Doc has not prescribed me anything, im just asking because i had this medicine name written in an old strip at ghar. Im 2nd trimester and bit careful about what goes in. Will obviously check with my gynac before taking, just wanted to know others experience.
I am in my second trimester and my doctor just suggested ampicillin for a throat infection, which has me so anxious. Has anyone else safely taken it during their pregnancy without any issues?
Since I had thyroid and had to be very careful with all medicines, I never took any antibiotic without asking my specialist. Please consult your doctor for a proper prescription instead of self-medicating.
Honestly, I don't like giving medical advice on medicines because every pregnancy is unique. Personally, my gynecologist prescribed me ampicillin for a mild infection and everything went fine, but please talk to your doctor.
According to studies, ampicillin is generally considered safe and is often prescribed for bacterial infections during pregnancy. My doctor had prescribed it to me for a UTI in my second trimester, but you must only take it if your own gynac recommends it.
Whenever I have any health issue, I focus on light walks and simple home care first. For prescription drugs like ampicillin, my doctor always told me to strictly follow their instructions, so please call your clinic.
Do not take any antibiotics on your own, always get a proper prescription from your gynac. If your doctor has prescribed it to you, then it is safe to take as they know what is best for you and your baby.
I just delivered my baby boy last month, and I had to take ampicillin for an infection during my seventh month. It cleared my infection quickly and my baby is perfectly healthy, but yes, make sure your doc is the one prescribing it.
