Great post. Thank you for sharing!
Great advice, doctor. I wrote down the medicine names, just in case.
I would be sure to mail this page to my friend, Samantha, who’s into her third month. She had developed some minor acne recently and she’s been using some herbal things her grandma suggested. Can herbal remedies be harmful for the baby, doctor?
Bella, pregnant women should always talk to their doctor before taking any meds or supplements.
