diflucan and nursing mothers

Diflucan can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

I'm 16 weeks and I'm suffering from a horrible yeast infection. I took 7 days of terazol and 3 days of monistat. Neither helped. Creams usually don't on me. Diflucan is the only thing that works but my dr. said he doesn't prescribe it during pregnancy. I'm so sick of it. I'm miserable. Has anyone ever taken diflucan when they were pregnant? What are the side effects to the baby?

I will soon be nursing my second child, I'm due any day and I have chronic hypertension. You should already be taking a pregnancy safe medication for hypertension and if what you're taking now is not safe for nursing, then your doctor will change your meds after you have rhe baby. Just make sure he or she knows that you are planning on nursing at your next appointment and they should be able to answer any questions you have.

My doctor gave it to me yesterday and I read that it has Not been proven safe for pregnant or nursing women. And no smart comments about "your doc wont give you anything unsafe to take while prego" because I started bleeding a WHOLE bunch last night/this morning around 1am and I had to go to the hospital. That's why I'm asking.

Mastitis was nasty stuff it started out as pain in my breasts then they got hard and were hot to the touch. Nursing and pumping sent shooting pains from nipple to the top of the breast in fact it felt like it was shooting right through my chest to my back. I never got the relief from feeding her it just hurt all the time. It was caused from milk sitting in my breast too long because I didn't pump it all out or waited too long between feedings.

I got really sick and lost weight and then before I had a chance to heal up I was busy packing up boxes and moving them. I want to continue to breastfeed my baby but since all of that wear and tear on my body my milk supply is almost non-existent. I drink a lot of water and eat well, is there anything else nutrition-wise I can take to help my body recover from all this and get my milk supply back up?

I'm currently in nursing school.Has anyone ever had a baby and went back to school or did you take a semester off. I didn't want to stop school..

Concerns about antithyroid drugs center on the risk of thyroid suppression and goiter in the nursing infant, and cite concerns over potential nonthyroid side effects of antithyroid drugs, for example, autoimmune disturbances.

I started full time college classes when my son was 6 months old. I was in a nursing program so classes were on campus and clinical were at any one of five medical facilities within an hour's drive. My brother watched my son one day a week, my bf changed his work schedule to be able to stay home with him one day a week, and he went to an in-home daycare the rest of the week. I was in school for 2.5 years, just graduated in December having earned my degree as an RN.

Here are some tips that have proven helpful to other mothers (both in and out of the military) in maintaining and boosting their milk supply: Breastfeed often and exclusively (no bottles or pacifiers) when off duty and at home. This includes evenings, nights, and weekends. Remember: When my baby is with me, he gets the breast. When he is at daycare, he gets the bottle.

I had this problem with my left breast because of constant pain/blister from the baby not latching on correctly. Once it healed I tried nursing again and mine went back up.

The bleeding was light for the first week and very heavy for the last two weeks. I went to see an OBGYN and she took a simple and blood work...I have very painful and tender womb now still bleeding and awaiting the lab results. Please any advice is greatly appreciated.

Is there any mothers out there that have went through similar and can give me some kind of advice? Any would be helpful. I want to keep my pregnancy safe as possible but I need to be able to support my children better.

Just nursing whenever baby wants it, and eating well and staying hydrated. Your body will continue to make it as long as you need it! If you want you can get mothers milk tea. But you should be fine without it too.

t have much for breastfeeding mothers and you usually have to go spend a lot of money at specialty baby stores etc... so to find what I needed for cheap, yeah I got excited. Does anyone know other places I can find nursing bras and clothes for cheap?

All these data concern prevention of intrauterine and perinatal transmission in mothers with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis and/or high titers of HBV DNA. Some questions arise regarding breastfeeding in cases of chronic hepatitis B. Firstly, most studies that have been concerned with vertical or early childhood transmission have not reported breastfeeding rates, or if they have, the data are still the subject of debate.

Babies born to mothers that are HIV positive. Babies that are nursing on mothers that are HIV positive. That is your risks.

She recommended a gyn doctor that is good with diseases but he is no longer at the hospital she sent me too. I am constantly getting creams and diflucan for the yeast infections. I feel that my gyn is not meeting my need. I do not want to live on the creams and diflucan. I heard about a gyn on the radio that I would like to go to. I will make an appointment with her. I never took diflucan long term. I will get two diflucans at one time.

I went to the doctor and without hesitation he gave me a prescription for a drug called Diflucan. I looked the drug up a couple days after and found that it wasnt safe for pregnant or nursing women. Do any one know of this drug?? Its gets so unbearable sometimes. Its not much fun if i have to worry about an infection during my pregnancy rather than to enjoy it. Could any one help me... What could I use.

It also sounds like you have yeast, and fairly significant amounts too. I prefer diflucan when treating yeast, and have had more than one case that required fairly lengthy treatments of 1-3 months. Some women seem to have to take it every month. One thing that is important--topical treatments can cause a dermatitis that can be worse than any infection. For this reason, I like to avoid topical/intravaginal therapies. Other than something like Boric acid (which might work for you too).

It is not known whether lisinopril is excreted in breast milk. SIDE EFFECTS: First doses of lisinopril can cause dizziness due to a drop in blood pressure. Lisinopril can cause nausea, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, drowsiness, nasal congestion and sexual dysfunction. Lisinopril should be stopped if there are symptoms or signs of an allergic reaction including feelings of swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat. Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and hives occasionally occur.

Among babies nursed by HIV infected mothers, only about 10-15% catch HIV; and typically it takes 6 months before they become infected -- all the time swallowing several ounces of milk ever day. Given that low infectiousness, what can the risk possibly be through exposure to a drop or two? The fact is that breast milk has never once been implicated as the source of sexually acquired HIV, or of a new HIV infection in any human being except nursing babies.
