I'm dumb...

I took Kaopeptate which is just like Pepto but different flavors, I forgot to google weather it was safe for pregnancy and I found out it is not recommended. I only took 1 dose but of course I'm panicking that I messed up. All because of my damn pregnancy brain...

It'll be OK! Accidents happen and people do a lot worse while pregnant. When I was still pretty early on I took dayquil not realizing that it's not reccomended especially before the second trimester. It was only once and little man is growing just fine so far. Give yourself grace ❤️

I have done a couple things like that… you can usually call your doctor or midwife or whoever you’re seeing and they’ll ease your mind. Mine probably thinks I’m crazy, but I have called her to double check several things and she always seems to think it’s not as big a deal as Google makes it seem!

I feel like medicines like that are only harmful if taken regularly during pregnancy. I'm sure you'll be fine with just one dose! I took a prescription IBS pill earlier in pregnancy and I'm still kicking myself for it 🫣

Oh god, long story short, I took a supplement I shouldn't have, it gave me severe anxiety to where I woke up seeing red, and I took myself to the ER because I thought I just ruined my babies health over a stupid misunderstanding. I waited four hours in the waiting room (I was there until 2am) just to be told "you're probably fine." But the anxiety it gave me had me in crippling tears... But my babies healthy so far! Tbh I still worry.
