Antibiotics - I'm a bit scared!

[[M]umma[M]ia]

i was on antibiotics 4 times during my preganancy and bub was just fine!

i never had to have them during my pg but one of my friends did and the dr said they were enough to slowly kill what ever was making her sick so take the whole course and she wouldn't feel instantly better like u some times do with normal ones, apparantly for use in pg they give u a really low dose. BTW her bub was born fine (she had them at about 30 weeks I think)
Hope your gum isn't too sore

Yep, me too. I got really sick and ended up having to take them. Like you i didnt really want to but i was reassured that they were safe and i suppose it is important that you stay well, you could end up with a systemic type of infection if it spread, which cant be good for bubs. If you can, though, i would take a probiotic of some sort to keep all those good bacteria around, which the antibiotics may kill.
