I've just found out that I'm pregnant. Must only be 4 weeks but I have been taking rizatriptan often as I get migraines which are obviously worse now that I'm pregnant. I've also been using soolantra cream for my rosacea. I've also partied quite hard not knowing I was pregnant. Am I right in thinking that so long as I stop using all of it now the fetus will be OK?

I’m no medical professional, but I was on fairly heavy anti depressants, anti anxiety meds, drinking, smoking, partying, you name it - then I found out I was 6 weeks pregnant. Packed it all in and happy to say I now have a perfectly healthy 8 month old :)

Rizatriptan has no record of causing fetal abnormalities and is one of a group of migraine drugs recommended for use by pregnant women if they cannot manage without medication. Obviously we cannot rule out some incredibly rare side effect, but all the evidence so far is reassuring.
As for the partying - alcohol is damaging to the fetus, but only in continued high dosage. Many women have had drunken nights out before realising they were pregnant, and as long as they stop thereafter, the baby is ok.
