A member asked:

I just found out im pregnant. what do i do now? see my gp or find a gyne? also im on statins for my cholesterol, should i stop those immediately?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pregnancy/statins?: See an ob/gyn at age 35, since complications of pregnancy are more common. Any meds you are taking should be cleared by your ob/gyn, but statins are not generally going to affect your pregnancy.
