to take the antibiotics or not?

Question

my doctor said i have the flu AND a sinus infection. she said if i still feel awful and (tmi) green snot by friday (today) she wants me to start antibiotics for the infection. I'm nervous it will hurt the baby.... would you take them?

Answer

I have been on antibiotics for a UTI and for a sinus infection. When you pick up your prescription verify with your pharmacist that it is safe to take While Pregnant. They will make sure

Answer

yes. this exact thing happened to me in my first pregnancy. they don’t prescribe antibiotics that harm the baby. you need to get feeling better mama!

Answer

I had a sinus infection pregnant with my last and my doc gave me a natural medication to take for ten days. No antibiotics. I’d see if there was an alternative to antibiotics before just accepting them as the first option your doc offers

Answer

okay. thanks ladies. the first trimester is so nerve wracking! at 5 weeks plus 4 I'm convinced pretty much everything is a risk. I'm paranoid, I even had a dream about miscarrying last night.

Answer

Antibiotics are safe :) I had to take some too while I was pregnant and my baby was perfectly fine

Answer

They gave me amoxicillin which is what they give children. I just got a bit higher dose. They aren’t gonna give you something that will hurt the baby. Definitely take them. The flu can get much worse

Answer

The antibiotics they will prescribe won't affect baby. Just take them. Some things won't go away without them and the flu can do far more damage to baby than any antibiotics could. Take them and get yourself feeling better
