Are there things you did before you found out you were pregnant that worry you? Nearly every pregnant woman has something on her list that she worries about. Whether it was a drink of alcohol, not taking your prenatal vitamins, a poor diet or too much exercise. While your practitioner will usually tell you not to worry, it doesn't keep us from worrying. What worries you?

Energy Drinks and Birth Control

I have recently missed a period and think I may be pregnant. About a month ago I stopped taking my birth control, maybe a a week after my last period. I also drink about 3 cans of monster 16 oz energy drinks every day on average, and have been doing so for about 2 months now. I have stopped this past week because I don't want there to be an adverse effect on my child if I am indeed pregnant, but I still don't know if the recent birth control use or all of this energy drink consumption is going to give my baby growth or mental problems: Please help?

Too much medication

I took pregnancy test this morning and its positive. I know I feel funny this past week but still not sure. Yesterday we had BBQ n I drank like 5 small shots of tequila and I talked to my friend and they suggest me to take pregnancy test. So do u think hat result is right? And couple weeks ago, I suffered very bad of skin allergy, I went to a&e and they gave me steroid for 4 days. During this summer I took antihestamin tablet everyday coz i suffer high fever. And I suffer frm migraine so I got prescription medicine frm GP called rizatriptan maxall 5mg. So do u think will effect my pregnancy? I'm so worried, maybe not good to continue this pregnancy. Thank you
