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 :redface:
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. :D
can i ask...
sorry i didnt know people could get worms? how do they get them.
Beatrix they usually can get them from playing in dirt/sand and playing with infected animals I think, then putting hands/fingers in their mouth with out been cleaned. Once they've got them they can reinfect themselves by scratching their bottoms and getting the eggs from around their bum and putting fingers in their mouth. HTH.
