Toddler with worms and I'm pregnant!

[Nai]

My DD woke up last night with an itchy bottom and was inconsolable. I ended up putting some sudocreme on her bottom as I read that it can help with the itch. So today I have to get her some worming tablets and I have to treat the family too - BUT I'm 18 weeks pregnant!

What can I take?

not sure. you could always call the chemist and ask them if there is anything you can safely take or if you dont trust them 100% ask your GP. :-)

You can't take worming medication while you're PG. We've BTDT when I was PG with Caleb. I was so paranoid that I had them too
Worm her and DP ASAP and be diligent with hygiene with DD for the next day or two.

Thanks Sam - I thought that was the case I'm freaking out in case I already have them!

Worm the ENTIRE family at the same time, DH and pets included, but not you!!! Wash all the bed linen (they can escape!) and you'll be fine.
