No worries! Only thing I get from taking it is horrible thrush... yuk. Remind me again why I want to be pregnant so bad?? hahahaha Hope u feel better soon babe xox
I know the stress about do I, don't I take certain medications. I haven't taken that one. I was diagnosed with the Swine Flu at 17 weeks and the maternity department wanted me to take Tami Flu which is an antibiotic. When I looked it up on the net it said it hadn't been conclusively studied on pregnant women. Anyhow I took it as they told me it was in my interest and the baby's. I had my scan at 20 weeks and everything seems fine.
I think with the flu, the main thing is to try and control your temperature and breathing. So if you're having problems with these areas then some treatment is probably good. The maternity department told me that the flu doesn't cross the placenta and the baby should cope well with coughing etc. It's only things like high temperature (over 38) and breathing problems which could impact.
If you want more advice on the antibiotic you could double check with the pharmacist (i found some of them to be really helpful, better than GPs on what to take when pregnant) or call your care provider.
oh you poor thing, it is really hard to be sick in pregnancy isn't it? for me personally, i think it depends on your doctor whether or not you believe them. if my doctor told me it was safe then i would believe him coz i trust him, but i know what you mean about sometimes not trusting the doctors. I think it depends on how you feel - there's no point being ridiculously sick when you have been prescribed something that is relatively ok and that will help you feel better. You're out of the first trimester now, so hopefully it should be fine. Hope you feel better son
Hi, i am 8 weeks and currently taking Amoxicillin. I was very hesitant, but after talking to 3 doctors i have decided i am comfortable taking it. Of course it's not desirable, but they all assure me it has been used many many times in pregnant women with no ill effect.
FWIF- It's Cat B.
From MIMS "Category B: Either animal-reproduction studies have not demonstrated a foetal risk but there are no controlled studies in pregnant women or animal-reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect (other than a decrease in fertility) that was not confirmed in controlled studies in women in the 1st trimester (and there is no evidence of a risk in later trimesters)."
Thanks eveyone. I have now taken 3 tabs and when I woke up this morning I was so much better then yestrday! Im glad I have taken it as my sinus infection was painfull and is still painfull. It was very hard to function and look after my nearly 2 YO DD when I was so sick.
