did i do ok the first trimester?

Question

im 12 weeks now. im starting to worry about the mistakes i might have made in the first trimester. Right after i found out i was pregnant i had a serious lung infection thing i went to a family doctor ( not ob/gyn) he gave me a Zpack of antibiotics. i told him im preg is this safe? ok theres that and then
-1 to 5 cans of diet pepsi a day (depending on the day)
-one time i took one dose of Azo urinary relief tablets
-about 4 times i took pepto bismo before i knew it was not an ok med.
-about 2 times i took Phazyme gas releif pills.
- at least for a couple weeks when nausea was real bad i only took my prenatal vitamin about every other day, instead of every day.
-before i knew i was pregnant i sat in a hot tub
-before i knew i was pregnant i was breathing in aerosol disinfectants at work ( after i foudn out i switched to spray kind only)
ok so is this bad? I didnt drink or do cigs or anything and i was already on vitamins before i even kenw i was pregnant.

actualy my real qusetion is do u think any of these things harmed the baby??

Answer 1

All the things you did before you found out you were pregnant are likely not going to hurt your baby.
As far as taking Pepto Bismol, you would've experienced bleeding or cramping and immediate problems at the time if there was something wrong, so the baby is fine as far as that is concerned as well.
Hot tub? You would've miscarried by now if that had affected the baby, so your baby's fine with that as well.
The one thing I would worry about is the Diet Pepsi. One can isn't too much of a problem (even though I won't consume anything with artificial sweetener while pregnant, but studies have shown a can of diet soda a day is fine), but try to avoid having 5 cans in a day. That's also a lot of caffiene, and really high doses of caffeine in the first trimester can lead to miscarriage in some women. So your baby is likely fine right now, but I would cut back a little in the Diet Pepsi intake. 1-2 cans a day, max.

Answer 2

All the things that you did could be bad if you did them for a long period of time, but I think you handeled it pretty well. We all make little mistakes in the begining cuz we're really not that sure what we should be doing or not doing, but just learn from them and try not to do them from now on. Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

Answer 3

Only if you did them over a long period of time. Check with doctor if your really worried. Somewomen dont find out their pregnant till late on, so they must do loads wrong and be ok.

Try not to worry and do everything as best you can no.

Good Luck
