Answer 1

He'll no! they will hurt your baby the same as pain pills don't take them at all.You can talk to your doctor.

Answer 2

i dont know the thing about diet pills are they are not FDA regulated there is no way of knowing whats in it and i am scared for what the future of the baby holds. but i know its not safe normally they curb your appitite making you not want to eat and thats not healthy and sometimes they even have thinngs in them that can slow ur own heartbeat let alone one of an unborn child

Answer 3

When you are pregnant, your heart has to work almost twice as hard to maintain good blood pressure to your body and also your baby's body. If this girl is taking diet pills, it is going to speed her heart up even more and that is reeeeallly not safe. From experience I have passed out on diet pills before and just being pregnant, it feels like my heart wants to jump out of my chest sometimes. She is also taking an enormous risk on her baby because his heart isn't even fully developed yet and for it to be put under that type of pressure could possibly cause a miscarriage. She could even suffer severe consequences of her own. She really needs to stop taking the pills for her and her baby's safety. Good luck!

give me a BREAK! Might as well wash the diet pill down with some Vodka, do a line of Coke, and have a smoke too!

SELFISH-shame on her....

Answer 5

If you restrict your nutritional intake, (which is the intent of taking a diet pill) you risk having a baby with a low birth weight, which can lead to a host of other problems.

Not to mention that there's no way of telling exactly what ingredients are in most diet pills.

No medication should ever be taken by a pregnant woman unless her doctor prescribes it.  

Answer 6

Oh yeah, they will give the baby birth defects. I was on diet pills at the start of my pregnancy not knowing I was pregnant. the minute I found out, i stopped and I still don't know if it has effected my child.. The ultra sounds have showed up o.k but depending on the strength and what she is taking, there are diverse effects.. Very harmful. They even say it on the packaging as a big warning.

Answer 7

People are rediculous... Confront her about this... Just let her know your concerened! As far as the effects I'm not completely sure but dr always says don't diet while your pregnant!!!

Answer 8

OMG she should not be taking diet pills at all...there are serious birth defects that her baby will most likely face...

the diet pills will definitely strip her fetus of the nutrients and vitamins it needs to develop...the fetus will either die or she will have a baby with a lot of disabilities....make her stop or tell someone that has more authority than you make her stop...she is killing her baby...
