I have an infection and my doctor might prescribe an antibiotic. I'm a bit worried about taking medicines during pregnancy. Can anyone share their experience with antibiotics that were given to them when they were expecting?
Yaar, please don't stress too much about this, but seriously do not pop any pill without checking with your doctor first. Every pregnancy is different and only your gynac knows what is 100% safe for u and the little one right now. Just give them a quick call, they will guide you.
Hey, please dont take any over-the-counter antibiotics on your own right now. I read a lot about this and my doctor specifically told me that only certain categories like penicillins are safe, but even then, the dose has to be carefully decided by your gynac after checking you. Better call your doctor's clinic directly.
Beta, always ask your gynac before taking any medicines during these months. Even for small things, self-medication is not safe. Take rest and let the doctor give you the right prescription.
Honestly I am also planning my pregnancy right now and I keep thinking about these things too! It is so scary to think what is safe and what is not. I guess only a doctor can tell us which antibiotic to trust when the time comes.
Please ask your doctor before taking any meds, even a simple antibiotic. I am extremely careful with what goes in my body right now, and even for my daily walking and prenatal yoga I waited for my gynac's clear green light. Let your doctor decide what is safe for u and the baby.
