i am 12 weeks pregnant and am on quite a bit of medication: Alphadopa 250 mg 1.5 tablets everyday, glycomet 500, thyronorm 75 mcg, folvite, Amway Nutrilite Daily Multivit and Amway Salmon Omega 3.

Hello!
Thanks for your query.
You should consult with a doctor because:
alphadopa - has no evidence of teratogenicity,manufacturers advise use only when potential benefit outweighs risk
glykomet-avoid,insulin is normally substituted in all diabetics
thyronorm-you should monitor serum -thyrotrophin concentration ,may cross placenta and excessive maternal concentration can be detrimental to fetus.
folvite,multivit and omega -are safe during pregnancy
Take care for you and your baby
