When doctors said my unborn child could have severe birth defects I suspected what might be to blame: My weight-loss jabs. I’m so angry I wasn’t told – this is what women need to know: HANNAH SMYTH

It was helplessness to lose three stubborn stones that I put on after two children who took me to Mounjaro for the first time.

In three years since I gave birth to my second child, I tried everything – gym, counting calorie, cut sugar – but nothing did it works.

Then 36, 16 Bedim and 13th 3lbs weighing; I wasn’t exactly obese, but like the others, I heard the so -called ‘King Kong’ of weight loss medications. I think I was swept by all Hype and wanted a quick correction.

Now it’s a decision that I regret deeply.

As a person who tries to avoid taking any kind of medication, even the painkillers did a lot of online research before taking the dive.

In addition to well -known side effects of constipation and nausea, there were possible connections to thyroid cancer and pancreatic problems. But friends who are already in Jabs told me that the side effects are rare and how much they were right when I looked.

Also, I planned to be in Mounjaro for only one or two months – enough to start weight loss – I put these worries behind my mind. However, what later will disturb me for life. I discovered that I was pregnant in Mounjaro five weeks later – although he took my usual measures and plans to have only two children. However, I didn’t want to endure abortion, so we embraced pregnancy and started planning for our new addition.

But in eight weeks, I suffered in pain and after a series of scanning and tests, the doctors explained the horrific news: I probably didn’t carry the baby as a term, and if I did, there was a possibility of being born with severe birth defects.

Drugs and Health Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has proven that weight loss jabs not only make contraception less effective, but also harmful to unborn babies.

After I suffered a lot, I felt that I had no choice but to be terminated; It is a traumatic result that leaves me full of guilt and anger about nine months later.

A blind anger about guilt for killing a potential life and the next revelation that Mounjaro can be blamed.

This month, the drugs and health products regulatory agency (MHRA) issued an urgent warning that weight loss jabs not only make contraceptives less effective, but may prove that they are harmful to unborn infants.

Childbearing age using any slimming injection, including Özempic and Wegovy, were asked to use birth control due to potential risks for both pregnant women and fetus. If Mounjaro users are using pills, contraceptives were told to ‘double grow’.

Still, I wasn’t on the pill – my husband Jonathan and I used to use a fertility practice that has worked perfectly for almost 20 years. Has the drug increased my fertility? And more importantly, as the doctors said, did it cause ‘lifeless pregnancy’ that led to my abortion?

If I knew these risks, I would have completely avoided medication. I find it so painful that if it had been investigated in more detail, it could have avoided this heart attack.

Before I had a family, I never fought my weight and I was always confident in my body. Just my daughter, now after I bought three, I fought to scroll the pounds and I felt it.

I tried to raise my exercise and eat healthy, but it had no effect. After hearing a lot about this ‘Wonder drug’ from the media and friends in them, I decided to give myself a chance.

Has the drug increased my fertility? And more importantly, as the doctors said, did it cause ‘lifeless pregnancy’ that led to my abortion?

After the first jab, my appetite was immediately suppressed, but I was disappointed, I was disappointed to find that I lost only 4lbs in four weeks

Since I was not obese or diabetic – drugs were initially invented to combat diabetes – I didn’t think it was a meaning to contact my GP. Instead, I ordered a low dose of 2.5 mg Mounjaro from online pharmacy to £ 185 per month.

Last October I bought my first jab at 8 o’clock and my appetite was immediately suppressed. The next day I ate less and I wasn’t just interested in food.

This continued, so I was disappointed to find that I lost only 4 lbs in four weeks. And after I scanned a body metrics in my local gym, I discovered that this was 2 lbs of muscle instead of fat.

Still, I continued, I told myself that I was lucky to have no side effects.

At the same time, I noticed that my period was late. Normally, I’m like a hour working every 28 days, so I wondered if the jabs could interrupt my cycles.

Since hormones don’t agree with me, I haven’t used pills or implants since I was 18 years old. Instead, for the last 20 years, I trusted a fertility practice and the thermometer to measure my efficient week – this has helped me to conceive easily to pregnancy and avoid pregnancy for the rest of the time. Therefore, I rejected the possibility of pregnancy.

But until the fifth week, my breasts have previously started to suffer, so I did a test. After all, there was no doubt: positive. My reaction was blind panic and confusion. Jonathan was equally stunned. We were very careful.

When I looked at my fertility practice, he probably showed that I was pregnant for two to three weeks.

