Periconceptional folic acid/multivitamin supplementation and twin pregnancy

Article Abstract:

Discussing the previous randomized controlled trial suggested an increase of twin pregnancies that was associated with the use of a multivitamin that contained folic acid during the periconceptional period. Findings suggest that both pre- and postconceptional supplementation of a high dose of folic acid and multivitamins are associated with a slight increase of the incidence of twin pregnancies.

Use of cephalosporins during pregnancy and in the presence of congenital abnormalities: a population-based, case-control study

Article Abstract:

Cephalosporins as a group do not appear to increase the risk of fetal abnormalities when taken by pregnant women, according to a study of 22,865 pregnant women who had a baby with a birth defect and 38,151 pregnant women who had a healthy baby. However, more research is needed on individual cephalosporins.

A population-based case-control teratologic study of ampicillin treatment during pregnancy

Article Abstract:

The antibiotic ampicillin does not appear to increase the risk of birth defects when used by pregnant women during the second and third month of pregnancy. The only possible exception is an increased risk of cleft palate, but further research is needed to confirm this.
