Opinions about taking pills while pregnant?

I am 10 weeks pregnant and I take 2 different pills for nausea every day. Dr. Told me they are safe to use and will not affect the baby but I just don't like the idea of taking pills while pregnant. The problem is I can't eat without having my pills first and easily get dehydrated. I just want to feel that my baby is going to be safe!

Yeah i only take zofran , antibiotics when i had a uti but other than that i stick to zofran for nauseabecause i know its safe during pregnancy . But usually if the dr says its okay then its okay . The good outweighs the bad or they wouldnt give it to you . i understand though cuz i freaked when they put me on antibiotics i thought it was gonna hurt the baby they said usually we would just let it go away on its own cuz i only had a trace of an uti but durning pregnancy it can hurt the baby more than the antibiotics could .

I know what you mean, I have to take 10 different tablets a day for my complications. I worry but my dr keeps reassuring me that they are tried and tested and safe for baby. I just have to trust him or get a second opinion.

I'm 24 weeks and have been taking nausea pills since about 6 weeks. I take them once every day. If I don't take them I can't keep food . baby needs food so i see the pills as a better option than starving the baby.
