  • 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.

  • Pregnancy On Medication?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I have been with my partner since i was 14, so I know he is the one for me, and we both feel ready to have a baby, we are in a stable place and it is all I have ever wanted.

    However; I am on methotrexate, for rheumatoid arthritis, and I take a 5mg dose weekly, which, in January is due to be cut down to 2.5mg. do you think this will be a problem, if I do get pregnant? As I really want a baby now more than ever.

    If it is due to be a problem, what will be the risks involved?

    Many Thanks,
