Medications and healthy baby?

I'm 14 weeks now, and I don't know how to feel about everything I have taken. I've tried to stay medicine free but it's too intense sometimes. I take tums almost every night for horrible heartburn. I've been having to take Benadryl lately for really bad allergies. I had to take zofran pretty much my entire first trimester. (Yes, I've read the crazy "birth defects" articles about Zofran, my doc settled that and it's fine to take). My anatomy scan isn't for another 7 weeks. The heartbeat has been perfect but I'm just worried about taking so many different things... Anyone else take different meds and have everything be perfectly fine?

I have been taking medicine since I was 5 weeks... I have HG so I am also on Zofran! I have had many scans due to family history of genetic disorder and my baby boy is perfect! I also take tums nightly and had to take Benadryl. don't worry! I also feel bad about taking all this but the zofran saved my baby's and my life!

Thanks! I try not to worry but I can't help but feel guilty when I can't push through this without meds.

Everything I have taken has been approved by my doctor. But it still worries me that I have to take them so frequently.
