Is Metformin safe during Pregnancy?
QUESTION
Dear Midwife,
Hi, I am 25 years old and I just found out on Jan 8th that I am pregnant. The thing about it is that they could not find the baby.Three years ago I lost another child through miscarriage and I am scared about the light pink color when I wipe myself. Granted it is not there everytime but I am still worried and slight pain on my right side.
I also am a diabetic and I take 100mg of metformin twice a day. As of right now I have stopped because I have no idea if it will harm the baby.
