Rationale 1: "I never got my rubella vaccination so I've been staying away from my niece who has rubella.". Pregnant females who have not had or been immunized against rubella must avoid contraction of the virus during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Rationale 2: "I stopped taking Accutane for my acne before we started trying to get pregnant.". The use of Accutane during pregnancy can increase the risk of having a child with congenital heart defects.
Rationale 3: "I have been so careful about taking my insulin now that I'm pregnant.". Females with diabetes mellitus have an increased risk of having a child with a heart defect. Careful regulation of the diabetes before and in early pregnancy can reduce the risk.
Rationale 4: "I just have one glass of wine each evening.". It is not appropriate to drink alcohol during pregnancy because it increases the risk of having a child with birth defects.
Rationale 5: "I had to change to a different medication to prevent my seizures before we got pregnant.". Some anti-seizure medications can increase the risk of having a child with a heart defect.
