When I was pregnant my perinatologist (I was high risk and saw the peris and my regular ob) took me off when I reached my 2nd trimester as he said there are no studies on the safety of taking it after the 1st trimester. I did have gd but we knew that early on b/c my previous pregnancy i had it as well. I had a monitor and was checking my sugars regularly. I am not on it now b/c it kills my stomach. It didn't do it to me the 1st time I took it but it was so bad that I went to the gi b/c i thought it was gallbladder attacks. But it was the metformin. I may call my ob one of these days to see ift here is some other medicine. Anyway, sorry for the rambling. I guess just ask your ob his/her opinion on if you should take it of nor.
