Pregnancy and Pills: A Love Story with a Smart Ending

Pregnancy is like starring in your own superhero origin story. You’re growing a new life, battling mood swings, and navigating cravings that turn pickles and chocolate into a culinary masterpiece. But there’s one plot twist that trips up even the most dedicated moms-to-be: remembering to take your medications.

Between prenatal vitamins, iron supplements, and prescriptions for chronic conditions, sticking to a regimen feels like solving a puzzle blindfolded. And the stats agree—medication adherence during pregnancy is a global challenge. Studies show that adherence rates for prescribed pregnancy medications range from 17% to 74%, depending on the medication and condition.

So, how can modern moms embrace their inner superhero while keeping track of their health? Enter ReMed+, the ultimate sidekick to ensure you never miss a dose again.

Pregnancy and Medication: Why Adherence Is a Big Deal

Your body isn’t just supporting you—it’s building a whole new person. That’s why medication adherence is more than just a checkbox; it’s a commitment to the health of two lives.

Failing to stick to your prescribed meds can lead to serious complications:

• Iron Deficiency Anaemia: Did you know this condition affects nearly 40% of pregnancies? Left untreated, it increases the risk of low birth weight, preterm delivery, and maternal fatigue (as if you weren’t tired enough).
• Gestational Hypertension: Roughly 2-8% of pregnancies experience this condition, which can escalate into preeclampsia and threaten both mom and baby.
• Gestational Diabetes: Poorly controlled blood sugar raises the risk of macrosomia (aka, an adorably large baby) and delivery complications. Yet adherence rates for medications like metformin hover around 38%, leaving much room for improvement.

Skipping a pill might seem harmless, but in pregnancy, every dose counts.

Why Medication Adherence Feels Impossible

Managing medications during pregnancy feels like balancing plates on a stick—while riding a rollercoaster. What’s making it so hard?

• Fear of the Unknown: Many pregnant women hesitate to take meds out of concern for their baby, even when prescribed by a doctor.
• Morning Sickness Mayhem: When you’re battling nausea 24/7, swallowing pills feels like a cruel joke.
• “Baby Brain”: Pregnancy-induced forgetfulness is real, making it easy to skip a dose without even realizing it.
• Complicated Schedules: Multivitamins in the morning, iron at night, and something else mid-day? It’s no wonder so many struggle.

Despite these barriers, adherence is non-negotiable. But don’t worry—there’s help.
