Had anyone taken it during pregnancy? Or knows someone who did?
I will be taking it only when I am in pain from the unruptured follicle that I have.
Honestly, I am scared of taking it. I know that the doctor knows more than me, but I have been googling and it says that its harmful for unborn baby and it should be only taken when doctor says so during pregnancy.
I know it says that if doc says I should, then I should, but I am still scared!
This is what I have found:

Mobic could cause harm during pregnancy, and it is best to avoid it.

FDA pregnancy category C. Mobic may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. Taking Mobic during the last 3 months of pregnancy may result in birth defects. Do not take Mobic during pregnancy unless your doctor has told you to. Mobic can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use Mobic without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Do not give this medicine to a child younger than 2 years old without the advice of a doctor.

Pregnancy
Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category C.
Meloxicam caused an increased incidence of septal defect of the heart, a rare event, at an
oral dose of 60 mg/kg/day (64.5-fold the human dose at 15 mg/day for a 50 kg adult
based on body surface area conversion) and embryolethality at oral doses ≥ 5 mg/kg/day
(5.4-fold the human dose, as noted above) when rabbits were treated throughout
organogenesis. Meloxicam was not teratogenic in rats up to an oral dose of 4 mg/kg/day
(approximately 2.2-fold the human dose, as noted above) throughout organogenesis. An
increased incidence of stillbirths was observed when rats were given oral doses ≥ 1
mg/kg/day throughout organogenesis. Meloxicam crosses the placental barrier. There
are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. MOBIC should be used
during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
