Answer Dear Brina,
I'm just an adult cardiologist, and can't answer about your safety with pituitary adenoma. Asthma, hypercholesterolemia and GERD won't bother you or baby. Diabetes sometimes gets a bit worse during pregnancy but sinice you are not taking any diabetes medicines, diabetes shouldn't be a problem for you and certainly not for the baby.
None of the medicines will be a problem for you during pregnancy. Klonopin has risk for the baby during pregnancy. The rest of your medicines are listed as having caused trouble for the fetus in animals but have no known problem in humans because not enough studies. So far as I know the medicines wont affect your future health and fertility, nor will your diagnoses, with the exception that I don't know about the pituitary adenoma. Your doctors will know what kind of adenoma you have and whether it will affect your health and fertility in the future.
About medicines, go to www.pdr.net, use my user name davidwri@comcast.net and password, doctor, look up each medicine and read the information on pregnancy and lactation.
