Please don’t judge

Hey, I think you are OK! Have you let your GP and HV know this? They can safely monitor you and flag any issues if they arise.

What matters now is that you stop the medication and get medical advice without delay. Try not to catastrophise. Many people in this situation go on to have healthy pregnancies.

Having taken Mounjaro before you knew you were pregnant is currently regarded as low risk.

A single dose early in pregnancy is unlikely to cause clear harm, but no amount of Mounjaro has been confirmed safe during pregnancy. The risk depends on timing and gestation. Get medical advice as soon as possible rather than concluding.

There is not enough human data to say it is safe and Animal data does not translate directly to humans, and the human evidence so far is more reassuring than the animal data, but it is limited.

Fertility can return suddenly while on Mounjaro. Also, the medication might impact the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. These are things worth knowing.

I hope this reassures you abit x

I haven't been on mounjaro before and knew I was pregnant early on with my little boy though had hyperemesis gravidarum in early stages so was not able to eat much and could not stand the vitamins for a while!

However, my baby was measuring small. My initial growth scan he was measuring on the 1st centile and then my consultant scan he was measuring on the 4th centile. He was born 8lb 1oz! So was a perfectly healthy sized baby. He was born at 41 weeks exactly and unfortunately ended up being an emergency caesarean. I was induced and got to full dilation ready to push but he moved and was then breach and diagonal so was rushed to theatre.

Congratulations on your little baby! I know it's easier said than done but try not to stress yourself out. You can only ever act on information you had at that time and you didn't know you were pregnant!

I think I was probably on it for at least the first 3 weeks of this pregnancy and drinking willy nilly and she's measuring well and healthy

Worrying about it doesn't change it, all you can do is make healthy choices going forward
