My friend just discovered she’s 7 months pregnant after unknowingly being pregnant the entire time- should we be concerned about medication/nutrition exposure? I’m posting because I’m honestly pretty worried for my friend and would appreciate some insight from people who know more about pregnancy/OB care. My friend just found out that she is approximately 7 months pregnant . She had genuinely not known she was pregnant this entire time. Her doctor has done an ultrasound and told her that the baby currently looks fine , which is obviously reassuring. The part that worries me is what happened during those 7 months because she had no idea she was pregnant. She has been receiving Mounjaro (tirzepatide) injections approximately every month from another doctor throughout this time. She was apparently being treated for diabetes/weight management and the doctor giving the injections didn’t know she was pregnant either . She also hasn’t really been eating much or particularly well during this time. There have been periods where she would eat only once a day , sometimes just something like an egg for the whole day. She has also taken things like Tylenol and constipation medication. Now that she knows she’s pregnant, obviously she’s going to be working with her OB!! I’m especially worried about the Mounjaro exposure and the fact that she has had very limited nutrition for much of the pregnancy . At the same time, her doctor says the baby looks fine on ultrasound, so I’m trying not to panic or assume the worst. For anyone familiar with OB care or pregnancies where someone didn’t know they were pregnant until very late: How reassuring is it when the ultrasound looks normal at ~7 months despite this kind of medication and nutritional exposure? What kind of additional monitoring would typically be done? I know Reddit can’t determine whether the baby is healthy from this ultrasound, and we’re not looking for a diagnosis. I’m mainly trying to understand how concerning this situation
