My daughter got head lice from school, and now I'm worried I might get them too. We usually use Mediker shampoo, but I'm pregnant. Is it safe for me to use Mediker while I'm expecting?
I am also trying to conceive and very careful about what products I use. I read that chemical head lice treatments might not be fully safe, so maybe you can ask your doctor first? A traditional fine comb might be a gentler way to deal with it for now.
Oh dear, don't stress too much about lice, it's so annoying but totally treatable! But please avoid using Mediker directly without checking with your doctor first. Try using a neem oil or just simple wet combing for now, it's much safer for the baby.
Mediker is cheap but it's better not to use it without asking your gynac, as pregnancy requires extra care. A simple fine-tooth nit comb costs almost nothing and is 100% safe. Save your doctor consultations for your main checkups, but do ask about this on your next routine call.
Honestly, don't risk using chemical lice shampoos right now because we don't know what gets absorbed. Just spend 15 minutes daily doing wet combing with a fine nit comb and some safe conditioner. If the issue is too bad, quickly call your gynac to ask for a safe prescription.
When we are pregnant, especially after a long wait, we have to be so careful with what we apply on our scalp. I would advise keeping Mediker aside and consulting your doctor for a safe alternative. Wet combing is very tedious but it is completely safe for your precious little one.
I would suggest asking your doctor before using any lice shampoo like Mediker during pregnancy. For a safer option, you can try using a fine-toothed nit comb on wet hair. Take care!
