Hello ma'am and welcome.

Make sure you inform all your doctors about your pregnancy status and do not take any medications unless prescribed by a doctor. The medications prescribed also have their specific side effects and are not completely safe during pregnancy as they come with possible chances of risk involved, so make sure you take them only if your doctor is informed about your pregnancy status and has actively prescribed them to you.

Best wishes.
