Medications
If you are taking medications for any long term conditions, do not stop taking them or change the dose without talking to your GP first. If you’re not sure about the safety of certain medications, talk to your GP or local pharmacist. If you want to breastfeed, discuss any medications you take with your doctor before you give birth – to see if they are safe for breastfeeding, and if not, what alternatives you might be able to take.
Your GP can provide you with a signed form for a maternity exemption certificate. This will entitle you to free NHS prescriptions up to one year after the birth of your baby.
