Amaryl, Glucophage, and Avandamet are considered catagory C in pregnancy meaning that studies have shown an adverse effect in animals during pregnancy and is not recommended for humans during pregnancy.
Neurobion is considered safe during pregnancy.
My father is a pharmacist in the US, and I consulted w/ him regarding your question. You need to continue taking these until you speak w/ your doctor so you do not experience raised or lowered blood sugar. Taking them for the first part of pregnancy should not cause damage to occur. Your doctor may instruct you to quit taking the first 3 and use more insulin. DO NOT do this unless your doctor instructs you to. I have listed some websites I hope are helpful. Congrats on your pregnancy!

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

You need to speak with your doctor ASAP about the meds you are on. Some may be safe for your baby and some won't. If you are proper care while you are pregnant you should be okay. Lots of women with Diabetes have healthy babies while on meds. You also want to ask about what meds you can take while breastfeeding (if you choose to.) Good luck.

Whatever you do, do NOT stop your drug regimen!! This will not only be harmful for the baby, but it could be very harmful for you as well.
The main reflection on a baby to a diabetic mother would be his birth weight: this with diabetes, gestational or otherwise, tend to have large babies...also, baby's blood sugar could be affected, but that won't be known until the baby is born.
Be sure to see your doctor as soon as you can, though, as he may need to adjust your meds in order for you body to better cope with the baby's extra strain.

It would be more dangerous for the baby you need to call the doctor ASAP. So you know everything will be ok but don't go off anything. That is very important.

You need to see your dr. Many women get diebetes just while preg, but closly montered by a Ob or dr and everything generally will be fine. Make an appointment to see your dr asap.

I would continue with the medication if really needed and get into the DR. ASAP and explain when setting up your appointment.
