Will Taking Medicine For Viral Infection In Stomach Be Dangerous For An Early Pregnancy ?
Hi I recently went to the hospital for a viral infection in my stomach, there they told me I was pregnant but that it was VERY early. They said too early that I wouldn't see it in a normal tummy ultrasound. So I looked up the vitamin c technique and nothing is wrong with me as far as my medical history. Is it ok for me to go through with this 1000 mg every other hour technique?

No.
Its not advisable to use any medication or vitamin supplement in pregnancy.
Only drug allowed in first trimeter is Folic acid , which is known to prevent neural tube defects.
I would strictly advise you against taking massive doses of Vitamin C. Any viral infection is self limiting.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
