Q. I had two bad experiences in breast feeding and have sense gotten silicone implants and will definitely not breast feed this time around. In my fifth week of my pregnancy currently. Looking for solutions. How is lactation prevented? Please help.
A. I actually started out breast feeding my little bundle, especially because he was a preemie so my milk was Crucial to his speedy recovery. But, after he came home from the NICU I had to pump and feed him for a few weeks. After 2 weeks I got a bad infection due to my saline implants. I produced too much milk and it pushed my implants to the side causing them to block my milk ducts, causing it to infect and cause a lot of pain. Therefore I had no choice but to switch to formula. Now, I found it was easiest to buy one of those corsets for the stomach, but just lift it more to the top and have it compress your breasts. And I took two small towelettes and placed them on the inside of my bra. And had that pressing it tightly down causing the milk to stop producing and coming out. It takes about 3 days total for the milk to stop producing maybe a day or two give or take. And the pain stops after a day or so. And since you wont breast feed you can take some ibuprofen for the swelling. And put some cold compresses. And warm showers helped. But make sure you have it compressed and pressed down so the milk stops. Hope this helps, my baby transitioned just fine, the first day was a little bit of a issue but hes adjusted and loves his milk and I feel so relieved and happier.
Is it bad to take ibuprofen during pregnancy?
Q. I'm around 1-2 months pregnant and I have an ear infection and it hurts a lot so I'm wondering if its safe to take ibuprofen??
A. Its not bad during the first 2 months - most Dr.'s will say Tylenol only so that you don't forget and continue to take it when you're not suppose too which is during the 3rd trimester.
Use of the drug in 3rd trimester causes constriction of pulmonary artery to aorta ductus arteriosus with subsequent pulmonary hypertension and oligohydramnios by affecting fetal renal function. It also Inhibits labor, prolongs pregnancy.

what tablets can i use for a migraine in early pregnancy?
Q. Ive started with a migraine, but i don't know what tablets i can use before i start being sick etc! Which tablets are safe to use in early pregnancy?
A. During early pregnancy, you can take acetaminphen (tylenol) and also ibuprfen (motrin or advil). Most doctors will tell you to only take Tylenol, as ibuprofen is not safe during the third trimester. But during the first trimester they are equally safe to take.
What types of suppliments and medicines are not good to take with a birth control pill?
Q. I have heard ibuprofen and some others? Does anyone know the full list?
A. Unfortunately, there probably isn't a full list available out there, since there is very little research done on this subject.

What can interfere with my HBC?
When taking any medication, it's always a good idea to discuss possible HBC interactions with your doctor or your pharmacist. Some online sources, such as this report from the UK's Faculty of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care Clinical Effectiveness Unit (links to PDF document) and this drug interaction checker are also good starting points.
Prescription Medications and Herbal Supplements
A brief overview of the basics:
Antibiotics--The antibiotics rifampicin and rifabutin have been shown to interfere with the effectiveness of most hormonal contraceptives, though they don't appear to reduce the effectiveness of Depo Provera or the Mirena IUD. The evidence for other antibiotics is inconclusive, so it's best to discuss them with your doctor or pharmacist, and/or to use a backup method "just in case." (Source: FFPRHC)
Anti-Epilepsy Medications--"Carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbitol, primidone, and topiramate all interact. (These drugs may also be used for control of bipolar disorder) Your doctor may recommend a high-dose pill, or a backup method." (VPer smallstar mentioned this in this comment, which is also supported by the FFPRHC)
Antifungals--Most (like the commonly prescribed fluconazole and OTC yeast infection treatments) will have no effect on HBC. However, the antifungal griseofulvin will. (FFPRHC)
Antiretrovirals--These are the drugs commonly used to treat HIV. Some of them will interact with HBC while some do not. Discuss specific medications with your doctor or pharmacist.
Barbiturates--Some barbiturates fall into the category of anti-seizure medications. However, some, such as butalbital (found in medications such as Fiorinal), can be found in muscle relaxers and/or medications to treat migraines. According to Health A to Z and other sources, barbiturates reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. Backup protection is recommended.
St. John's Wort--According to Contraception Online, there have been small studies done in the UK and in Sweden in which some women taking both St. John's Wort and oral contraceptive pills experienced breathrough bleeding and/or unintended pregnancies. Though these studies were small, it is generally recommended that women not combine the use of St. John's Wort and HBC if they are relying on HBC for cycle regulation or pregnancy prevention.
Other Drugs and Herbal Supplements--To be safe, check each product with a doctor, pharmacist or herbalist before beginning the new treatment.
