Home Staging Asp
March 20th, 2010
Question: Is one dose of Alka Seltzer (which includes aspirin) harmful to my baby in the first 2 - 4 weeks of pregnancy?
I just tested positive yesterday with a home pregnancy test. Before I knew I was pregnant, I took 1 package (2 tablets) of Alka Seltzer to relieve my nausea (which I now know is due to the pregnancy). I was told by a friend that Alka Seltzer, which includes aspirin, can be harmful to the baby -- especially during the very early stages of development. I just bought some Nature Made prenatal multi-vitamin (http://www.naturemade.com/productdatabase/prd_prod.asp?productid=182), can taking these vitamins possibly reverse any harm that may have been done to the baby?
Answer: If you took only 1 dose, you are fine. If you continue to take it you could put the baby in jeopardy. I was taking a strong antibiotic for a few weeks before I realized I was pregnant and my son came out just perfect.
Now that you know, just be more cautious but you really have nothing to worry about.
