I just found out I am pregnant at age 47. My husband and I have 4 other sons in their 20s. We were not planning pregnancy, it just happened. After the initial shock, we are all thrilled. The problem is that I found out when I was almost 6 months. I was having a period until the 4th month, so I was totally unaware. Then, when I stopped menstruating, I thought I was going through menopause. The problem is that I have been taking pain medication for a back injury every day. I have taken muscle relaxers and pain medicine like candy, because I had no idea I was pregnant. I was also taking blood pressure med, Paxil for depression, and iron med. The Dr. took me off the iron, muscle relaxers and Paxil, but said the kind of pain med I was taking is okay to take during pregnancy, so I have continued to take it, but have almost stopped. I am worried about the effects of all this med I was taking before knowing I was pregnant. Has anyone else experienced anything similar to my situation? I am worried to death I have taken something that could harm my baby. My Dr. has told me to stop worrying.
