As a former midwife, I will add that it seems the babies are not having tragic consequences - YET. With _many_ medications, including opioids, methadone, some psych meds, etc., they do not show their deleterious effects until school age. So while we might not hear about difficulties with babies whose moms stayed on the medication, that does not mean they might not have issues as they get older. PLEASE do not keep taking the GLP-1s without your provider's knowledge (as many are doing). There is too much unknown still. Be safe, please.
I would agree with this as I remember Thalidomide really well and the incedence of nausea with GLP-1 agonists makes me worry as some anti nausea drugs (as Thalidomide was) cause, or are suspected to cause, birth defects. Also these drugs themselves haven't been round long enough to guage the effects on pregnant women. I'm post menopausal but I wouldn't take anything during my pregnancies that would impact or even had a remote possibility of impacting my baby, and that goes without saying for drugs that are comparatively new. They should just wait until after the pregnancy, or if its a planned pregnancy, long enough for it to have completely cleared the body of the prospective mum.
Great video, thanks. I’d like to know more about the interaction of oral contraceptive pills and the GLPs. I thought it was more a concern for first month of starting the GLP?
I finally took my first Wegovy injection yesterday, I was really frightened, I have felt really tired yesterday but at night woke up several times due to thirst, I drank a couple of litres between 11am and now and am off to buy more bottled water to keep up my hydration. I have had vague headachy feeling but thats maybe down to feeling dehydrated during the night and have had a vague kind of acidy almost but not quite nausea feeling which comes and goes. I have taken my Vitamin D and K, Omega 3, 6 and 9 capsules and garlic which I like to take and have been eating normally, although I have already noticed a lack of motivation to eat. I was so scared and am still worrying about the side effects that may or may not come. I noticed that there are a lot of people have to take Zofran? (anti-emetic) for nausea and I get prescribed cyclizine for occasional vertigo and wondered if I did get nausea it was ok to take cyclizine?
Im on Wegovy 2.4 & want to come off to do an IVF egg retrieval. Is it a better approach to switch to saxenda and come off that? What’s the transition for that? Is it dose to dose match?
Thanks for watching!

You will constantly be nauseous while taking the drug. You're paralyzing your stomach and long term use can damage your pancreas.
