Hello,

First, you need to tell your doctor. They will see you throughout your pregnancy and you have to have an open/honest relationship. It is likely your baby will be just fine, but get your MD's input. I suggest you start there.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing

chances are if you stopped taking them.. and eat well and dont do anyting to damage your baby, everything will be just fine. let your dr know though.. believe me your not the only one that made mistakes before they knew they were expecting.. good luck and god bless
