What women say about the Ouiiou consultation

STORIES

I was diagnosed with depression 2 years ago. I felt much better when I started taking sertraline. When I started planning my pregnancy I needed to know if I could keep on taking my medicine. The thought of giving up sertraline was as scary as the thought that it could be harmful to my baby. The Ouiiou advice was very reliable and my questions were answered step by step. The support from Ouiiou also helped me with my doctors appointments. I hold Ouiiou in the highest praise.
Joyce (depression)

I’ve suffered from hay fever for years, especially in spring. I always take cetirizine and it really helps. Then when I was pregnant with my first child I didn’t know how to cope with the sneezing, runny nose and itchy, red eyes without endangering my unborn child. The Ouiiou consultant gave me lots of useful tips and I was relieved to find out that I could treat my allergy during my pregnancy. I totally recommend Ouiiou.
Estelle (allergy)

I’ve had asthma since I was a child and have it under control with fluticasone and salbutamol. I was really worried when I found out that I was pregnant that my asthma medication could harm my unborn baby. I tried doing without my asthma sprays but realised I was getting very out of breath easily when I did sports and I woke up with coughing attacks at night. Ouiiou advised me how important it was for me and my baby to continue my asthma medication. They recommended I see my doctor and the written report from Ouiiou was very useful for him. The rest of the pregnancy was a breeze.
Dilara (asthma)

After just 3 weeks my daughter and I were a dream team when it came to breastfeeding. But then I developed a painful lump in my left breast with fever and headache. I was so ill after 2 days that the doctor prescribed me Dicloxacillin. I was really worried that the antibiotic would be bad for my baby. At Ouiiou I found out that I didn’t need to worry. I warmly recommend Ouiiou advice for any questions during breastfeeding.
Derya (mastitis)

I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease years ago. At first I took Mesalazine and Azathioprine but because the Crohn’s wasn’t under control, my medication was changed to Infliximab. It was very difficult to find out any information about my medication for Crohn’s during pregnancy. After ages looking in the internet I found Ouiiou and got very good advice.
Anastasija (Crohn’s disease)

I’ve suffered from epileptic fits since my childhood and take lamotrigine to keep them under control. When I read up about taking lamotrigine during pregnancy I found conflicting information which made me worried. The Ouiiou team counselled me so that I could understand and process the information. They also gave me a written report for my paediatrician so that he could monitor my baby better. That meant I could breastfeed my baby with a good conscience.
Maja (epilepsy)
