Brief Answer:
Risk benefit ratio in favour of the medicines in you.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Since you had miscarriages and ectopic pregnancy, the doctor is taking no chances on this precious pregnancy and has advised you these medicines.
The risk benefit ratio is in favour of continuing the medicine, though there may be minor side effects due to them. I would not advise these except Folic acid in a pregnancy with no risk factor.
Best wishes,
