Doctor at a clinic mentioned this injection for an infection im dealing with. But i told them im pregnant so now im double checking before taking anything. Has anyone been given this during pregnancy?
If your doctor has prescribed a gentamicin injection, they would have considered your pregnancy and why it's needed. Don't self-medicate or take advice from outside sources for injections. Just ask your doctor directly why it's being given and if there are alternatives if you're concerned.
After my C-section, I was given some injections for recovery, but I don't remember the names. What I learned is that during pregnancy and post-delivery, doctors are very careful about what they prescribe. If your doctor gave it, it must be essential for your health.
Oh god, injections! I'm already tired of jabs for blood tests and vaccines. Any medicine in pregnancy needs a full doctor's explanation. If your doc prescribed it, then it must be really necessary, 'cause they're usually super strict about what we can take. Just ask them all your questions, don't hold back.
I remember being so worried about every single thing I put into my body when I was pregnant. But doctors are really cautious, especially with injections. If they've prescribed it, trust that they've done their homework and believe it's the safest option for you right now. My little one is a healthy toddler now, and looking back, I realize how much I worried unnecessarily sometimes.
Gentamicin is an antibiotic, and like all meds in pregnancy, it has to be prescribed very carefully by a doctor who knows your full medical history. Usually, they weigh the risks and benefits. If your doctor prescribed it, they likely have a good reason and believe it's necessary for your health.
My saas always says never take any 'sui' (injection) or dawa (medicine) without asking the family doctor properly. These things are very sensitive for baby. If your doctor has prescribed it, maybe it's very important for you, no? Just double check with them if you are feeling worried.
For any medicine, especially an injection, always follow your doctor's advice. They know what is safe for you and your baby. Don't worry too much, just trust your doctor.
