in 2nd Trimester

i did not take progesterone.  i do, however, have epilepsy and took (and am still taking)  topamax during pregnancy.  it is a newer drug and is category C.  the hypospadias was found at birth, although i had 9 u/s throughout pregnancy including level II and 3D.

my neurologist and OB did not find until he was born that the medicine may have played a role in it, but out of the other birth defects that are associated with it (cleft palate and neural tube defects), i would choose hypospadias anyday.  it is so easily fixable.

i take 4mg folic acid a day so hopefully this one will be just as perfect as he was :)

    Thanks for the info.  I am taking extra folic acid too, but more as empiracle treatment for repeated loss.  After doing alot of research on progesterone, I figured that the benefits far outweighed the risks and that like you said it is easily treated with surgery.  thank you for the information-I appreciate you sharing. 

    and congrats on your new pregnancy!!  This one has been a bit more difficult than the first.  But I am  getting "my second wind" now and feeling much better now.  How are you doing?

    Good now. I was alot more nauseous this time around and REALLY tired.  I am starting to feel movement now and it is just wonderful.  I also feel huge.  I didn't start showing till 20 weeks with Ethan but I am already getting a bump now so it makes me nervous.  I don't know how I will be able to make it through the holiday season, I am going to be a whale.  LOL I guess it is all for a good cause though!!
