Worms - treatment when pregnant???

[Curly]

Great. I suspect DS has worms. I have to confirm this by shining a torch on his anus in the middle of the night and possibly placing a bit of sticky tape over his anus to see if it picks up any eggs.

Won't that be fun.

If he does indeed have worms, the whole family is going to have to be treated, according to my googling.

Anyone happen to know if pregnant women can safely be treated for worms???? Obviously I'm going to be taking DS to the GP and will inquire then...but in the meantime, I'm wondering!
