The explosion of GLP-1 drugs has created a gray zone for pregnancy. That recently prompted the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to issue its first ever guidance on the topic. In a twist, the drugs may boost fertility for some, leading to more pregnancies – a phenomenon known on social media as “Ozempic babies”. But doctors caution against using the drugs during pregnancy itself. In fact, the more we looked into this story, the more twists and nuances we found. So, we brought Dr. Amy Valent of Oregon Health and Science University onto the show to break down the latest on what’s known about how these drugs affect fertility and pregnancy.
