This is my Olympic baby.

2
00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:04.480
This is my Olympic baby.

3
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:07.520
It's a new phenomenon women struggling to conceive.

4
00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:11.400
Go on the weight loss drug then out of the blue become pregnant.

5
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.400
It may have been unexpected, but we're being excited.

6
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.520
Deb Oliveira says she was plagued by fertility issues,

7
00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:22.440
but is now 10 weeks pregnant after going on Ozempic to lose weight.

8
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.320
Here she is in shock after taking not one,

9
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.480
but three pregnancy tests that were all positive.

10
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.480
And she says she was on birth control when she got pregnant.

11
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:36.200
I had no idea the effects of fertility that this medication had.

12
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.200
Taylor Smith also calls her four month old little guy in Ozempic baby.

13
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.520
We were over the moon, but shocked.

14
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.760
She says she'd suffered from years of fertility problems

15
00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:50.960
and was taking Ozempic to lose weight when baby Logan suddenly came into their lives.

16
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.400
We had just been trying. We had literally just given up.

17
00:00:54.400 --> 00:00:59.120
Women are now taking to social media to spread the word about getting pregnant

18
00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:01.040
while on weight loss drugs.

19
00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:07.560
My theory is I think we're conceiving like a lot easier.

20
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:13.760
There are also these posts happened to me on manjaro after three years of fertility treatments.

21
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:18.960
My Ozempic whoops baby is eight months old after four years of infertility.

22
00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:23.880
But many medical experts warn not to take weight loss drugs like Ozempic

23
00:01:23.880 --> 00:01:25.440
just to get pregnant.

24
00:01:25.440 --> 00:01:27.440
So what's going on here?

25
00:01:27.440 --> 00:01:31.840
One theory is weight loss through Ozempic can cause hormone changes.

26
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.640
If you have excess fat, you can make excess hormones

27
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.440
and then that can cause a hormone imbalance.

28
00:01:36.440 --> 00:01:37.240
That's how it works.

29
00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:41.200
So that's the connection between fat and infertility.

30
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.080
This is my Ozempic baby.

31
00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:45.640
Experts say if you get pregnant while taking a weight loss drug,

32
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.160
stop the drug immediately due to possible side effects.

33
00:01:49.160 --> 00:01:54.040
They also warn that those drugs can sometimes make birth control pills less effective.
