I was 11 weeks pregnant this week. I miscarried the 26th. I went to the ER. My baby stop growing at 8 weeks and 3 days. I took the ear drops march 2 2014, which was 3 weeks ago. That's when my baby stopped growing. I looked up and the FDA hasn't approved that it's healthy or that it might be safe for women who are pregnant. Should I be concerned?

Very sorry to hear about your miscarriage. For future reference:

"Benzocaine topical has been assigned to pregnancy category C by the FDA. Animal studies have not been reported. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Benzocaine topical is only recommended for use during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk." [1]
