Hi! I am glad you posed this question. I am on baclofen and was on it
when I got pregnant 2 years ago. My doctors did research and found that
it can cause abdominal "bulges" (far from the correct medical term).
Once they learned this info, I stop taking baclofen and had periodic
ultrasounds to be sure that my son was o.k. He was fine. It made me
feel better to know that this "bulging" was only caused in rats by a
dosage 13x the normal human dosage. But, we sure don't want to take any
chances with these little babies.

Best of luck to you!
