicines when you are pregnant.
Watch the video to find out the helpful tips that the main character Kathy learns from her doctor and her best friend.
