Lansoprazole during pregnancy

[sankari78]

hi,
I have been taking lansoprazole for the past 6 months for GERD and discovered that i'm 7 weeks pregnant by this month. My doctor advised me to stop Lansoprazole and continue Ranitidine for any GERD symptoms. I'm worried about my foetus now as i have been taking this medicine for more than a month during pregnancy and i'm worried that if Lansoprazole will have any effect on my foetus. Can anyone let me know if it's safe to take lansoprazole during preganncy or does anyone has any such experience earlier? Kindly advise

thanks,
Sankari

How far along in your pregnancy were you when you got your last false negative? I am 3 weeks late for my period, having some nausea, fatigue, bloating, aversion to smells, and maybe some cravings (I've been wanting eggs for days). I think I may be pregnant but I have taken two HPTs and both have said negative. I'm planning on seeing a dr next week for a blood test but I'm just wondering if it is possible to get this far into a pregnancy and still get a false negative.