I immediately stopped buying Jab. But what is it now?

I love my kids more than anything, but we decided to stand in both. Jonathan was thinking of a vasectomy and I wanted to put my baby days behind me – reclaim my body and career as a graphic designer.

However, I didn’t want to pass myself through the emotional sprinkling of a termination.

Instead, we started to prepare for us to add new to the family. Jonathan went to Rightmove to find out where to buy a four -bed house.

But around eight weeks, I had a breathtaking sharp pain in my stomach. I went to A & E, suspected of a ectopic pregnancy. They performed an internal screening and blood test to control my hormone levels. Since pregnancy was too early, they could not determine where the fetus was, so they decided to test my pregnancy hormones every 48 hours.

During a normal pregnancy, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) hormone should be doubled every 48 hours.

In my first blood test, the second 10 percent, 40 percent increased only 60 percent. Something was very wrong.

I panicked, I went back to the internet, and then I found a study showing that Mounjaro, Wegovy and Özempic were exposed to birth defects of mice and rats. At this point, people had not been connected.

I felt sick. Why wasn’t I even warned that this was even a remote possibility? The only warning about the package is that if you are working for a baby, you shouldn’t take Jab for two months before, but I assumed that it was indifferent because we didn’t try it for a baby.

Another screening showed that pregnancy was not ectopic, but it clearly showed that nothing is true. At this point I admitted that I was in Mounjaro, and the doctors said that I should think very carefully about what to do in the next step.

The doctor said it would be very surprised if I do not naturally miscarriage in the next two weeks. This was destructive; I’ve never done a miscarriage before. However, even worse, if I carried it anywhere near the period, the baby had the chance to be seriously deformed.

I felt very torn. In the neo-natal unit, we now lived life when our six-year-old son was born three months early and had to spend for six months in the hospital and for two years for oxygen. Although it was not a serious problem at the moment, it was incredibly stressed. Did I want to put us again as old parents with two little children?

What if I had continued pregnancy and exposed to the pain of late abortions? Or he gave birth to a baby without a future. Or … Everything had a chance to get in the way and I give birth to a healthy child. At this point, I was still telling myself that abortion is not an option for me. After all, this was my child. Although I was so scared, I wished from time to time to decide nature for me.

My husband was completely on the same page as me. He said that this is my body and that I had to do the right thing for me because I was a person who passes through physical and emotional trauma. I told him about the possible connection with Mounjaro and was shocked like me. But there was no accusation. We were both thinking: ‘How did we need to know?’

Still, until ten weeks, things looked much worse. The decrease in pregnancy hormone levels and the risk of giving birth to a baby without a real future forced us to make a painful decision. I would continue with a chemically induced abortion. I bought two tablets at home and the process ended within about 48 hours.

It was terrible – I spent two days in bed; A mixture of tears, anger and terror. My husband had to be alone to keep the children away; I was told that the Mumya was sick. But Jonathan came regularly to provide me with everything I needed. I just wanted the fear to end.

Later, I went to Cornwall for a few days to commit what happened. When my husband joined me with our children, I felt too guilty – what if I did this to them?

When I got home, I was very embarrassed to accept the truth to my friends. I told those who knew my pregnancy. I noticed that Mounjaro could cause invalid of pregnancy. It made me feel important to other women. I couldn’t stop thinking about little life that I had to end. To stay busy, I threw myself to start my own business as a graphic designer.

But I was still very angry. All pharmacies lost their Veterinary Hache loss Jab patients and mine had done so much zoom; I had the opportunity to warn me with the potential risks of birth defects or at least in increasing fertility.

The studies I have encountered claim that this is a rare side effect. However, when you look at the Mounjaro forums, there are sufficient female jokes on Jab, which has similar experiences to upgrade alarm. Some babies are of course healthy – even they call them ‘algenas’ babies – but they also have miscaries and birth defects.

Let’s admit, there is a lot we don’t know about this miracle Jabs’s long or short -term results.

A few of my school mothers and at least one of them miscarriage. He had no idea about my own experience until he was opened to him. He was scared.

I understand that weight loss jabs might be lifeguards for Morbid Obese, who struggles to pour the pounds in another way. But the truth is that most of us use them as a quick correction to pour two or three stones without knowing the full spectrum of possible side effects.

At a time when the deputies plan to present their jabs to more people, we must rise wisely and quickly in the war against obesity.

As for me, I will keep the guilt and regret of abortion forever.

I don’t want another woman to face the same fate.
