I have a bad throat infection and my normal doc wants to give antibiotics, but im 9 weeks pregnant so thoda scared. Will check with my gynac before taking anything. Anyone here took antibiotics in early pregnancy?
It depends on which medicine it is, so please ask your doctor before taking anything. Don't worry too much, if your gynac has prescribed it, it will be completely safe for you and the baby.
Listen, do not even think of taking any antibiotic on your own or from old stock at home. Always ask your gynac first, because only they know which one is safe for the baby. Just call your doctor's clinic and get a proper prescription.
I had a lot of complications during my term, so I became extremely careful. Please don't take any medicine without asking your gynac first. Even a small tablet can affect the baby, so let your doctor decide what is safe for you.
Some antibiotics are perfectly fine during pregnancy and doctors give them to keep you safe from infections. I also had to take one for a UTI and everything went great, had a smooth normal delivery later. Just make sure you consult your doctor before swallowing any pill.
Honestly, some antibiotics are safe during pregnancy and some are not, so never self-medicate now. Only take what your gynac specifically prescribes for you. If you have an infection, it's actually safer to treat it under doctor's guidance than leaving it.
