Can Valium,benadryl And Ibuprofen Cause Any Side Effects During Pregnancy?

Hi, Three months ago exactly I fractured me L1. Today I took an at home pregnancy test and it was positive. I m scared and I don t know what to do, aside from that I m not sure how far along I am and I have been taking a number of medications either prescribed or recommended by my dr while neither of us knew I was with child. Over the past few months I was taking loritab and Valium several times a day, I stopped about a month or so ago. Since I have been taking lots of ibprofen and benedryl. I read that ibprofen can cause birth defects when taken in the first trimester and I m worried. Also I m in a lot of pain all the time from my back, is my back going to continue healing while I am pregnant? Is the additional weight going to hurt my back more? Have I hurt my baby by taking all of this medication? Is this a high risk pregnancy? I am going to make an appt with a dr as soon as I wake up, it was to late by the time I found out today. I ve never been pregnant before and this is a pretty unexpected confusing and worry some situation. I dont know if its helpful, but i m 27 years old and im a vegitarian, also i dont have health insurance and i havent been able to return to work yet. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much J

Hi,

As you now stopped medicine. it is good. USG and gynecology follow ups are to be done. Make good healthy lifestyle, eat fruits, drink juices, lots of water, have vegetables, salads, basil and amla. Do some sukshm yoga, sahaj samadhi, breathing technique of 'Art of Living'. It has shown reversal of fetus effects. You should do it. Anxiety and stress can further harm, listen to good vibes and smile more.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
