Is there any effect on the fetus if you get pregnant while taking Chinese medicine?

Generally speaking, pregnancy during the consumption of traditional Chinese medicine has a certain effect on the fetus, and it is necessary to combine the type of medicine to determine whether it has an effect on the fetus. Tonic Chinese medicines usually have less effect, but medicines for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis (to promote the operation of the blood and eliminate blood stasis in the body) may lead to miscarriage, and some poisonous traditional Chinese medicines may also lead to malformation of the fetus. Medicines for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis have a blood-activating effect, which may affect fetal implantation, thus leading to miscarriage with preeclampsia. There are also some Chinese medicines that have certain excitatory effects, which may stimulate uterine contractions, leading to fetal hypoxia and affecting the normal growth and development of the fetus. There are also some toxic Chinese medicines, such as croton, arsenic, talc, etc., which contain teratogenic ingredients, and the embryo is more sensitive in the early stage of pregnancy, which is easily affected by such substances, leading to fetal malformation. Therefore, pregnancy during the consumption of Chinese medicine generally has a certain effect on the fetus, it is recommended to take good contraceptive measures during the consumption of Chinese medicine. If you feel unwell, please consult a doctor in time and do not take any medication on your own to avoid any adverse reactions.
