Weighing risk and benefit. Most medications are not favorable during pregnancy, especially benzodiazepines, which are prohibited and can cause fetus facial disfigurement.
Best not but depends on drug, severity of symptoms and patient history
This is a very good question that you MUST speak to your doctor about. The risks of taking medication during pregnancy may be outweighed by the benefits in specific cases but this can only be determined by a conversation with YOUR doctor.
