My first pregnancy was plagued with pregnancy related discomforts that affected me from head to toe. I had zits on my face and body, a pregnancy tumor on my gums which was really huge and caused massive bleeding each time I brushed my teeth, heart burn, severe vomiting for the first 12 weeks, spotting, a sensitive uterus, vaginal yeast infection, threatened prematured labor, among others. I was on semi bed rest for the first 12 weeks and last 1 month of my pregnancy. Despite all the discomforts that I had, I was very adamant that I should not consume any medication to treat the symptoms. My dream was to have a beautiful and healthy baby and my dream was granted.

If you are pregnant, you must be very careful with what you eat, especially with oral meds. Topamax is one drug that has adverse side effects on the unborn child. Topamax taken during pregnancy can result in cleft lip. If you have a baby born with cleft lip and you suspect that it could have been caused by Topomax that you consumed during your pregnancy, you can seek a Topamax birthdefect lawsuit to help you get a compensation.
