Don't worry: Missing one metformin won't make one bit of difference. Let your doctor(s) know and get back on track, problem solved.

Stop metformin.: No reason to continue metformin if you are now pregnant. If you are diabetic, switch to Insulin or Glyburide instead. Talk to your obstetrician or a maternal-fetal medicine specialist.
