Can this harm my baby? Disabled? ILL? Mentally Retarded?
One week after conception I got the flu and fever so I took this Equate Cold and Flu Multi Systom Relief Day Time Liquid kind...all together I took about 5oz. (I took the regular dose 2spoons every 6 hours or so)
It says if pregnant ask doctor before use well I didnt know if i was pregnant or not so I did anyway. Active ingredients are Acetaminophen 325mg, Dextromethorphan HBr 10mg, Phenylephrine HCI 5mg. Right now Im about 4 weeks pregnant havent seen a doctor yet BUT Did anyone ever did this as well is it ok that I took it?
Will my baby be healthy? Not disabled or mentally retarded? or with down syndrome... I AM SO WORRIED... Please share your experiments...
Thank you so much

That will not affect your child's Development that early on, don't worry.

you have to keep in mind that most women dont know they are pregnant for at least 4-5 weeks. so thats like....most women in the world who have given birth have had at least a month where they were living "normally" not knowing they were pregnant. and most babies in teh world are not born with issues. :o) relax. dont do it again....mention it to your doctor...but stop stressing!! :o)

at that time the baby doesn't even have a placenta yet so it's not getting anything from you- your baby will most likely be fine. before i found out i was pregnant i went to a keg party for my BIL's birthday

i have never experimented with taking medicine while pregnant but i can tell you that only a doctor can give you the information you are requesting
please be honest with your doctor and ask as i can tell you are concerned

To ease your mind mention this to your doctor when you go in for your 1st pre-natal appointment.
Same thing happened to me, I was petrified. When I told my doctor what I took and when (OTC flu medicine) he told me I hadn't taken enough to do any harm. He was right, I have a very healthy daughter!
