Drug Management during Pregnancy

Pregnancy medication exposure registries are frequently used to investigate the relationship between mother medication use and newborn outcomes. Pregnant women's medications reach the Fetus mostly through the placenta, which is also where oxygen and nutrients, which are required for the fetus's growth and development. Drugs that do not cross the placenta, on the other hand, may harm the fetus by harming the uterine or placenta. While some medicines are regarded safe during pregnancy, the effects of others can be hazardous to your unborn child.

Drugs used by a pregnant woman throughout her pregnancy can have a variety of effects on the fetus: 

  • They have the potential to harm, develop abnormally (leading to birth abnormalities), or kill the fetus directly.
  • They can affect the placenta's function by causing blood arteries to narrow (constrict), decreasing the fetus's availability of oxygen and nutrients from the mother.
  • They can cause the uterus' muscles to contract violently, harming the fetus indirectly by limiting its blood flow or causing preterm labor and delivery.
