*  Antibiotics, to prevent or treat infection. Antibiotic treatment does not always eliminate infection, though it is often effective in preventing infection when the amniotic sac has ruptured (pPROM) and risk of infection is high.  19   Antibiotics can also delay delivery after pPROM.  4\n    * Medications (antenatal corticosteroids) to speed up fetal lung development if birth is anticipated between the 24th and 34th weeks of pregnancy.\n    * Tocolytic medications, to slow down contractions and try to delay labor for a day or two.\n\nTocolytic treatment is more likely to be successful when preterm labor is recognized and treated right away, before membranes have ruptured or the cervix has effaced and dilated beyond 4 cm.\n\n\n Antenatal corticosteroids (betamethasone or dexamethasone) help prepare the fetus's lungs for preterm birth.\n\nTocolytic medications that are used to stop preterm labor include:\n\n    * Beta-sympathetic medications (ritodrine, terbutaline).\n    * Magnesium sulfate.\n    * Indomethacin.\n    * Nifedipine.

Try a diaper rash cream. Thats what I use when I get irritated and it works. Desitin or it's generic is best.

IUD, birth control pills, birth control patch, sponge, diaphragm, tubes tied, etc. See a doctor to see what method works best for you.

None really. Start taking folic acid pills instead. These help prevent birth defects. They are at walmart and other locations and are rather cheap

As long as you are in your second trimester you will be fine.  We routinely give local ansth. to pregnant women if they have a dental condition that can't wait until the babies birth.  It is worse for the baby to have decay and infection going on in the mouth if it is severe, then it is to have this fixed using local anesth.  Novocain is not used anymore due to it being in the ester class of dental anesth. and many people were/are allergic to it.  We now use mostly amides, lidocaine, and a few others.  Most people are not allergic to the amide class as they were to the esters.  All the chemical jumbo aside, again you should be fine.  Just make sure you ask you ob/gyn before you have any dental work done.

Every doctor has his/her own opinion.  Generally tylenol and advil (or the generic equilvalents are fine.)  If you have a medication you aren't sure about, call your pediatrician and ask.

If you're really having serious cramps, your GYN may be able to perscribe soma, however it makes you really sleepy so it's not good to take during the day. I generally take 2 asprin and an anti-inflamatory like IB proufen (probably spelled that wrong) during the day. It really depends on how bad the cramps are and what meds your body absorbs more easily. A lot of people swear by midol and pamprin but those usually never work on me, unfortunately. Also, when you're able, the thermacare patches that heat themselves seem to help quite a lot. I generally get the ones for your back and stick those on my abdomen since they seem to heat up a bit more than the others.

My dear Friends. Don't use any chemicals to control your MIND. For one thing there are side-effects; really bad ones. YES Prozac and klonopin  will effect the baby. You need some breathing exercise. Please consult your local chapter of The Art of Living Foundation (A non-profit organization for social change) . The course teaches you to control your emotions through breathing. It will reduce your stress and anxiety and give you a healthy body and mind. Your children will thank you for giving them a quality of life that every new born deserves.

Women's Tylenol works great for me. Besides that, the best thing is Motrin.

Talk to your pharmacist and/or doctor, but this is what I found:\n\n"Phenylephrine or neosynephrine is in the FDA pregnancy category C."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylephrine\n\n"Pregnancy Category C:  Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregnancy_category

try using a little ambesol or oragel to numb the area then yank that baby out. Do it fast like a band-aid

Toprol or metoprolol(generic) is a beta blocker which lowers your heartrate and ideally keeps you from having tachycardia. The risk with surgery is in people who STOP taking the medicine. The risk is rebound hypertension, possible heart attack. Not usually seen in an otherwise healthy 25 year old female.\n\nToprol is not recommeded in pregnancy, it has been linked to intrauterine growth retardation.\n\nCongradulations on quitting smoking. Giving up caffeine will decrease the number of SVT episodes you experience.

Dramamine works great, but call your Doctor ahead of time to make sure its OK to give to your daughter, and the amount you should give her...\nit will probably be only half a pill at a time\n\n"Dimenhydrinate is not recommended for use by children younger than 2 years of age, except under the direction of a doctor." from yahoo health.
