I used a topical muscle relief at 17 weeks pregnant. the medical ingredients are menthol 4% w/w and capsaicin .025% w/w. is my baby ok? one time use

OK: No worries with using this in the amount you did. This should not affect your baby. In the future, please discuss with your OB care provider and treatments you might want to use before trying them. Best of luck with your pregnancy. Dr R

Relax - check w/ ob: Don't worry - one use will probably be safe at this stage of pregnancy. It's not advised in last 3 mths and use should be very limited earlier - but once is limited. Ask your obgyn for alternatives o use in the future. Relax.
