If you're reading this, you probably want clear info about what to expect during pregnancy and how meds fit in. We get it – the first trimester feels like a roller‑coaster, the second brings new energy, and the third is all about getting ready. This page brings together the most useful articles from Norxlist.com so you can find answers fast.
First trimester (weeks 1‑12) – Nausea, fatigue, and a bunch of hormonal changes are normal. Your body is building the placenta, so iron and folic acid become crucial. If you’re wondering whether a supplement like lousewort is safe, check our "Lousewort Supplement" guide for dosage and safety tips.
Second trimester (weeks 13‑27) – Energy usually picks up, and you may feel the baby move. This is a good time to review any prescribed meds. Our article on "Metoclopramide" explains when it’s safe to use for nausea and what side effects to watch for.
Third trimester (weeks 28‑40) – Weight gain and shortness of breath are common. Hormone levels shift again, and you might need extra support for blood pressure or breathing. Look at our "Beta‑Blockers and Exercise" piece if you’re on heart medication and want to stay active.
Not all drugs are created equal when you’re pregnant. Some are fine in the second trimester but risky in the first. Our site has dozens of guides on specific meds – from antibiotics like azithromycin to inhalers like Ventolin. Each guide lists dosage, side effects, and legal notes for New Zealand, so you can make an informed call.
When you need to order a prescription online, follow the steps in our "Buy Ventolin Online Safely" or "Buy Flomax Online" articles. They walk you through checking pharmacy credentials, looking for CIPA certification, and spotting red flags.
Remember, always talk to your doctor before starting any new supplement or changing a dose. Even natural herbs like canaigre or Renalka have interactions you don’t want to miss.
