Second trimester (weeks 13–28) Third trimester (weeks 28–40) Labor Postpartum and lactation; Acetaminophen Risk factor: B when taken orally (C for intravenous use) 650 mg every 4–6 hours or 1 g every 6 hours. Use with caution Strong evidence against increased risk of miscarriage , serious birth defects , IQ, or physical growth . We examined the risk of major congenital malformations and cardiac defects associated with gabapentin exposure during the first trimester (T1), and the risk of preeclampsia (PE), preterm birth (PTB), small for gestational age (SGA), and neonatal intensive care unit admission (NICUa) associated with gabapentin exposure early, late, or both early In our study, only 28% of the women continued taking gabapentin throughout pregnancy as two-thirds of the women (66%) discontinued in the first trimester, most following pregnancy confirmation between 6 and 8 weeks’ gestation. Does taking gabapentin in pregnancy increase the chance of other pregnancy-related problems? Pregnancy-related problems, such as preterm delivery (birth before week 37) or low birth weight (weighing less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces [2500 grams] at birth) have been reported in some studies looking at the use of gabapentin during pregnancy. While gabapentin (Neurontin) is now used in a wide variety of clinical settings — for epilepsy, pain management, restless leg syndrome, anxiety, and sleep disturbance – there is relatively little information regarding its reproductive safety. Most recently, a prospective study from researchers at the Motherisk program reports on the outcomes of 223 pregnancies exposed to gabapentin Short courses of weaker opioids are generally safe in pregnancy, although neonatal abstinence syndrome must be monitored following third trimester exposure. Limited safety data for pregabalin and gabapentin indicate that these are unlikely to be major teratogens, and tricyclic antidepressants and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors This sheet is about exposure to gabapentin in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. This information is based on available published literature. It should not take the place of medical care and advice from your healthcare provider. Previous research has shown that gabapentin can be easily transmitted from to a child in utero through active transplacental transport of gabapentin via the placental L-type amino acid transporter.4 Gabapentin has been used in pregnancy for treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum and restless leg syndrome.5,6 Gabapentin use throughout pregnancy There was a higher risk of preterm birth among women exposed to gabapentin either late (RR, 1.28 [1.08–1.52], p < 0.01) or both early and late in pregnancy (RR, 1.22 [1.09–1.36], p < 0.001), SGA among women exposed to gabapentin early (1.17 [1.02–1.33], p = 0.02), late (1.39 [1.01–1.91], p = 0.05), or both early and late in pregnancy Pregnant patients experiencing insomnia in the 3rd trimester is a common occurrence, yet management approaches are highly varied and medication efficacy remains unclear. This study sought to determine which medication proved most effective for patients with insomnia in the 3rd trimester. The Neurontin Pregnancy Registry was established to determine the effects of gabapentin exposure during pregnancy on the rate of congenital malformation. In addition, the registry is a means of examining the effects of gabapentin exposure on the rates of maternal complications, cesarean sections, low birth weight babies, fetal loss, and Exposure to gabapentin in pregnant people was defined as having at least one prescription filled during one of the exposure windows of interest (First trimester, Second trimester, and Third trimester) or a prescription filled before the beginning of the exposure window but with a duration overlapping the exposure window. continued gabapentin: one after 1 month of exposure, one after 5–6 months of exposure, and the third at 7 monthsofgestation. Of those patients diagnosed with epilepsy, 52.8% suffered from either complex partial seizures (CPS) or CPS with secondary generalization (Table 1). By the third trimester, 36.1% of the patients were seizure-free Advice and warnings for the use of Gabapentin during pregnancy. FDA Pregnancy Category C - Risk cannot be ruled out Gabapentin works by targeting and reducing the intensity of nerve signals, which could be particularly helpful for pregnant women experiencing discomfort in their third trimester. By taking Gabapentin, you may find relief from pain, tingling, and other uncomfortable sensations. There's no evidence to suggest that taking gabapentin reduces fertility in either men or women. However, discuss your pregnancy plans with a doctor. They may wish to review your medicine and prescribe a higher dose of folic acid for you to take (5mg a day) before you become pregnant. Thirty-eight of the thirty-nine women (97%) were exposed to gabapentin during their first trimester; 36 of the 44 live births (81.8%) were exposed to gabapentin throughout the entire gestation. Sixteen women, accounting for 17 of the 51 fetuses (33.3%), began their pregnancies while on gabapentin monotherapy. 4,642 pregnancies with first trimester gabapentin exposure were identified (mean age of 28 years; 69% white). A reference group consisting of 1,744,447 unexposed pregnancies (mean age of 24 years; 40% white) was also identified. Maternal NSAID usage during the third trimester of pregnancy is contraindicated as it is associated with neonatal pulmonary hypertension secondary to the premature closure of the ductus arteriosus. IV Ketamine is contraindicated in the treatment of acute pain during pregnancy, despite its occasional use in anesthesia for labor and delivery.
