  1. Thanks for all the advice. We went to our ob/gyn today and he called an ob/gyn medication specialist up in St Louis. We were told to stay on Midodrine but only at half the normal dosage. We are going to a high risk ob/gyn next week so I will have an update of their advice then. Thanks for listening Timk
  2. First off I'm new to this website. My wife is the one with POTS and I'm doing everything I can to help her out. Here's a little bit of her history. A year after we were married she started passing out monthly. Then weekly. Then it was up to three times a day. I have caught her over 900 times from blackouts. She was bed ridden for a year and a half until we finally found a Dr who diagnosed her. She was put on Midodrine, told to drink LOTS of water and wear stockings. What a difference. She now has a part time job as a medical transcriptionist and is doing better. We recently found out that she was pregnant with out first child. We asked our Drs about Midodrine and what to do since she was pregnant. We were told to stay on it by one and to take her off it by another. I've done extensive research about the drug and pregnancy and everything comes back that it's a C class drug and nobody knows anything except what it does to mice and rats given 10 to 13 times the dose. I've read on the past forums from a year ago about women on Midodrine and pregnancy but was wondering if anyone had any recent experiences being on Midodrine while pregnant. Any little info will help. Thanks Timk
