I was just curious if there is anyone who took even one dose of reglan, metoclopramide, or perinorm while pregnant and miscarried? It is an anti-nausea pill that my dr. prescribed to me. I took one pill and it didn't seem to work so I didn't take anymore. The dr's are guessing the date of passing to be the same time that I took this medicine and last night I found a website from drug intel that says alot of disturbing things about what this medicine can do to a fetus or even a yound child.

My doc prescribed reglan while I was pregnant with my first but my insurance did not cover it so I ended up not getting it.
I know that a lot of medications can cause so much when you are pregnant. Like the progesterone has huge warnings all over it not to take if you are pregnant but it is prescribed while you are pregnant some of the time (I took it).
I dont know if the following is appropriate but Please do not second guess yourself. You did everything right this pregnancy!

thank you...I am just worried because I NEVER take medicine when I'm pregnant...never, and this time I was prescribed Reglan for nausea at the same appointment where I heard the heartbeat at 10w3d. After 3 more days of severe nausea, my husband said why don't you take one of those pills? I was unsure but then I said, well the doctor wouldn't give them to me if they weren't ok to take...plus I had asked him when he prescribed them to me. After hesitating, I took ONE of the 28 he gave me. It didn't seem to help so I didn't take anymore. Well, when I found out the baby passed they said it measured 10w3d but had probably passed a few days to a week after that. I started running through what happened around that time and I thought of the medicine. Then I looked it up online and have found lots of lawsuits, warnings about this medicine in pregnancy and with infants and children and I can't help but wonder if this was the cause.

Please try hard not to think about it. Again, you did everything right. There are many women who manage to get pregnant and keep a pregnancy in the worst case scenerios (i.e they are drug addicts who barely eat much less anything nutritious) it is because it is a "miracle" and sometimes there are just no answers.
I hope that makes sense. I am hoping you find peace with your loss.

I know that your brain wants to second guess everything & pinpoint the moment that you could have done something differently so that this didn't happen. I honestly don't think that this was in any way your fault, but it is normal for you to feel confused & even guilty. I am sending you a private note to explain all the things I have found out from my Dr's since my m/c - if I put it on here it would take up the whole page.
I'm sorry this happened to you hon.
