Pregnancy and Common Medications and Substances
In the United States the average pregnant woman may ingest from three to seven different drugs in the course of her pregnancy. Many common drugs can cross the placenta and enter the circulation of the developing baby. While only a few have been shown to directly cause birth defects, very little information is available on the effects of most drugs on the fetus and even less is available on the potential long-term effects of these drugs. Given the large number of over-the-counter drugs currently available, it becomes the responsibility of every pregnant woman to consider her own use of drugs.
