In fact, it&#8217;s estimated that over 85% of expecting mothers will deal with back pain. Finding relief without the use of medication is almost always the best route for the health of mom and baby. Even over-the-counter medications can be risky to take before and during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it Matters:<br><\/strong>All medications have side-effects, and these side-effects are often heightened during pregnancy. For instance, a drug like acetaminophen has been linked to a greater risk of ADHD and asthma in children. Additionally, NSAIDs have been linked to a 59% increased risk of miscarriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"small wp-block-list\"><li>Finding natural pain solutions throughout pregnancy is a smart decision.<\/li><li>NSAIDs cross from mother to baby easily through the placenta and can influence the production of prostaglandins that promote inflammation.<\/li><li>Taking NSAIDs can increase the risks of asthma and hypertension in newborns.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Next Steps:<br><\/strong>Talking to your doctor about medication use before becoming pregnant is a smart idea.
