A member asked:

Im 10w3days pregnant. i used icy hot medicated spray on my left hand twice. now came to know that it is not recommended while pregnant. im so worried now. is my baby doing ok? what should i use for hand pain?

Be careful: I would avoid medications in your first trimester at all costs, so simply stop the icy hot. I don’t believe your baby is in any severe danger if the use was only twice. I would discuss this with your OB Gyne and see if you can take Tylenol on some minimal use basis when you are in your 2nd trimester for pain relief ( after 13 weeks)
