hi all
TDW I am FURIOUS on your behalf at that GP. what a colossal bellend. Why do such bastards enter the medical profession FFS? anyway, please do not worry, the problem with most medications is that ethical testing on pregnant women is not really available, so much evidence that drugs are safe in pregnancy tends to be anecdotal, or based on animal studies. It doesn't mean that drugs are unsafe in pg, just not fully tested. Drug companies need to cover their backs, so say 'don't take it' when what they mean is 'we have no evidence that this will be an issue, but don't want to take the risk of you being the first person to find it problemmatic and suing us'. Much of the real worry is in the 1st trimester anyway, we are all fairly safe now!!
ceej hope your scan goes well today! Mine was a bit mad - baby was still lying in a silly position, so the sonographer had me lying on the bed almost on my head, as she tipped the bed so far up to get baby to move. no joy there, so I had to bounce my bum up and down a few times, then roll onto either side, and still no luck! So I was sent away on a walk to drink some diet coke, and came back to a different sonographer, who also had to tip me about, but finally baby cooperated, and all looks well. still no boy bits, so we are saying it's a girl!!
will be back later, just indignant on TDWs behalf and wanted to check in!!
